# Data storage locations

This is only relevant for advanced users who want to debug problems.

Evolution 3.6 and later stores its data according to the XDG Base Directory Specification. By default this means:

# The user's data files

$HOME/.local/share/evolution

# Various configuration and state files

$HOME/.config/evolution

# Account settings

$HOME/.config/evolution/sources

# Configuration settings in GSettings

$HOME/.config/dconf

This location also includes settings of other applications. To output only Evolution related data on the screen, the Dconf commands dconf dump /org/gnome/evolution/ and dconf dump /org/gnome/evolution-data-server/ can be used.

# Disposable data caches

$HOME/.cache/evolution
