Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution
The 'Check for supported types' button in the network configuration tabs
in the account editor is supposed to ping the remote server and check
which authentication types are supported; however, if a connection could
not be made to the server, nothing is reported to the user and all
authentication types are marked as being supported.
At the very least unresolved hostnames, connection failures etc should
be reported (as otherwise the first the user realises that an incorrect
hostname has been typed in is later when they try to access their
email). Also, given that the drop-down is erroneously marked as
supporting all authentication types, there are potential security
implications.
This is with 2.22.3.1 on Heron.
