I am also wondering if this has to do with the way evolution starts. My KDE has evolution mail starting automatically, and with wifi the connection is not always started beforehand or is in the process of starting when evolution sometimes starts. From time to time, evolution will start with the little offline button in the bottom left as showing offline, even though I have internet connectivity. Pressing the button in these cases does nothing, and sometimes also that means that the keyring has not been opened. Since I noticed that you have to unlock the keyring, I have had one or two instances where the keyring 'Default' (where evo stores its pws), and 'Login' refuse to open. Despite after several instances of reboot, kill task, etc, the improper start of evolution seems to have corrupted the keyring, and I have to either delete the keys or reset the keyring by deleting the keyring files. For devs that think that this is purely a keyring issue, I'd challenge you to investigate the case of improper startup, however, I am not sure if the move to systemd will change the startup bugs, but then again I cannot test it on this machine because the AMDGPU drivers won't work with my APU and FGLRX drivers are no longer supported on newer releases (Past 15.04), plus 15.10 is no longer supported :(
