Bug#1110087: evolution: fails to forget password on close, and logout

[Richard Betham]

Dear Maintainers

I ave found the solution.

When my computer, running Evolution version 3.46.4-2, puts a dialogue
box to ask for my password, the dialogue box has a tick box about
"keyring".
I failed to understand the meaning of this.
It was ticked by default.
I have now unticked it, and so my computer seems to forget my password
when I close Evolution.

I have now worked it out, so that solves the problem for me.

However, when I clicked on "Help" in the menu, and then did a search
for "password", I did not find the answer to the problem.

Maybe the "Help" or the documentation could be improved.

Thank you very much for your attention.

with best regards from
Richard Betham
