Thank you George,

I already knew evolution-gconf-tool and I tried to install it under
Ubuntu but the make process failed. Moreover the development of this
tool seems stopped from years.

Take a look at this:

Not sure what state it's in but it might be a better starting point.

There's no real meaning to the digits, it's just an algorithm to
generate a globally unique identifier.  Specifically, it's constructed
from:

uid="[time].[pid].[seri...@[host]"

[time]   Timestamp when the UID was generated
[pid]Evolution's process ID when the UID was generated
[serial] Meaningless number, incremented for each UID generated
[host]   Your hostname

See evolution-data-server/libedataserver/e-uid.c for more details.
