Well is your problem still existing? Or did you fix it?
By the way are you using autologin? Because seems to force you to type in the keyring password, as it is normally unlocked by typing in your userpassword during login.

Dear Sir

I am Not using Autologin. I am using password for loging Ubuntu 9.04 alpha 4/5. Please note that after deleting the a file in Keyring folder, I have solved the problem for frequent request for passwords request for Keyring User Id and Password while loging to Evolution mail and Empathy Messenger. I don't know whether this method is correct. ( I solved my current problem by using the method mentioned in the link given here. i.e http://davestechsupport.com/blog/2009/01/16/how-to-remove-ubuntus-password-keyring/ ). Kindly go through the link provided here.

Sorry for the trouble.

Thanking you

Yours sincerely

What do you mean by correct? If it works as you wish it should be fine.
The way he describes is okay to avoid a master password for protecting your keyring. It doesn't harm any other system components or similar, if is that what you meant. Now your passwords are safed unencrypted on your computer, but that's it.

Hope that solved your question, if not don't hesitate to ask again.

Can you help with this problem?
