I was forced to pull the battery out by a runaway app and ended up with a corrupt email database. Much better than the last time it happened though, when I ended up with a corrupt optfs and had to restore from backup. This time I fixed it by deleting and recreating the account and everything works fine.

However, here is my question. I had five accounts, lets call them Account1, Account2 etc up to Account5. Strewn all over my fs, I found folders with corresponding names, namely Account1ID through Account5ID. Deleting Account5 deleted the folders Account5ID except in one place, /var/lib/gconf/apps/modest/accounts. Recreating the account left the old folder and created a new one, Account5ID1.

Never mind, I thought, I'll just delete the account again, this time including the folders, and recreate it again. I ended up with Account5ID2. So I am guessing there is a config file somewhere but I cannot find it. Can anyone help?

It does not bother me as such as it works fine as it is but I am a fussy fellow and like things neat and tidy
