Evolution doesn't store the passwords itself, it uses gnome-keyring
(via libsecret). If you are using a non-Gnome desktop then you need to
make sure that gnome-keyring is running. It usually gets started
automatically, but sometimes with non-Gnome desktops it can die and
libsecret keeps running with nowhere to store/retrieve passwords.

How to fix it?  Well often the most pragmatic approach is a reboot.
