Yes, Iknow this and I was thinking to give it a try, but I'm really willing to track the problem down and to solve it.

The hypothesis is that it tries to store the PW in gconf but fails and then tries to store in gnome-keyring. I see evidence only for the second part. If I remove the gnome-keyring, then no password storage method is available and evolution behaves funny. >> >> how do I check this gconf thingie, or better should I ask what exactly >> should I check.

I don't see evidence for the hypothesis there, but as far as I know gconf is a dynamic config system, so may be I have to boot in the system. I did chroot for now When I try to reconfigure (upgrade etc) gconf related apps I always see some errors regarding scrollkeeper-omf files.

I hope it's fine now. I couldn't understand what exactly means "contact me if you have a ...." in some of the previous mails regards -- ____________________ o Emanoil Kotsev & penguin friendly o ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
