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.

Hope this helps,  Ken
