        Hi,
I'd guess there is a trouble to connect to the gnome-keyring-daemon,
depending what the "xxxxxxxx" in the error message relates to - if only
a few numbers (like ":1.34"), then it can be the keyring daemon closed
unexpectedly, or some other process. Maybe there's a crash report
somewhere in the system (I do not know how the Ubuntu catches those,
I'm sorry).

I thought there was something about that in the user documentation, but
I do not see it there, thus my memory is (probably) wrong.

In any case, make sure the gnome-keyring-daemon is installed and
started before you start Evolution (it can be auto-started by D-Bus
when needed too) and it does not close while any of the evolution*
processes are running. It can be tricky with a non-GNOME environment,
but there are users running it successfully for years.
