I too use this except I pop from my own server not gmail.
Every so often (couple of months) the keyring has issues and keeps
asking for the password etc.
This happens to all my users at the same time so its is clearly system
related and is after I update the server etc.
My only fix is to remove the keyring file and build a new one.
The good thing for me is the only entry in the keyring is login and
evolution so next restart enter password once and all fixed.
