Description Scott Couston 2006-12-29 04:27:56 UTC 
Evolution. After an upgrade when you first open Evolution the application does not retain the passwords for all the pop3 accounts from the prior installation of 10.1.

This is further compounded by the application NEVER retaining the passwords for the POP3 accounts despite the tick box 'remember password' being activated.

The user needs to enter the account password for every single send and receive process after update. This renders the application basically unusable.

Further testing. Evolution now maintains its passwords for pop accounts in the keyring of a Gnome install.

In other words if you want to use Evolution - you are confined to using a Gnome Desktop

I think this is a Duplicate of Bug 222479

And i think it is no good idea to force using gnome.

This means for all the KDE-Users evolution is not a chance...

This is no good idea, even if the solution are only some lines of code as described in: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=222479#c44
Comment 4 Scott Couston 2007-01-02 21:21:46 UTC 
I think Martin is correct, however I cannot understand why bug 222479 which was a beta2 and rc1 bug is still outstanding when there has been a final release??/???

This patch falls back to file if keyring is not available. This will be pushed into autobuild. Im closing this as dupe of 222479.

Srinivasa, can you tell us when an update will come out for our 10.2 installs? Until then, evolution is pretty useless (and running gnome-keyring-daemon in a KDE environment doesn't fix it either).
Comment 8 Srinivasa Ragavan 2007-02-09 18:06:50 UTC 
Jonathon, Today I have pushed the patch to autobuild. Looks like I have to get an SWAMP ID and resubmit it again. Should be availabe pretty soon.
Comment 9 Jonathon Robison 2007-02-21 15:19:32 UTC 
Hmm....Nothing on the update servers yet!
