Description Heiko Adams 2011-11-09 18:53:12 UTC 
Description of problem:
It's impossible to reconfigure the automaticly created gmail-account to use POP3 instead of IMAP+. It seems to be reset to IMAP+ on every start of evolution

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
evolution-3.2.1-2.fc16.i686

How reproducible:
allways

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open evolution
2. open settings-dialog
3. reconfigure the automaticly created gmail-account to use pop3 for fetching mails
  
Actual results:
On next evolution start the automatic created gmail-account is set back to use IMAP+

Expected results:
Evolution should use POP3 to fetch mails from the gmail-account.

Why in the world would you prefer POP3 over IMAP for a GMail account?
Comment 2 Heiko Adams 2011-11-09 19:20:28 UTC 
One inbox etc for all of my account, a clear folder-tree etc
Comment 3 Heiko Adams 2011-11-09 19:23:42 UTC 
But at least it should be the users choice which protocol her prefers. I don't like it if my mail client wants to tell me which protocol I've to use.
