Given that I do use Evolution, and that I have the Ubuntu 12.10, and that I have neither a ~/.evolution nor a ~/.gconf/.evolution file, where are the evolution files please?

In particular, every time I try to modify a certain contact evolution crashes, among other problems. Yes, I've reported the bug. So I thought I'd modify the database or xml file directly. Based on a find command, I suppose the evolution files are in

~/.local/share/evolution/

  • Tip: try to find files based on their modification date: find -mmin -5 -ls lists all files modified within the last five minutes.

    Don't forget: $HOME/.gconf/apps/evolution for more config files (those of the several components like addressbook, calendar, mail).

  • Those data files don't seem to include the calendar entries.
