Evolution stores them in your home directory as a hidden directory
called .evolution . If you Cd to .evolution you will see directories for
you mail, address book, cache, calendar and tasks.

In the mail directory, you will see directories for you config, local.
pop, vfoder and views.

The directory local/Inbox.sbd will contain a listing of all your folders
and local mail...The folders are actually ASCII files and you can view
them with something like less, more, cat. etc..

Hope this helps

Ed
