Description Milan Crha 2013-01-17 11:32:45 UTC 
This is a regression introduced in 3.6.x from the change in bug #337479. Basically, evolution used to forget password after any error till the fix for the mentioned bug, which landed in time of 2.32. After move to gcr prompts for 3.6.x this feature is gone, I usually reasked for my password with an empty box, which forces me to write it again, even I had it saved in keyring for sure, because it worked properly the previous run few minutes ago.

The password is forgotten even after any error, like temporary server outage, which is the most annoying thing and the reason of the bug #337479 fix.
