Thanks Andre, my bad, not a terribly helpful initial message of mine.
Ok. 

I currently have Evo 3.42.4 on my old(er) Linux (Fedora 35)
workstation.
I access it from my new machine by nfs mounting the entire Evo setup
(files in ~/.config/evolution and ~/.local/share/evolution) to "the
same places" on the new machine.  This works just fine, but when I
restart the machine actually holding the files (eg for a reboot after a
kernel update) I have to unlock it by supplying my password to KDE
Wallet.

I want to scrap the old machine (to reduce the number of computers
under my desk) but want to keep the disk, so it seems easiest to simply
add the disk to my server (Fedora server, also 35) and mount the
relevant directories from there.

I can do that successfully but on starting Evolution, it fails to
appear. Looking at the system monitor shows it has started but is in a
"disk sleep" state.  I haven't been able to find anything useful in the
system log. To write this I have had to revert to my old setup so can't
easily retry.

I haven't tried to start it from the server, this normally runs
headless with just terminal (& control) access through Cockpit.

I have to say it's really just an assumption that the Wallet issue is
the important part, but what else could it be?
