Description Matthew Cline 2013-05-30 04:12:51 UTC 
Evolution 3.6.3 was, when asked to fetch mail from pop.gmail.com, would freeze at the "waiting" part.  It seems this was because I didn't have the gnome-keyring package.  Before migrating from Mandriva One 2011.0 to Mageia 3, I had Evolution set up to use the keyring.  After migrating, I installed Evolution but hadn't installed the gnome-keyring package.  Installing that package fixed the problem.

Might be related to Bug 691065 and/or Bug 696115.

Evolution-Data-Server already requires libsecret to build, which is the client-side library.  I don't think there's any more we can do to ensure a suitable daemon is installed.
