There should be no need to use the root password. Perhaps you mean the
user's login password. Under Gnome if the keyring password is the same
as the login password it should unlock automatically, otherwise you
have to unlock it (once) per login session.

When I had these kind of problems I checked the keyring with Seahorse.
As far as I've seen I had to unlock "Login"... using the root password.
If it is locked the password cannot be written into the keyring.

There's lots of messages in the archive about this issue. Basically,
evolution doesn't handle password saving, it uses system functions for
it - which for most systems means that it's handled by gnome-keyring.

So, is gnome-keyring running?

The "backup" in Evolution is just a tar file. It copies all of your
data every time. That's why it's not suitable for daily backups.

Not an Evolution problem. Consult your desktop documentation. You might
find it useful to run xdg-settings (from the command line) to see how
you're set up.

Thanks folks - I'll use the provided backup feature. The way Evolution
stores data is fine but i was unsure. It's similar to TB. Sylpheed
makes life easy as it stores mailboxes for each email address in a
named directory but Sypheed doesn't cope with reading html so well
which is why I have changed to Evolution.

One thing I have noticed is that whilst in evolution if I click on a
link it invokes the Firefox browser rather than Chromium (set as
default). There's a setting somewhere that i have missed.

[Evolution] Password Not Saving

[element79]

Dear evolution-list,

When I click the "Send / Receive" button it always asks me for the
password, even though I enter it correctly and select the checkbox "Add
this password to your keyring".  How do I fix this problem?

I am using Debian 8.6, installed with all defaults.  Evolution version
3.12.9.

I have set my Gmail accounts up to show All mail, Sent, Spam, Starred
- just four which is the way I like it. The various labels
irritate me so in Settings I have hidden them leaving just the four I
want. I think you cannot have your Inbox as 'mainmail box' as inbox is
a label like 'sent' is. This is where Gmail is different to other
providers - for better or worse. I have used yahoo and used the Inbox
as my 'all mailbox' which is what i think you are trying to do in
Gmail.

In Gmail 'All Mail' is your main mailbox. As for the Inbox i set a
filter 'if the email does not contain the words
"thtrftefdersewdfcgfv4356975" (some gibberish) - Archive. So all
received mail goes into the All mail box (archived).
