I would like to confirm this on Edgy (evolution 2.8.1-0ubuntu4). When I start evolution, windows confirming saved passwords come up as per David Prieto's original description. Evolution works at creating the mail folders and displays in the background and no data is transfered over the network/internet as confirmed by the network monitor applets.
After cancelling the windows (one for each account in evolution) I can click Send/Receive (F9) and evolution will check email from each account without asking for a password--the passwords remained saved. I have noticed that if I switch evolution to be off-line BEFORE closing it, that when I restart evolution it does not present these password dialogs. I can then switch evolution to be on-line and check emails without ever seeing a password dialog. This is a crude "work-around" but may help diagnose the source of the problem. -- evo asks for password on startup https://launchpad.net/bugs/68255 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
