I think there's a race condition between gnome-keyring and Evolution when using non-Gnome desktops. I've occasionally seen this (I also use KDE). See the thread starting at: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2020-February/msg00041.html I seem to trip it much less frequently now, but am not convinced that it has completely gone and have basically stopped looking into it. poc _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
