[Evolution] Error sending password

[Charles (Ximian)]

Just off the wall but..

I had quirky problems with my POP3 servers, once I host filed the pop3
domains all my odd issues went away..

Most of my domains were on the same ip so I did this..

1.2.3.4 smtp-out  ximian-cl suse-cl novell-cl

so now my Incoming is ximian-cl and my outgoing is smtp-out.. Give that
a shot.. If anything, it makes your send.receive more informative as you
know what account is being checked, not just your server...
