=== Evolution forgets SMTP password ===[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/1299604 Ubuntu / Evolution Bug Report: evolution keeps asking for password] Evolution uses "Keyring" to manage account passwords under Ubuntu / Mint / Gnome Linux. A program called "seahorse" is included with Gnome or Mint under typical installations under the name "Passwords and Keys."It seems that if Evolution has trouble connecting to the SMTP mail server, just once, it will trash all the saved passwords for SMTP mail account in keyring.  This is clearly a bug in Evolution that the devs refuse to address.Once this happens, user must close exit out of Evolution and then go into keyring "otherwise known as Passwords and Keys" and use the search tool to enter "Evolution" then delete all Evolution entries.  Close keyring, open Evolution, send email and enter the password so Evolution creates new keyring entries for each email SMTP account.
