	Hi,
that's true, there are the settings editors, but they not necessarily
work as intended. The GSettings can be set to not store the settings
into D-Conf but to elsewhere, the Flatpak users cannot run dconf-editor
on the host system, but in the sandbox, to have access to the settings
which matter to the application, and the most importantly, the
Evolution would need to add a dependency on the dconf-editor itself,
which is a big no-no, because that application is not meant for regular
users, as it warns the users about it on its start.

Thus even it is a code duplication in some level, having it inside the
application makes sure what options are changed are really relevant to
the application, while not adding additional dependencies on external
applications, which might not be relevant in some (even rare)
situations.

	Bye,
	Milan
