I can't figure out from reading the bug why it was closed. I don't see where information that was requested wasn't provided. At any rate, this shouldn't be a low importance bug - for people it happens to, and I know it's at least 80% of the people I personally know who run ubuntu, it's a major annoyance. It's not only a problem with evolution - thunderbird will do the same thing for the same IMAP providers. Still, the fact that GMail users (along with many other IMAP services) cannot reliably use evolution for their mail is of greater importance than I see given to it.
What information do you need? This bug's plagued me for 2+ years and makes the linux desktop experience suck much more than it needs to. I'm open source all the way, but it's embarrassing for people to see this on my otherwise awesome machines. ** Changed in: evolution (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New -- Flurry of password requests make evolution unusable with down email server https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/86670 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
