I have been using Evolution email client since some years, now in Fedora 42. Everything was fine until a few days ago when I applied some updates (not OS version but just some typical software updates) and now all the configuration is gone, meaning that when I open Evolution it behaves as if it were the first time I open it and asks to create an email account.
What could have happened?
Could be related to this.
In my configuration files I find this:
$ tree ~/.local/share/evolution/ && tree ~/.config/evolution/ && tree ~/.cache/evolution/
/home/myself/.local/share/evolution/

Looks like stuff is missing.
