It doesn't appear to be easily done at all - there appear to be many files that would have to be edited, all in some really messy-looking XML, with alot of values that might not be obvious. However, if you want to try and find everything that is touched by adding a new account, it appears that all the files live under ~/.gconf/apps/evolution (and sub-dirs) - but there might be additional locations that I'm not aware of.

We Have you tried a revdep-rebuild -p -v to see if there is a dependency issue that would be causing the evolution crash? Also, have you tried a re-emerge of evolution and evolution-data-server? Another option would be to emerge the ~x86 evolution (2.4.2.1) - it has been quite a bit more stable for me than previous versions of evolution. -James > were told today that all correspondence from the school would be sent > out to our student email accounts.
