Hi,
the state.ini file only describes what the folders, eventually the
folder tree, looked like the last time they've been entered. There are
saved things like whether the preview panel was shown in certain folder
and such. This file does not cause Evolution to try to talk to the
server.
Is there any .source file saved either in ~/.config/evolution/sources/
or under ~/.cache/evolution/sources/ of the name of the UID you see in
the error message (that would be "UID.source")? Eventually, is the UID
referenced in any .source file in either of the two directories?
I'm missing some details here, I'm sorry to ask so many questions:
* how did you create the mail account, directly in Evolution or
in GNOME Online Accounts or in Ubuntu Online Accounts?
* how did you delete the account?
* was evolution-source-registry restarted since you removed
the account?
Either the .source file still exists (or a reference to it), or the
source registry remembers it for some reason, thus it provides it when
it is asked for mail accounts, even the file itself is already gone
from the disk. It seems like a bug in the code, though I'd need to know
more details to not guess. I also cannot tell whether it's fixed in a
newer version, it's possible it's not.
Thanks and bye,
Milan
