Perhaps it might be easier if you did!

Evolution no longer stores things in .evolution, so that page is out of
date - the current equivalent is probably .local/share/evolution

That's because it's part of the gnome-keyring package - well at least it
is on Fedora.

It depends on whether that library contains the necessary code - which I
doubt since they are distinct files on my system.

I should also say that I have never had to configure Evolution to
explicitly use gnome-keyring, it is always just worked.
