Thanks for your bug. I'm marking as rejected, evolution has many issues to be worked before trying to make it resistant to users playing to run rm -rf on its files while it's running. That's not really a bug, why an user would do that anyway? And if you decide to clean the configuration do it after stopping the program and start it again
