Where are the Calendar exchange account setting stored on a mac

Hi

I have me calendar and contacts on my Mac synced with my exchange calendar and contacts at work. It was working fine until yesterday, and then I had an issue with the exchange server certificate

In trying to fix it I deleted the exchange account on my Mac (Settings - Internet Accounts) and then recreated it

The contacts are working fine, but not the calendar anymore

I cannot remember all the settings I had before in setting up the calendar account, and I would like to go back in time machine to see what the settings were

Can anyone help me identify the system file that would hold these settings so I can restore it from yesterday in Time machine and get the old settings back

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5), 27" 24GB, 3.2GHz i5, 3TB, late 2013

Just to be clearer the settings I am trying to locate are input in

CALENDAR - preferences - accounts - then click on the tab called server settings.

Where are whatever you put in these fields stored? Is it is some library plist file somewhere?

Thanks

I'm not familiar with syncing with Exchange, but that sort of stuff in normally in your User/Library.

Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library.
