$HOME/.gnome2_private/Evolution stores the hashed passwords.
Some types of failures erroneously get classified under 'Authentication
Failed' which then removes the saved password and causes Evolution to
prompt.

You can capture such failures using CAMEL_DEBUG=1 on the terminal where
you run Evolution and file a bug report with the log attached.
