        Hi,
try to restart evolution-source-registry and/or gnome-keyring-daemon
before that. Evolution(-data-server) doesn't talk directly to
gnome-keyring, it talks to it through libsecret. It (libsecret) can use
anything what talks on a certain D-Bus interface, not only
gnome-keyring-daemon.

Anyway, restart the gnome-keyring-daemon and then run
   $ evolution --force-shutdown
and the things should be fine again (unless some other thing is causing
trouble).

        Bye,
        Milan
