gnome automatic login + mail-notification paswords

I use gnome automatic login (/etc/gdm/custom.conf AutomaticLoginEnable=true) and I use mail-notification with 3 mailboxes. The mailbox passwords are stored in a keyring. When I start the system, mail-notification asks for keyring password 3 times (to check the 3 mailboxes). I have seahorse installed as well and I enabled the option to open keyring when I log in, but nothing changed.
Is there any solution to avoid entering keyring password for all mailboxes?

Re: gnome automatic login + mail-notification paswords

You can have the keyring without a password (run seahorse, rightclick the respective keyring, change password).

The question is whether it is wise, especially with automatic login.

I'd like to enter the password, but only once, not for all my mailboxes. (Anyway, my whole system is luks encrypted, so automatic login is not an issue).
