Description André Klapper 2008-07-26 16:55:19 UTC 
http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/evolution/trunk/shell/apps_evolution_shell.schemas.in?revision=35240&view=markup

includs the string

If true, then connections to the proxy server require authentication. The username/password combo is defined by \"/apps/evolution/shell/network_config/authentication_user\" and locally stored password in .gnome2_private/.



Are you still using that .gnome2_private one? What about gnome-keyring support?
Comment 1 Matthew Barnes 2008-08-01 17:35:32 UTC 
Changed to:

  If true, then connections to the proxy server require authentication. The
  username is retrieved from the "/apps/evolution/shell/network_config
  /authentication_user" GConf key, and the password is retrieved from either
  gnome-keyring or the ~/.gnome2_private/Evolution password file.

Fixed in revision 35880.  Will announce.

Feel free to reopen if that's unsatisfactory.
