I'll be,
Someone named mcrha on the gnome evolution irc thing had started helping me with something called "secret-tool"
I think its part of the gpg or gnome-keyring stuff or something. Anyway, he left before I figured out what to do with it but I messed with it and discovered it removes the password without causing evolution to choke.
All ran as normal user, it goes kind of as follows;
Code:
ls ~/.cache/evolution/sources
#then look in each of the results for the password you want to go away;
secret-tool lookup "e-source-uid" xxxxxxxxx.xxxxx.x@xxxxx
#when you find the one you want;
secret-tool clear "e-source-uid" xxxxxxxxx.xxxxx.x@xxxxx
And thats pretty much it. He did warn me and I'll pass it along, it shows all the passwords even if its one you are not supposed to know. In my case I already knew them all anyway so I wasn't breaking any confidence or such.
I have rebooted and the value-named folders that hold the passwords have not changed names. Not what I expected - not because of my knowledge - but because I'm not usually that lucky.
It should be trivial to cause the part needed, to run when Evolution closes. Especially if I don't even have to capture a new(different) value every time.
Thanks to all,
