My problem was with an IMAP server (although I've had it with gmail as 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.
