On my partner's Debian Lenny computer, running Evolution 2.22.3.1 on KDE
(but all Gnome libraries are installed and up-to-date), Evolution is not
remembering passwords. Each time she logs in and goes to use Evolution,
it requests her email (pop and smtp) passwords, even though the
"remember passwords" box is ticked both on the request dialog box as
well as under the options. For whatever reason the passwords just
aren't being stored.
In trying to fix this, after Googling I came across a few bug reports
about this (but no solutions, nor any updates, patches, etc.) and no
clear indication of useful steps to take. In desperation I uninstalled
and purged Evolution and reinstalled it, but the same old problem
again. I am reluctant to install Evolution from testing/ "squeeze"
because of dependency issues and am, at this point, beginning to counsel
her to switch clients to something like Sylpheed or Icedove/ Thunderbird.
So, this is a last gasp of help before I deep-six the sucker and install
an application that doesn't trip over something as basic as remembering
passwords.
Your advice and help would be very much appreciated.
Cheers
AG
