Evidence? I've been on this list for a decade. The issues with Ubuntu for the last couple of years are pretty clear. What is technically broken there? How should I know?! I don't use it. I use openSUSE all day every day - I do not see these issues. > OP, I have a problem like yours dt a very flaky mail server (Microsoft > provided) which occasionally and without good reason locks me out with > an erroneous message that my password is wrong.

Does it matter if you change the check-for-new mail interval? Perhaps there is actually a rate-limit issue. > I found the solution to be to cut Evo out of the mail collecting > business.
