Moved to Evolution after 10 years of Thunderbird...

For security reasons I need to store my Evolution related files in an
encrypted folder.

So I moved most Evolution directories to my Truecrypt directory (ext4) and
created a bunch of symlinks:

- Settings: ~/.gconf/apps/evolution   ->  ~/secure/.evolution/.gconf/
apps/evolution
- User data: ~/.local/share/evolution  ->
~/secure/.evolution/.local/share/evolution
- Config & state files: ~/.config/evolution ->
~/secure/.evolution/.config/evolution
- Data cache: ~/.cache/evolution  ->  ~/secure/.evolution/.cache/evolution
- Password & X.509 certificates (I don't know where there are located)

I have a problem with ~/.gconf/apps/evolution because when I restart the
machine and remount the encrypted drive then the mail/%gconf.xml no longer
contains my account information so I get prompted for account creation. I
then need to reconfigure all the emails accounts and settings however the
local inbox is there with my emails.

The only workaround I found was to keep ~/.gconf/apps/evolution in clear
text (not symlinked). Is there anything I should be doing in order to store
my config directory in this encrypted symlinked directory?

Thanks
