Seems you are right about gnome-keyring. I uninstalled (see attachment) . It 
works without the keyring complaining about the absence of the daemon.

I didn't find anithing password related to evolution in the gconf data with 
the gconf dump.

May be gconf is storing the location where evolution stores the password. I 
think it is .evolution/exchange. Which could explain why after removing this 
directory and creating the account again I was  able to login again.

I just did this, before reading your current e-mail. With the keyring it was 
easier. Though I should run evolution --force-shutdown, start again and 
reconnect to the server.
Without the keyring installed and running it doesn't want to connect to the 
server every time. Sometime it quits after I press the quit button, sometimes 
it doesn't. Running --force-shutdown and starting again solves the problem 
after few tries.

Very bizarre

May be you have to write in each mail at the end, because as I just read it  I 
noticed it's missing from cc :-)

thanks again for the attention to this issue. I think we can turn down the 
priority to something  like "occurring from time to time with possible 
workaround provided" as I think removing the exchange directory in .evolution 
and the exchange configuration and recreating after this solved the problem 
for me.
I still think it works better with the keyring, what makes me think that may 
be the evo-exchange routines handling the keyring password are working better 
then the routines which handle the other way to store passwords

Hm, strange how it was working in kubuntu. 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)????

regards
