# Emplacements de stockage des données

This is only relevant for advanced users who want to debug problems.

Evolution 3.6 and later stores its data according to the XDG Base Directory Specification. By default this means:

# Les fichiers des données de l'utilisateur

$HOME/.local/share/evolution

# Divers fichiers de configuration et d'état

$HOME/.config/evolution

# Paramètres de compte

$HOME/.config/evolution/sources

# Paramétrages de configuration dans GSettings

$HOME/.config/dconf

This location also includes settings of other applications. To output only Evolution related data on the screen, the Dconf commands dconf dump /org/gnome/evolution/ and dconf dump /org/gnome/evolution-data-server/ can be used.

# Caches de données temporaires

$HOME/.cache/evolution
