Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution
Hi
this happens to me only with Yahoo pop3 account.
Sometimes Yahoo pop is "busy" thus it sends back an "ERR-[IN USE]
maildrop busy" message. Evolution wrongly thinks that the password
submission did not succeed and asks for the password again .
The real hassle here is that
1 - evolution forgets about the password I initially gave it
2 - it keeps on trying to connect thus holding any other account I have ( three
at the moment ) and makes the application unusable (application hungs) .
AFAIK when receiving such an error the behavior shall be the same of a timeout
...
I have experienced this problem both on Ubuntu ( 9.04 freshly installed
) and Debian lenny.
In case you need more detail, please let me know
TIA
Marco
