Description Xander D Harkness 2004-10-10 16:13:38 UTC

Description of problem:
I set up a POP3 account on dovecot IMAP/POP3 mail server and every
time I collect mail it fails the password check twice, first failure is:
Unable to connect to POP server mail.harkness.co.uk.
Error sending password: SASL PLAIN

The second failure is:
Unable to connect to POP server mail.harkness.co.uk.
Error sending password: UIDL

Then on the third attempt the password succeeds.  

This happens on all password checks.

I have set up accounts on other RHEL3 machines and cannot replicate
this with this users account.  I have removed all settings and
restarted the gconf server (and machine).  Having entering the new
pop3 settings the password again fails.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
evolution-1.4.5-7

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Set up account for user on server
2.Check for pop3 mail
3.Errors checking mail twice
    

Actual Results:  Eevery time the user checks their mail it fails twice.

Expected Results:  It should check the mail without requesting a password.

Additional info:

Running evolution in a terminal I get the following output:
(evolution:3966): camel-pop3-provider-WARNING **: Bad server response: TOP
(evolution:3966): camel-pop3-provider-WARNING **: Bad server response:
