I ended up doing a lot more work on this, which I then reported as Ubuntu bug #1519098, with an upstream Gnome bug report at: Gnome bug #758581 that you looked at earlier today. This bug can be closed now I have located the cause. I had tried to report this bug to the Evolution project team, not having used the Gnome bug reporting system until today. This bug needs closing.

I use it to sync my Google address book which has extensive information from my Android phone. There was no problem on 15.04, or on 15.10 up until the beta of early September. My desktop PC and my laptop both operate the Evolution addressbook online just fine. Both are up to date. A new installation on this computer as at the release date for Wily shows the problem. I have set the online account to allow Evolution to access online data. When I try to set Evolution up exactly as on the two previous installations, I cannot do so without allowing it to add the passwords to my personal keyring. If I uncheck the 'add password to keyring' box, Evolution cannot be set up with any account data. I have spent a number of hours trying to find a workaround, bu so far with no success. I assume this is an Evolution problem, but obviously Seahorse is invoked.
