[Evolution-users] Longtime user on a difference computerruninginto a problem

[mike at netwright.net]

 Hi Milan.

I think I did what you asked and it is running as spawned from the CLI 
and it is NOT asking for a password.

It does ask repeatedly when launched form the GUI.

My typing PGP instead of GPG was a typo.

Anyway... Look at https://ndevor.netwright.net/evo.html


I'm not really comfortable with posting the keyring stuff, but as I 
don't have a clue... well you tell me if something looks wrong.


Thanks,
Mike
