You don't mention software versions, but https://help.gnome.org/users/evolution/stable/data-storage.html should be a high-level overview. By default, the databases are under ~/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/*/contacts.db in 3.28. Not sure if any magic in the registry settings (dconf) is involved - from a quick glance I can only see a value for the default address book in there. andre -- Andre Klapper | ak...@gmx.net https://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/ _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
