Evolution not storing passwords

[tyler]

I upgraded my system from hardy to intrepid.

Evolution seemed to work as expected, but when I added a new e-mail account.
The first time it asked me for the password, which was expected.

But after I close the gnome session, the password is gone.
It is neighter stored in the gnome keyring (Evolution is using the passwords from there for all other accounts), nor in the old .gnome2_private/Evolution file, which I deleted some time ago...

thank you for your bug report. do you have several gnome-keyring available in seahorse? which one do you use? what is the account type you are using there? could you open the bug on bugzilla.gnome.org where the people writting the software will read it too?

I'm only using the default keyring unlocked with the login password.

The account in question is a pop3/smtp type with ssl encryption and logintype "login". (gmx.at)

A second account from the same provider, which was already configured in hardy, does work without problems.

As for gnome bug tracker: Someone was faster, have a look here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=552583

I am having a similar problem. Passwords are saved, but if the server becomes unavailable, it prompts for the password of the user (as before). However, unlike in earlier versions, it no longer has the password in the popup box, and you have to re-enter it every time.

It is otherwise saving the password, but it's the box that shows up when the server is down that no longer has it entered automatically.
