Description Alex L. Mauer 2009-11-28 22:45:13 UTC 
If there is an exchange account set up within evolution, then when evolution-alarm-notify starts, it tries to access the gnome-keyring in order to get appointment information from the exchange server. However, if the user hits denies this access (or uses "allow once”), it will continue asking, up to about 10 times, with a slightly different username format each time.

This is really annoying behaviour. This prompt should appear at most once. It would be preferable if it didn’t appear at all, especially if the password wasn’t actually stored in gnome-keyring in the first place.

Hi Alex! Sorry that nobody has taken a look at this report yet and given feedback.

Wondering if this is still an issue nowadays with GNOME 3's dialogs, and evolution-ews and evolution-mapi in place instead of evolution-exchange. 

Could you update this report if you find time?
Thanks in advance...

Closing as OBSOLETE per lack of response from reporter.

Please reopen if this still happens in 3.12.x or 3.10.x.
