I do not think a continuing server failure is always needed... all the times this happened to me, I kept getting a failure until I canceled all dialogs -- and, in extreme cases, restarted Evolution. Also, most of the times this would happen with one single account -- the same, all the times.
For me it looks more like Evolution is (sometimes) losing status somewhere. I am keeping with running with camel debug set, in the hope I will trap one such occurrence, and have something more tangible to look at in the code. -- Flurry of password requests make evolution unusable with down email server https://launchpad.net/bugs/86670 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
