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. – Lekensteyn May 10 '13 at 21:28

  • The user's data files: $HOME/.local/share/evolution
  • Various configuration and state files: $HOME/.config/evolution
  • Disposable data caches: $HOME/.cache/evolution
  • Additional configuration files: $HOME/.gconf/apps/evolution

    Don't forget: $HOME/.gconf/apps/evolution for more config files (those of the several components like addressbook, calendar, mail). – Izzy May 11 '13 at 12:35
  • The link is broken. Current version is at https://help.gnome.org/users/evolution/3.10/data-storage.html.en – Caetano Sauer Nov 28 '13 at 10:30
  • Those data files don't seem to include the calendar entries. – DanMan Jun 08 '20 at 21:01
