What you can do is look at your backup too. I'm not sure, but it's possible that when evolution stores account settings in its backup, it stores the password too. > I just did this, before reading your current e-mail.

Even when Evolution is down, evolution-data-server keeps running, so it might be a good idea to shut it down too. It's not necessary for IMAP accounts, but maybe for exchange stuff it keeps the connection open or something like that.

If it was a default kubuntu install and then you installed evolution using aptitude, I'd say that gnome-keyring was pulled in. If it was an Ubuntu installation and then you installed KDE, it's completely sure that gnome-keyring was present (well, except if you manually removed it :) ) > I still have the drive with the > installation, so I may check this tomorrow, but it would be nice to know how > I can log more data. May I use debug (gdb)???? Hmhm I'm not sure gdb will be really helpful. Well, sure you can enter deep into evo/evo-exchange internals, but that would require some really good knowledge about its internals, which are quite complicated. Not to mention a good knowledge of gdb. If you don't have both, I guess it's worthless. Cheers, -- Yves-Alexis
