Public bug reported:
On Heron after a very recent upgrade, in last 7 days.
Evolution was working fine and retrieving mail and sending mail. This
started going wrong after an upgrade and it repeatedly asked for my
password, an old one for ISP is stored elsewhere. I am guessing it is
old password, one character longer stored ages ago (months, and
months). Evolution was CONSTANTLY asking for password despite store
password being set.
I went into keyring and deleted the default password ring, leaving the
login one and it all works correctly. My 'location' was login before
deletion not default. This resolved the problem.
Worse was that the send function was totally broken. It constantly
retried sending with bad response I tracked with Camel on but did not
store logs sorry. Password was constantly being sent and sent wrong.
Evolution would not shutdown because it kept retrying all the time,
could only cancel. Password works correctly now default is deleted,
never asked for new password.
