Hi,
I guess it's waiting for a response from one of the servers. It may
take around 90 seconds before the request times out (for each of the
requests - see below). Which exact server does not respond I do not
know. You might be able to get to the information when running
evolution under gdb, but I doubt it's Evolution's fault (after all, the
other accounts work as expected), thus it doesn't worth it to sped time
on it.
If you'd like to try it, then I can give you some commands to do so.
Or, you can verify my hypothesis when you run these commands:
$ wget
https://autoconfig.DOMAIN/mail/config-v1.1.xml\?emailaddress=EVOLUTIONUSER%40DOMAIN\&emailmd5=MD5
$ wget
http://autoconfig.DOMAIN/mail/config-v1.1.xml\?emailaddress=EVOLUTIONUSER%40DOMAIN\&emailmd5=MD5
$ wget
https://DOMAIN/.well-known/autoconfig/mail/config-v1.1.xml\?emailaddress=EVOLUTIONUSER%40DOMAIN\&emailmd5=MD5
$ wget
http://DOMAIN/.well-known/autoconfig/mail/config-v1.1.xml\?emailaddress=EVOLUTIONUSER%40DOMAIN\&emailmd5=MD5
where the DOMAIN is the domain part of the email address you used for
the account (being it "u...@example.com", the domain is "example.com")
and the "MD5" is the checksum value of "echo u...@example.com | md5sum".
Keep the "EVOLUTIONUSER" as is.
Evolution tries each of these four addresses, in this order, until any
hits the result. If the server doesn't react in a timely fashion on any
of these addresses, then that's the time spent on the lookup.
Bye,
Milan
