What I did to produce the bug: Well actually just upgrade Heron. The situation was that I had an old password in the keyring named 'default' that evolution was picking up despite the fact that the 'login' keyring was the default (confused stay with me). I had store password checked but it never stored the password permanently. Heron was installed from scratch some time ago and evolution has been working fine.
The behaviour I expected: I expected my 'correct' password to be picked up but failing that it is my guess that evolution was reading the password from 'default' keyring (which is should not) but storing the password in 'login' keyring (which it should). The wrong password was constantly being offered to my ISP tpg and I was then prompted for the new password with store option checked. I gave new password and retrieved my mail. If I hit send receive again It would offer wrong password to TPG, fail and ask me again. The major problem is that the wrong password was being offered on send. Constantly and I mean constantly! I traced the whole upload process with the camel variable and evolution was constantly offering the wrong password, even after I had typed in the upload password. It was doing this despite the fact that I cancelled the send. When I shutdown evolution it continued to offer the wrong password until I cancelled out evolution with a force quit.
