Comment 66 for bug 1299604

I have discovered that if one waits longer, ignores the password popular
evolution will get the mail. If it doesn't then just click the get button.
If everything password popular appears you get multiple entries of mail
password in seahorse and start up process is slowed even more. Using the
previous remedy in the thread you can remove the excess entries.

The password popup problem appears to be a poor communication or poor/out
of order timing with seahorse password manager and evolution start up.

Ignore popup and be patient and all is well, although annoying.
