As Jeff pointed out, current Evolution is integrated with Gnome-keyring. This pop-up is probably, huh, popping up because your login password and the g-kr password do not match anymore.

On current 2.25 Gnome I cannot find this utility anymore -- but this may well be due to my ignorance. If you still have this utility, run it, and reset the g-kr password (your previous login password should be the one) to your current login password, and you should be all set. Thanks for the tip. I didn't know that the login password was reused for the keyring. I didn't have gnome-keyring-manager, but found the possibility to change the keyring password in seahorse-preferences. It's called Encryption and Keyrings in the GNOME desktop preferences, which is a bit more useful name... -- Bye, Patrick Ohly -- patrick.o...@gmx.de http://www.estamos.de/ ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

Also, it keeps asking me for my email password even though I've clicked the box that says, Remember password Any ideas? Yes. Again, as already pointed out, your Evolution is set to use gnome-keyring. So... it will always use it, until you rebuild without g-kr integration.

Re: [Evolution] Enter password for the default keyring to unlock
Phil The gnome-keyring is the password store for Evolution and just about any other Gnome based application. The password you are to put into the boxes is for securing the keyring and making it easier for applications to find passwords they need to make automated tasks quicker. If you don't want it, rebuild Evolution and use the configure option --disable-gnome-keyring j On Fri, 2009-02-06 at 20:52 +, Phil wrote: Hi group, Trying to use Evolution for E mail.

Re: [Evolution] Enter password for the default keyring to unlock
Sort of. It wont bother you as much. You should only be prompted once when you first logon (when Evo data Server cranks up) and once for the first time Evo starts up after configuring the keyring (If you Always Allow, you wont see the 2nd prompt again). From then on Evo should look in the keyring for authentication and you shouldn't be prompted for a Password once you allow evolution access to the keyring.

Re: [Evolution] Enter password for the default keyring to unlock
This appears broken in SVN head also???. It keeps asking me again rather than getting it from the keyring. On Fri, 2009-02-06 at 16:32 -0500, Jeff Singleton wrote: Sort of.
