Title:
  POP and SMTP transactions failed unexpectedly

Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evolution

  As from approximatively 2 weeks ago, there has been an issue with sending SMTP mails, especially those going through Yahoo account. Sometimes, it worked, sometimes not, without any change in between. Mails simply remained stuck in outbox.
  Until a few days ago, I could synchronize inbound mails with Yahoo mailbox (POP transactions). Since then, it became impossible.
  So now it is with both SMTP AND POP!
  Error messages (in a French environment):
  "impossible de se connecter au serveur POP pop.mail.yahoo.fr. Erreur lors de l'envoi du mot de passe. Saissez le mot de passe POP pour..." (that is: "Impossible connection to POP server pop.mail.yahoo.fr. Encountered issue while sending pass word. Key in POP password for...").
  Keying in again the current password did not change any thing (while I may access the mail box on line of course).
  And the same with SMTP.
  Then "Authentification impossible sur le serveur SMTP. La commande AUTH a échoué. relai brisé (pipe)" (tentative translation: "Impossible authentication to SMTP server. AUTH instruction failed. Broken "relay" (?) (pipe)"
  It seemed to happen following recent automated Ubuntu system updating.
  As a result, Evolution is just unusable for me at the moment.
  Notice it is NOT an Yahoo issue (nor due to corrupted/wrong password) since I tested synchronizing in/out mailbox through Thunderbird without any problem.
  Thanks in advance for any help.
  Set up : Ubuntu 10.10 amd64 (with latest updates) - Evolution 2.30.3-ubuntu 7.1
