I have just noted that this misbehavior leads to some other failures in talking to Y! mail.
After giving the password on "maildrop busy" ( varying number of times ) I get a different message : "+OK maildrop ready" ; this message is again interpreted as a password error ( please note the header +OK ) thus I am asked the password again. When I type in the password I then get this error : "-ERR command valid only in authorization state" which is interpreted as, again, a password issue while it is clear to me that the problem is that evolution and yahoo are not talking the same POP3 slang ... When I finally get tired of issuing my password and click cancel I can get back on working with evolution. I then manually try to fetch my email and ... voilà ! I am asked again for the password. This time, thou, the communication succeeds so evolution and Y! are talking again to each other. -- POP3 - evolution wrongly thinks password submission failed when maildrop busy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/433551 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evolution in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
