Alright I bring good news. I browsed around suseforums.net and found this thread: http://www.suseforums.net/index.php?s=b2ef52a99292088a7667cefcf96dbdd6&showtopic=27931 which links to http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=evolution&m=116569225526404&w=2
Basically the fix for the issue is to install the package "pam_keyring." GDM is supposed to open the keyring at login, which isn't happening which is why manually opening the keyring works. So the KDE users here may need to switch from KDM to GDM after getting pam_keyring. From the other thread it said it was only a GDM fix, but if it works with KDM let us know here.
Getting the package and restarting GDM makes Evolution remember my password.
Also there's a Gnome bug report here http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=383861
I'm on Gnome and just installed pam_keyring and restarted. However when I log into Gnome via GDM I get prompted to unlock the keyring for gaim but when I start Evolution I am still prompted for the passwords. From the looks of it, when the keyring is unlocked it is not exporting the proper environment variables. Anyone else get it to work?
I guess the first time I restarted it didn't work properly but the second, third, fourth, fifth, & sixth time worked like a charm. Simply install pam_keyring, log out, hit ctrl+alt+backspace, when X restarts login and you should be all set. If it doesn't work the first time, repeat the previous steps. Thanks Craig. Probably the easiest way to fix this in the distribution would be to add a requirement to the RPM for evolution that requires "pam_keyring" to be installed.
