Wrong! If there are network issues Evo is the only MUA I know that asks
again and again and again to enter the password. This seemingly isn't a
fault of GNOME keyring. Even if it would be a fault of GNOME keyring,
but it isn't, but assumed it would be, than stop using GNOME keyring ;)!

Since the OP didn't need to check a box, but the issues automagically
disappeared it's likely that the OP did experience network issues and
the odd misbehavior of Evo.
