Is this an environment setting or an Evolution command-line option? I
tried the latter and it said "Cannot import any of the given URIs"

I don't run bash. If it's an environment setting, how do I do it in
tcsh?

I marked all the settings false and restarted Evolution, but the
account persisted. Do I really need to reboot? Would simply deleting
the file work?
