I suspect it's a "key ring" issue - rather than saving passwords inside programs they often outsource to an external program dedicated to the task. does typing the following at the command line ps -elf | grep gnome-keyring-daemon show "gnome-keyring-daemon" running? Maybe you need to install it? S On Wed, 11 Mar 2026 at 23:49, Bev Nicolson <lumos@gmx.co.uk> wrote:

Right, so here goes.
1. Anyone know how to stop Evolution repeatedly asking for password authentication? I tried typing in my passwords. Didn't work. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Didn't work. Which brings me to my puzzle.
2. I can, in theory, install Evolution from the Flatpak, but it will not show up in the main menu. I have googled (actually DuckDuckGo) for a workaround and can't make head or tail of the advice.
Bev.
P.S. (Sorry if you get this twice. I hoped I'd sent the first as plain text but hadn't.)
