Please describe the problem:
Evolution won't remember your password if NTLM/SPA authentication is used with IMAP server.

Steps to reproduce:
1. In Evolution, add a new account with an IMAP server that supports NTLM/SPA authentication.  (I am connecting to a MS Exchange server with IMAP enabled.)  Choose this authentication type during the new account wizard, and make sure you check the "Remember password" box.

Note that you need to create a new account to reproduce this.  Changing an existing IMAP account (that Evolution already knows the password to) to use NTLM/SPA authentication will not cause the bug.  (See workaround below.)

2. Finish setting up the account.  Evolution asks for your password and all seems to be working.  However, at the password prompt, the option is to "Remember this password for the rest of the session."

3. Close and restart Evolution.  It asks for your password again.


Actual results:
Every time I start Evolution, I have to type in my password to connect to the IMAP server.  Doesn't matter if I check the "Remember this password for the rest of the session" checkbox at the password prompt or not.

Expected results:
If I click "Remember password" during account setup, it should actually remember my password.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Other information:
There is a workaround:

1. Create your IMAP account using regular "password" authentication.  Check the "Remember password" box.

2. The first time Evolution connects to the IMAP server, it will prompt you for your password.  Type it in and check the "Remember this password" box at the password prompt.

3. Go to account settings and change the authentication type to NTLM/SPA.

4. Evolution still remembers the password.
