Ah, its in ~/.gconf/apps/evolution.

And its now clear (err, yes?) that .gconf is sort of a gnome conf
folder.

I would never have thought to look in there, but once one looks, it's
sort of obvious.

Well, it always helps, when looking for something, to know what you are
looking for. Bit like --help or man pages - they are reminders for
people who know it already, but pretty much useless for those without
the base knowledge to start with!
