hi philippe,

evolution stores your data in "$HOME/.evolution/", your account settings
in "$HOME/.gconf/apps/evolution" and your passwords in
"$HOME/.gnome2_private/Evolution". the passwords are not stored
encrypted, just base64 encoded.
...so you could just remove the latter directory.

cheers,
andre
