evolution-exchange is not working for me. This is correct, please explain
what's wrong.

Yes I don't know but start getting an idea.

The issue is that I don't understand but the exchange plugin started
prompting me for keyring password after I switched to debian and changed
the password on the exchange server.
I've done this many times in the past in Suse and kubuntu with the same
system configuration. Of course packages differ.

I decided to raise a new bug, because it seems that the one similar to my
issue is related to previous version.

My only gnome experience is maybe 2y old. Then I had to sue gconf2 to
configure an application. I have more experience with gtk2 code, but no
idea of dbus, keyring and evolution, so I hope you will forgive me if I'm
doing something wrong, correct me and help me track the problem.

I doubt I'm the only one with that issue and if so I wonder why. I just want
to know how I can debug. I can not say I do not have experience in general
but in this subject I admit that I don't have.

I'll try to find out with what version it is working and see why it always
requires the keyring recently
