PS
it always seems to be last mail password added to the keyring. I have
evolution with several mail accounts. I had to add a new account for a
Instagram account and now it it is only the latter that `bombs`, not the
main gmail account. The pop account for business doesn't fail nor the
internet provider email account that were added prior to the above.
