I have an install of Debian using Evolution 1.4.5 which fetches mail from my pop mail account without difficulty. (I posted this query on the Evolution mailing list and someone asked if the pop account actually resolved, so please note - it works just fine.)
I also have an install of SuSE 9 (via ftp) using Evolution 1.4.4 which refuses to retrieve mail from the same account (I was thinking of switching). This is the error I receive: Unable to connect to POP server pop.compuserve.com. Error sending password: -ERR Failed to open mailbox bwaldow Please enter the POP password for [EMAIL PROTECTED] Re-entering the password repeats the above error message. The same settings work fine with Evolution 1.4.5 on Debian. I've gone directly into my account at Compuserve and verified I know the password. In the working setup, pop3 extensions are not disabled. In the failing (SuSE) one, either setting provokes the error dialog. I've removed and re-installed Evolution on SuSE. No difference. Any ideas? Google found several old and one new messages about this error, but I didn't find anything conclusive or applicable.
