[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

 Hello,I have been using Debian 10 now for about 6 months and all of a sudden Evolution will not allow me to login.I am getting a box while Evolution is starting and loading that says "Please enter the password for xxxxxxxx@xxx"an below is my user ID and the password as dots. I reenter the password(checked at to correctness). The box disappears but returns in 10-15 sec.I have logged in to my email account from my browser and user id and password are correct.Any suggestions as to what to try.

Evolution uses GNOME Online Accounts. Check that no error is reported in the "Online Accounts" category under "Settings" (assuming the GNOME desktop).

I have been to settings but found no errors. I removed the account and reentered it, no change. Still will not connect to internet.   ........?

Unfortunately I gave up on Gnome and it's family of gnomes many years ago.
But I recall this odd behavior from the past when I was checking the
progress of the Gnome desktop from time to time.

example from 2010
https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/461414-Cannot-Use-Evolution-because-of-Keyring-Password-in-gnome

Even if they come up with OnlineAccounts or whatever - honestly I do not
want to insult anybody, but why the waste of human time?

On the other hand to make the reader laugh I think it is probably good that
these developers are busy with breaking and repairing Gnome all the time,
so that they can not break anything else around :D

If you want a stable desktop you know there is one called Trinity Desktop
(TDE) - it just works. But upfront the Evolution monster will behave the
same if you insist using it :D

While attempting to find something calendar-like, I tried Evolution on
Xfce4 about a year ago. Installed it, gave it a shot for about 5 1/2
seconds, said pbbbbt(!), and threw it on a very far back burner.

My intentions are to try it again one day to attempt to figure out why
it didn't work. It's comforting to know it's not just me encountering
something usability related there.

:) thank you for sharing this. I can share the comforting.
I dropped Gnome into the basket around 2001 (now exactly 20y later it is
still in the basket)
Especially Evolution never kept the promise - no idea why gnomes are doing
this. IMO they like it and never learn from the mistakes. Another thing I
can imagine is that you can write a driver in C but not a GUI, but here
some people will object for sure ...
If someone has a good reading, it's welcome.
