[Bug 86670] Re: Flurry of password requests make evolution unusable with down email server

2012-11-08 Thread phxphun1
It's Bck!  Along with 12.10 Quantal came a new version of
Evolution. While I've noticed a couple fixes/improvements, it is now
even more unstable than it had been, and this repeated prompting for
password makes it virtually unusable.

If anyone is still watching this in spite of it having been expired,
perhaps it can be re-opened (or a new bug report created? let me know).
Here is some more info that may or may not be pertinent:

   I use Evolution for a number of email accounts on several different
servers, all POP/SMTP.

   Among my accounts are TWO Yahoo Mail accounts.

   This problem seems to only affect ONE of my two Yahoo accounts, and
none of the others.

   Sometimes once this has happened, it eventually gets a "TCP
connection refused by peer" error, followed by spontaneous and sudden
closure of Evolution upon next attempted mail fetch cycle.

By now any sane person would probably have changed email clients, but
Evolution has one feature I've not seen in another client: the ability
to call a shell script as a signature; I use this in conjunction with
fortune-mod to generate random taglines.

(speaking of signatures, that's become somewhat messed up in the latest
version, but that's fodder for another bug report)

2009-11-11 Thread gray
Hi

I am running 9.10 Ubuntu and have the same issue - tho I have side-
stepped the need to remember the passwords by accessing seahorse,
selecting evolution application and ensuring that evolution has read-
only access in seahorse.

When a server wobbles I get a request for evolution to access seahorse,
which I deny.

Then the password dialogue pops up, with the correct password, which I
close with the "X" rather than any dialogue buttons. When I hit
send/receive again evolution works fine once more.

This happens at least once a day. But at least I don't need to remember
the passwords this way.

[Bug 86670] Re: Flurry of password requests make evolution unusable with down email server

2009-03-10 Thread gigglehurtz
I'm seeing the same problem with Evolution, but not in Ubuntu - I'm
using openSUSE 11.1 (x64). It seems to me that the connection to my
email at Bellsouth (4 accounts) times-out, and Evolution assumes that
the password is incorrect. Canceling and restarting Evolution does not
help, it just prompts me for the password for each account when it
restarts.

I upgraded from version 10.x fairly recently, and I never saw this until
the upgrade, although auto-checking for email on Bellsouth would
occasionally time-out. I would have to cancel, but I never had to re-
enter my password(s). I didn't upgrade my version of Evolution until the
OS upgrade. I am now on version 2.24.1.1. I can't tell you what version
I used in openSUSE 10.

I found this thread because re-entering passwords is a real pain and I
was hoping to find a fix, or at least find a way to configure Evolution
to keep the passwords.

reopening, and marking Triaged. I had opened a bug upstream, but did not
remember about this one here... so I am reopening.

What happens: on unspecified circumstances Evo receives an unexpected
response from the mail server. At this point it loses the gnome-keyring
password, and starts prompting for it.

On some occasions, this can percolate to other accounts, creating the
error described here. I will add the upstream bug watch.

LAST TESTED RELEASE: 
Evolution/E-D-S trunk 2.25.4 (not yet available on Ubuntu).

2008-11-22 Thread carpii
I can confirm this bug still exists, in Evolution 2.22.3.1 running on
KDE 3.5.10  (basically Kubuntu 8.04)

There are some important points which the other bug reporters didnt
mention. Heres my setup (and the accounts are checked in this order)...

2 gmail POP accounts
2 virgin.net POP accounts

Evolution will occasionally act as though gmail authentication has
failed. I dont know whether this is really a fault on GMails servers, or
a bug in Evolution, but I've never had this problem with any other email
client using the same setup of accounts, and same frequency of checking

There is a definite bug in Evolution though, in that whenever gmail
authentication appears to fail, both of my Virgin.net accounts start
prompting for a password too. At this point even though the passwords
entered are correct, the virgin.net password prompts will repeatedly
appear until Cancel is clicked.

As with the other users, at this point if I click Send and Receive, all
4 email accounts authenticate correctly, which is why I dont think its a
problem with GMail servers at all.

