Short answer or long?

Short answer: Use a stable distribution.  GNOME is broken on Ubuntu,
they perform no QC and change things willy-nilly.

Long answer:  you are probably having under-the-covers NetworkManager
and GNOME key-ring issues.  See the short answer.  But check your
diagnostic longs and see if there are any related errors.  It might be
that will tell you something useful.

I use Evolution 7 days a week all day - I do not see these kinds of
issues.
