Just started having this exact issue with my EWS exchange account AND my gmail account (which I use 2factor for so it was driving me insane)
What I did was go into seahorse and just clear all my saved logins. After doing that and then re-entering my login info once more it seems to have saved the logins to my keyring persistently. Atleast between evolution restarts, haven't tried a reboot though -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evolution-data-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107974 Title: Evolution will not remember exchange password Status in Evolution Data Server: Fix Released Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “evolution-data-server” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Evolution continually asks for the exchange password when sending/replying to an email, opening the calendar, adding an appointment and even when I try to open my contacts, despite having checked the 'remember password' option every time the password request appears. This occurs: - When sending a new email, or replying to an email (password request for Contacts appears) - When opening contacts list hosted on an exchange server to view (password request for Contacts appears) - When opening the calendar hosted on the exchange server to view (password request for Calendar appears) - When attempting to add an appointment to the calendar (password request for Calendar appears) Every time, I re-enter the password and make sure the 'remember password' option is checked.
