Nup. The problem is that pop only has one error, -ERR. It uses the same for bad password and everything else. We assume that if we get it the first time connecting its probably a bad password, but as you can see, mail servers use it for other purposes, like they're busy or something. > My e-mail password doesn't change, evolution should be able to have a > setting to ignore that error and just try again later.
