Re: [Evolution] Asked for mail passwords even though I check to have them added to keyring.

I recall similar issues when using Gnome Online Accounts (GOA) to configure my gmail account. The GOA login seems to expire after some time and I had to open GOA and login back from there. If I recall correctly, I was consistently asked for passwords with no suggestion given (or noticed by me) to the expired login issue. I only noticed it when I opened the GOA settings panel.

I suspect it's an Ubuntu issue since the people who report this all seem
to be using it - but that may just be coincidence.

Are the accounts configured using Gnome shell (i.e. as "online accounts"
or whatever they're called) or are they configured in Evolution?

Is gnome-keyring-daemon running?

If you use seahorse to look at the stored Gnome passwords, are there any
Evolution passwords stored?  (There may be quite a lot of things stored
in the keyring so use the filter at the top to search for "evolution".)

When you startup seahorse, are you asked for a password to access the
keyring?
