Evolution E-mail Fitlers

Can anyone tell me where Evolution stores the mail filters? I have created a set of them and I want to back them up.

Several sources have given which directories and files are involved, but they seem out of date. Examples: .evolution/mail/filters/ and .evolution/mail/filters.xml. These files are located on my system but the date-of-modifcation clearly shows they are not the ones currently being used in Evolution 3.4.4.

Does anybody know where these files are stored?

No idea so I'd first check the documentation or evolution users mailing list or Wiki (if any), else you could use 'lsof' to find out which files are kept open by the process or 'strace -eopen' to see what files a process would open on startup?

I found them. Currently the Evolution e-mail filters are stored in .config/evolution/mail/filters.xml
