Comment 4 for bug 1651575

It appear to not be the same as those two bugs, although the getaround is the same: restart the daemon

In this case, evolution is attempting to authenticate against a locally hosted plain password login wrapped in https (off-the-mill php)

Evolution does not offer to store the credentials somewhere, it accepts them and the next time you start evolution, it says authentication failed. I could not authenticate until I realized goa-daemon needs a restart. I had no idea there was a goa-daemon before it broke.
