Change settings of "receiving mail / authentication" from "secure password" to "plaintext password" 2. Click "ok". 3. Check that setting, it hasn't changed. Actual Results: The change of "receiving mail / authentication" setting is not saved from "secure password" to "plaintext password". Expected Results: The new setting should have been saved. Additional info: I tried to upgrade Evolution due the this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=139943
Thanks for this report. Are you still seeing this bug? If so, which version of evolution are you seeing it with? (IIRC the evolution-2.0.3-[12] packages appeared briefly in rawhide shortly after the release of FC3; an update to 2.0.4 is availavle for FC3, and FC4 eventually shipped with 2.2.*)
I cannot test this anymore. No MS exchange nor evolution in use anymore.
Thanks for the information. I think I know what the problem is, so if it's not fixed in the latest FC3 packages I might push an update for this for anyway... if I get time.
Closing as CURRENTRELEASE based on comment #2 and comment #3. Reporter can no longer test the reported problem, and it was believed to have been fixed in a Fedora Core 3 update. Feel free to re-open this bug if you still encounter the problem in Fedora Core 6 or later.
