For those who, like me, have a major problem "kicking" (aka deleting) the full .evolution directory, with several email accounts plus a large local collection of old emails (>5GB total), I have tried the following and so far all is good:

- once upgraded evo, delete from the evolution settings the exchange account, then close evolution
- open a terminal
- rm -rf ~/.evolution/exchange
- rm -rf ~/.evolution/mail/exchange
- if you want to go any deeper, search under ~/.evolution for references to your old exchange account
- reboot (maybe not necessary, but just to be on the safe side...)
- upon reboot open evolution and re-add your exchange account. All other accounts/settings should be there untouched.

All based on previous posts, thank you all
