Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution
Hi, I want to store my corporate email account password into a separate
encrypted keyring on my laptop.
So I run seahorse utility and create new keyring "email" protected by master
password and make it to be default one.
Then I set up my corporate email account and when I first time check my mailbox
evolution asks password for it.
I enter my password and check that I want evolution to remember it and after
mailbox check complete I quit evolution.
That's all right, now I have my email account password stored into "email"
keyring protected by master password.
Now using seahorse utility I lock "email" keyring and set another one to be
default ("login" keyring in my case) and run evolution again.
Evolution now asks master password for "email" (currently non-default) keyring
to unlock it, so I enter it.
Now I assume that evolution would retrieve my corporate mailbox password from
that keyring, but it isn't - it asks my mailbox password.
I can see in seahorse that "email" keyring become to be unlocked after I
entered master password during evolution startup, that there is a entry for my
corporate mailbox and I can see mailbox password in the entry properties.
