~/.gnome2_private/Evolution

It's encrypted.  You can't tell what the password is, just by looking at
the file, but you ought to be able to copy it to another box and use it,
as-is.

Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5.  Today, it's FC7.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
