Re: [Evolution] Enter password for the default keyring to unlock

The gnome-keyring is the password store for Evolution and just about any other Gnome based application.  The password you are to put into the boxes is for securing the keyring and making it easier for applications to find passwords they need to make automated tasks quicker.
If you don't want it, rebuild Evolution and use the configure option --disable-gnome-keyring
