Public bug reported: Binary package hint: evolution
Sometimes my ISP's email server is down/misconfigured for whatever reason. When this happens evolution becomes unusable, popping up the password dialog every 5 seconds. I'd like an option that allows me to say, "my password is correct, the server is broken right now" rather than pointlessly having to retype my password over and over. Alternatively, the approach used in newer versions of GAIM could be used, where a prominent (red) button is displayed in the main window indicating a disconnection (but no dialog is popped up), clicking the button brings up an appropriate prompt. Assuming that my email server is going to be live 100% of the time is just not possible (especially as I have multiple accounts).
