I'm seeing the same problem with Evolution, but not in Ubuntu - I'm using openSUSE 11.1 (x64). It seems to me that the connection to my email at Bellsouth (4 accounts) times-out, and Evolution assumes that the password is incorrect. Canceling and restarting Evolution does not help, it just prompts me for the password for each account when it restarts.
I upgraded from version 10.x fairly recently, and I never saw this until the upgrade, although auto-checking for email on Bellsouth would occasionally time-out. I would have to cancel, but I never had to re- enter my password(s). I didn't upgrade my version of Evolution until the OS upgrade. I am now on version 2.24.1.1. I can't tell you what version I used in openSUSE 10. I found this thread because re-entering passwords is a real pain and I was hoping to find a fix, or at least find a way to configure Evolution to keep the passwords. -- Flurry of password requests make evolution unusable with down email server https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/86670 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
