I have just reported a bug in the password manager as bug #1512083  I
think this is the problem at the root of the bug I have reported here.
The fact that is impossible to prevent the password manager from storing
the Google/Evolution password seems to be the cause.  I've reported it
as a Seahorse bug.

Title:
  Online address book can't be set up due to keyring request

Status in evolution package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I use Evolution only for the address-book.  I use it to sync my Google
  address book which has extensive information from my Android phone.
  There was no problem on 15.04, or on 15.10 up until the beta of early
  September.  My desktop PC and my laptop both operate the Evolution
  addressbook online just fine.  Both are up to date.

  A new installation on this computer as at the release date for Wily
  shows the problem.  I have set the online account to allow Evolution
  to access online data.  When I try to set Evolution up exactly as on
  the two previous installations, I cannot do so without allowing it to
  add the passwords to my personal keyring.  If I uncheck the 'add
  password to keyring' box, Evolution cannot be set up with any account
  data.

  I have spent a number of hours trying to find a workaround, bu so far
  with no success.  I assume this is an Evolution problem, but obviously
  Seahorse is invoked.
