I am using Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon.
I know the default keyring automatically unlocks if there is no password set, or if the password is the same as the user login password. In effect, the Evolution client account whose password is linked to the keyring, automatically unlocks and stays unlocked once the client is opened.
However, according to GNOME wiki, “A keyring can be configured to be locked automatically after a period of inactivity.”
I do not know how to this. I want to do it in relation to the Evolution client, so that I am required to input a password after a period of inactivity (and/or upon closing the application). It does not matter whether I must use my email password, a keyring password, or my user password.
(Additionally:
Locking my account will prevent the client from notifying me, correct?
And even with the account locked, downloaded emails will remain accessible without unlocking the accounts, either through the client itself, or the home folder. Is it possible to encrypt/lock all emails within an unlocked OS?)
