I tried it again, and it worked.
I must have had some other problem with the new setup, but when I saw the wrong username in the password dialog box, I thought it was evolution.
Thanks!

Hi,
Our ISP changed the way we connect to our POP accounts to get mail.
Previously I put the host name in the host name field, and my username in the username field. Evo would connect to the host, and then log in as [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The problem is that now the host name I connect to and the username I use have different host names. I have to connect to host 'mail.cansyswest.com' and login as '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. I can't get Evo to do this. If I put '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' as the username, then Evo connects to 'mail.cansyswest.com' (as it should), but then tries to log on as '[EMAIL PROTECTED]@mail.cansyswest.com'. It's appending the host name to my username, even tho' my username already has the right host name.
no no no... Evolution uses the username that you give it and the hostname that you give it verbatim. It does not change either one when logging into the POP server.
Ie. if you have the following settings:
User: fejj
Hostname: pop.host.com
the login sequence will look like this:
<connect to host 'pop.host.com'>
USER fejj
PASS <password>
if your settings are instead like this:
User: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hostname: pop.host.com
then the login sequence will look like this:
<connect to host 'pop.host.com'>
USER [EMAIL PROTECTED]
PASS <password>
the password prompt dialog *always* takes the shows the string: [EMAIL PROTECTED] even if $USER has an @ in it also.
Is there a way I can solve this, or am I screwed?
there's nothing to solve. it will already work if you input the correct values.
