My understanding is that the feature was disabled because of the problem that Gustavo had mentioned: previously, the keyring didn't unlock automatically at login, so if you saved your password, whenever you started evolution it would ask for the keyring password, thereby making saving the password less attractive.
Migrating would be nice, since even after the user would re-enter their passwords, the old unencrypted password file remains. This starts to seem like an upstream bug, and indeed, there are a couple of mentions of it I can find on gnome bugzilla: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=358872 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=271781 -- e-d-s should use gnome-keyring again https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/178544 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
