Look, I'm not saying one way or the other is correct. They are different. Evo conforms to certain standards as is necessary for it to be a well behaved Gnome application. Plenty of other applications do the same thing, just look in ~/.config - if anything TB & FF are the exceptions. (SSH is not a desktop application, so is not comparable.) > > From this info: > https://help.gnome.org/users/evolution/stable/data-storage.html.en > I understand want to copy this folder: > > ~/.local/share/evolution > ~/.config/evolution > ~/.cache/evolution No, don't copy .cache - it's a cache and contains throwaway data. > ~/.config/dconf (*) > But into ~/.config/dconf are stored all DCONF setting of all other > application, an in this case I want to copy only Evo settings, not > the rest.

Restore your home directory to that, run Evolution and create a backup and save the file somewhere. De lete the temporary account. Restore the backup to your own account within Evolution.
