I have seen this same symptom many a time. After many days of running and successful connections to the servers, all of a sudden Evolution cannot make a connection. It's only conclusion is that the password that it has, that I NEVER changed is suddenly wrong. And that I MUST reenter them immediately. A quick cancel on the current op and x out of evolution. Come back a half hour later and the passwords are miraculously correct.
This is a red flag. My interpretation is that the connections went bad because the servers are down. Not because the passwords are bad.
