Description Byron Hawkins 2013-10-06 15:40:55 UTC 
When I restart my machine, Evolution asks for my imap server password the first time I open it. The password should be remembered.

Additionally, the password dialog is system modal! This makes it impossible for me to reach my password manager to get the password. The only workaround is to cancel the password prompt and then kill Evolution from a shell, because it will not respond to the close button.
