RH 8 uses a different evolution version than we do..
Anyway, could you try creating a different user and run evolution using this
user.. I haven't seen ANY bug report from people unable to get mail from
compuserve (or any other ISP ..)

description:
An existing Redhat 8.0 system, Evolution is working fine. /dev/hda5 is /,
/dev/hda7 is /home, both ext3.
Install Mandrake 9.1 rc2. Mount partitions as above, format /, leave /home
intact, including existing Evolution folders. Create same users, verify user
UID and GID are the same.
Evolution runs, shows all existing mail messages, folders, accounts, etc.
Try to get new mail. Evolution shows send/receive subdialog, no mail is fetched.
Dialog is presented:
"Unable to connect to POP server pop.compuserve.com.
Error sending password: -ERR Failed to open mailbox bwaldow.
Please enter the POP password for [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Enter the pop account password, repeat. Send/receive dialog displays for as
long as the user will wait. Canceling it provokes the dialog quoted above
again. Reboot, power off shutdown and restart, etc. all do not change the behavior.
Switch to backup hard disk with prior existing Redhat installation. Evolution
fetches mail without difficulty. Compuserve cannot be the problem, password is
good.
I will hold onto the Mandrake installation for a few days in case anyone has
questions I could answer from it. I'm novice/intermediate - be verbose asking
what you want to know. (But I am professional QA).
Cheers.
