OK. Are we done with this?

As far as the reason this whole subject is concerned, it seems to have
been resolved by FM. 

Once I received POP via Evolution as launched by CLI and used my
password just once, and even with multiple shutdowns, the nagging
requested for my password I was experiencing when launching via the GUI
is no longer a thing of the past. 

The same is true for outbound SMTP. I am now running Evolution from a
icon on my KDE panel and there are no more password requests. 

I honestly see no reason to continue this thread. And, Patrick, this
was not a top-post. Though I, for one, FWIW, intensely dislike the
method of placing comments within the string as comments get buried and
lost in subsequent responses especially as the actual 'speaker' is
lost. I have seen many times when problems arise because of that very
thing.
