How would I go about moving email accounts with passwords to new

Using fedora 26.
I believe passwords are stored in the Gnome keyring. By default they are
decrypted with the login password.
The keyring files are stored in either ~/.gnome2/keyrings or in later
versions like Fedora 26 in ~/.local/share/keyrings. So you might need to
move the files if you're restoring from a very old backup.
Email accounts are in ~/.config/evolution, I am pretty sure. Really old
versions may have it in .evolution or .gnome2/evolution, I don't recall
exactly.
If you used Gnome Online Accounts to set them up, be careful. A while
ago I ended up with duplicated email accounts because the hostname of my
laptop changed so GOA decided to rebuild new copies of all of the
accounts. I had to delete and recreate all of the accounts.
I did file a bug so it may have been fixed. I never checked since
building new copies of everything Gnome and doing test restores of
backup copies to new machines with different names really didn't appeal
to me.
