Title:
The 'check for support types' button doesn't report errors
Status in The Evolution Mail & Calendaring Tool:
New
Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
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.