Crucially, this only ever happens when the email accounts are being checked 
automatically (ie, every 5 minutes.). 
I have never had this problem after manually clicking Send / Receive

I think my problem is also related to this bug.
If I leave evolution running all the time, when i get come from work I get the 
message 'Server unexpectedly disconnected: Unknown error" and asks for 
password. 

Evolution is set to remember the password, but I still have to re-enter
it.

I use gmail IMAP, and evloution 2.12.1 on Gutsy.

I still don't know how to reproduce it exactly, but it happens everyday
if I leave the client running.

2008-07-24 Thread Josh Adams
I can't figure out from reading the bug why it was closed.  I don't see
where information that was requested wasn't provided.  At any rate, this
shouldn't be a low importance bug - for people it happens to, and I know
it's at least 80% of the people I personally know who run ubuntu, it's a
major annoyance.  It's not only a problem with evolution - thunderbird
will do the same thing for the same IMAP providers.  Still, the fact
that GMail users (along with many other IMAP services) cannot reliably
use evolution for their mail is of greater importance than I see given
to it.

What information do you need?  This bug's plagued me for 2+ years and
makes the linux desktop experience suck much more than it needs to.  I'm
open source all the way, but it's embarrassing for people to see this on
my otherwise awesome machines.

Don't know about Hardy, but I can confirm this behaviour occurs with
Yahoo accounts too (Running Gutsy / Evolution 2.12.0). But seems to only
only when Evolution is first started. Click on Cancel for the POP
password request, stops the prompt all the time Evolution is kept open.
Stopping and restarting Evolution will invoke the repeating password
prompt (regardless on the number of times you try an enter the correct
password) until you click on cancel.

I'll see if this still occurs once I've upgraded to Hardy, but I won't
be doing this until after April 2008.

OK, it happened again with me. I get a dialog with the usual "retry or

dialog -- I then can immediately hit send/receive, and it works.

I did save a backtrace, and will try to go thru it -- or, next time, I
will debug it to zero in the correct point in the code.

This is Evo 2.11.92/E-D-S 1.11.92. Since 2.12/1.12 is being uploaded

I get it every two or three days, most of the times with gmail. Once
Evolution fails to open a session to gmail it keeps on sending out the
same pop-up (error connecting etc, retry or cancel) until I hit cancel.

One I hit cancel, I can do a new "Send/Receive" and it works.

First time I had it I kept clicking on retry until my finger hurt, then
I clicked on cancel. Every other time I just click on cancel.

I tried setting a trace on Evolution but, unfortunately, it did not
happen in the first 4 days (and created an enormous file :-). I will
keep on trying -- but today I forgot my laptop's power supply at home,
so...

Anyway, the point the reported wanted to get thru is that repeating the
same error pop-up over and over is counter productive. I agree with him.

I do not think a continuing server failure is always needed... all the
times this happened to me, I kept getting a failure until I canceled all
dialogs -- and, in extreme cases, restarted Evolution. Also, most of the
times this would happen with one single account -- the same, all the
times.

For me it looks more like Evolution is (sometimes) losing status
somewhere. I am keeping with running with camel debug set, in the hope I
will trap one such occurrence, and have something more tangible to look
at in the code.

well). I don't think evolution is broken per-se, I think the server was
genuinely (temporarily) rejecting my password for whatever reason but
'cancel' or 'OK' both brought back the dialog after a couple of seconds.
I'd like a 'quit bugging me' option (that takes account of the fact that
my email is checked automatically every minute or two and does something
smart -- like the 'disconnected' buttons in GAIM). Ideally, an
unobtrusive warning that mail hasn't been checked in a while, combined
with serving the offline cached version of my inbox.

[Bug 86670] Re: Flurry of password requests make evolution unusable with down email server

2007-02-21 Thread hggdh
Confirmed. I personally see this happening every so often with gmail.
Hitting OK will bring again the dialog (or pop up a new warning).
Hitting CANCEL will allow Evolution to gracefully recover from whatever
error, and enable it to log-in. I have seen it on POP only.

I will try to run Evolution with CAMEL_DEBUG=all, in the hope that I
will eventually trap one such error.
