Thanks Pete. This is what worked for me: I have both login.keyring and default.keyring. The file 'default' already pointed at login.keyring. I tried switching login.keyring with default.keyring but that didn't work. I switched them back and removed (i.e. moved aside) default.keyring. That worked. IOW even though the default keyring was already set as login.keyring, the fact that a default.keyring file also existed seems to have been what made Evo not work. I'm not sure if this counts as a bug or a feature, but it works now. And my brain hurts. As my kids would say, woohoo! poc _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
