This looks good.

Ok, at least communication between Mail and gnome-keyring-daemon
succeeded once and the passwords git stored. Question is, why this
stopped working.

Do you have auto login enabled for your user?
Seahorse shows the name of the keyring the passwords are stored in on
the left. The keyring should be named login or "Anmeldung" when your
language settings in switchboard are set to German.

When elemetary OS is booted and you logged yourself in, the keyring
should be locked in case you have auto login enabled and unlocked in
case you hav auto login disabled.

In the former case starting Mail prompts you to enter the password to
unlock the keyring, Mail reads the imap password from the unlocked
keyring and displays your inbox.

In the latter case starting Mail reads the imap password from the
already unlocked keyring and displays your inbox.

Which part is missing on your system?
