Transfering Evolution profile from one computer to another


I copied ~/evolution directory, my mail was transferred but I lost all definitions of email accounts. Where this information is stored?

that should have been in the ~/evolution directory AFAIK.

I did sort of the same thing when I reinstalled Mandrake 9.1 on my laptop...I tarred up that directory, stuck it on the server, did my format/re-install, then untarred it back into my home folder.

The first time I ran Evolution after that it took a couple of minutes to update my folders, but all was intact, including the pop3 accounts info.

Maybe there's a corrupt file in there somewhere?
