+<PRE>
+&gt;<i> Hello all,
+</I>&gt;<i> I've had a rather interesting experience today. I run a BIOS assisted
+</I>&gt;<i> software raid 1 for my system. So to Mageia it seems I have one drive.
+</I>&gt;<i> Anyway long story short, I lost one drive due to a cable problem. When I
+</I>&gt;<i> noticed (half an hour later or so) I re-seated the cable and started
+</I>&gt;<i> Mageia.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Mageia starts up but is a bit confused over the filesystem. An fsck and
+</I>&gt;<i> we're back in business. When I log in I notice all my gnome-shell
+</I>&gt;<i> extensions are disabled, as is all other configuration I've done (like
+</I>&gt;<i> wallpaper). No bigge I go and fix that. However when I start Evolution
+</I>&gt;<i> it has lost all accounts. When I check the .local/share/evolution/mail
+</I>&gt;<i> everything is there, so no mails are lost, good.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> In lost+found I have a text file with all the account configuration, so
+</I>&gt;<i> it seems I just need to put it back in place, but I have no idea where
+</I>&gt;<i> this place is, can someone help me? If possible I would prefer to not
+</I>&gt;<i> re-
+</I>&gt;<i> create all accounts again.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> regards Daniel
+</I>
+Hello again,
+I've sort of solved this, I found that I can re-load the settings for
+Evolution from a backup (show just how important it is to take backups!)
+by typing the following
+
+gconftool-2 --load ./backup-restore-gconf.xml
+where backup-restore-gconf.xml comes from the tgz file that Evolution
+produces. The backup file I had was a bit on the old side in regards to
+mails so I did not want to restore mail from it.
+
+The textfile I had was in a slightly different format so I did not try to
+fix it, as I had a backup that was recent enough. The mails stored on
+disk were still present so everything was good after I issued the above
+command. Hopefully this can help someone else that encounters the same
+problem.
+
+regards
+Daniel
