Thanks for the tip. I didn't know that the login password was reused for the keyring. I didn't have gnome-keyring-manager, but found the possibility to change the keyring password in "seahorse-preferences". It's called "Encryption and Keyrings" in the GNOME desktop preferences, which is a bit more useful name... -- Bye, Patrick Ohly -- patrick.o...@gmx.de http://www.estamos.de/ _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
