I've seen Evolution 3.12.1 occasionally lose the ability to connect to one of my mail servers (not always the same server, btw) after having been connected for a while. When this happens a dialog box appears asking me to re-enter my password. Unfortunately the dialog box grabs the X input, which prevents me from retrieving the password from my password manager, so I cancel the dialog box. After this point Evolution refuses to prompt again for the password; when I try to open a message on that server, I see log messages like this:
May 06 23:06:33 wot org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.Sources3[758]: AUTH (1394380512.4809.30@wot): Initiated May 06 23:06:33 wot org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.Sources3[758]: AUTH (1394380512.4809.30@wot): Complete (DISMISSED) The only workaround I've found is to restart Evolution, making sure that I have the password it needs ready to go. Toggling offline/online doesn't work, nor does disabling and re-enabling the relevant account. I'm using 3.12.1 on an Arch linux system, and Evolution appears to be using the Gnome keyring to save passwords. Whatever triggers the problem initially, it seems to me that Evolution is mishandling something about the authentication failure. I don't know what's caused the spontaneous authentication failures, but I can reproduce the symptoms by changing the password on an account and then toggling offline/online. I didn't see any obvious matches in bugzilla, so I'm inclined to create a new bug report...
