Comment 3 for bug 546747

Having just set it up as a plain text file on my real account, I thought I'd try switching from that to gnome-keyring. It seemed to hang cgmail (it went grey) but eventually said it there was mail (although the config window was not responding and I had to Force Quit out of it). On reload it is now set to store the info in the keyring (the password is no longer in the accounts.ini file) however there are four new keyrings that have been created, login_1 to login_4. These were not there previously and it looks as if cgmail is failing to have permission to create the login keyring and so creating a copy of it. It did finally add an entry into my Login keyring and I can close cgmail and re-open it with accounts remembered.

However when I tried the exact same procedure on my clean account, nothing happened (and nothing was added to the keyring) and cgmail did not freeze / stop responding. When I quit cgmail the account disappears as above and I have to delete the two cgmail folders and re-setup from scratch to make it work (with a plain text file) again.
