Hi Michael,

First, you will find as attachment the error messages displayed by
gnome-control-center and evolution (IMAP-ControlCenter.png and IMAP-
Evolution.png).

Then, yes, I could, inside the wayland session, launch seahorse and see
that my GOA smtp configuration was available. (see attachment IMAP-
SeahorseCredentials.png)

I had to reboot the computer to start a new "System X" session to
revert back to the expected behavior. Log out, switch to "System X",
log in again was not enough to fix this.

Regards 

Ludovic
