Every time I start Evolution it asks for my Exchange password, and every
time I enter it with the remember box checked. I think this was a
problem for me in the past, but then it went away. I'm now using a fresh
install of Hardy and it's back. I've tried deleting my
~/.gconf2/keyrings directory and starting fresh, but the it always asks
for my password.

The weird thing is that I'm also subscribed to my Google Calendar and
Evolution does remember my password for that just fine.

If I start Evolution up from a console, I get this error message:

e-data-server-ui-Message: Unable to find password(s) in keyring (Keyring 
reports: No matching results)
e-data-server-ui-Message: Key file does not have group 'Passwords-Exchange'

I got the same error message for my Google calendar (though the missing
group was 'Passwords-google' instead of 'Passwords-Exchange') when I
cleared out the keyring. But after I entered my password for it the one
time, it never prompted me again.

If I run 'Application' -> 'Accessories' -> 'Passwords and Encryption
Keys' (/usr/bin/seahorse), after I enter my Exchange password into
Evolution, it shows a password entry with name:
"exchange://myusername;[EMAIL PROTECTED]/", and it has the
correct password saved. Even if I close Evolution, this password entry
still shows up in seahorse. However, if I start evolution back up again,
the password is removed from seahorse (until I respond to the password
prompt, at which point it show back up in seahorse). The Google Calendar
password never disappears from seahorse.
