As Andre says, all the info is in the Help. As a sysadmin, I
understand what you are saying, but you need to understand that GUI
desktops are personal, it is inappropriate to store user specific
configuration in /etc - /etc is for system wide configuration.

I would strongly advise that you just encrypt the whole laptop - it
saves having to think about what you want to put where. I would also
warn against trying to be "clever" with Evolution's internal data
stores: it may appear to work, but it will come back and bite you in
the future.
