Title:
Flurry of password requests make evolution unusable with down email
server
Status in The Evolution Mail & Calendaring Tool:
Expired
Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Binary package hint: evolution
Sometimes my ISP's email server is down/misconfigured for whatever
reason. When this happens evolution becomes unusable, popping up the
password dialog every 5 seconds. I'd like an option that allows me to
say, "my password is correct, the server is broken right now" rather
than pointlessly having to retype my password over and over.
Alternatively, the approach used in newer versions of GAIM could be
used, where a prominent (red) button is displayed in the main window
indicating a disconnection (but no dialog is popped up), clicking the
button brings up an appropriate prompt. Assuming that my email server
is going to be live 100% of the time is just not possible (especially
as I have multiple accounts).
Cheers,
