Many thanks to all who responded to my cries for help. I seem to have a 
functioning system now!

The trick was to:

 Uninstall gnome-keyring and
 Reinstall gnome-keyring

That was it! I do not know if a) gnome-keyring itself did not install properly 
or b) one or more dependencies were missing (despite the assertion that RPM 
does not allow packeages to be installed with unresolved dependencies) or c) I 
inadvertently did something along the way.

What I think I learned

OK, yes, I am a relative newbie to Linux (about 1.5 years with Linux Mint 13 
MATE and 8-9 months with Mageia KDE) -- and will confess that I have not used 
command lines much since the days of MS-DOS. So, I have learned a bit more 
about Linux -- other than how to distro hop. :)

More importantly to address an issue that was raised during my agonizing: it 
would appear that KWallet and Gnome keyring can co-exist -- and that Evo will 
not call KWallet (or at least the latter will not respond). I did try running 
Evo without gnome-keyring, but it would not function. After reinstalling the 
keyring it behaved normally asking for a master password and the password for 
the e-mail account.

Again, thanks to Matthew, Patrick, Pete, Ralf, Rick and anyone whose response 
may have crossed this message in cyberspace.
