Title:
  I can read evolution email but it now never authenticates the smtp
  password

Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evolution

  Hi,
  Version: Ubuntu 10.10.
  Evolution version: 2.30.3
  Email address: jeremy.thompson2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  Evolution worked perfectly for me for a few years.  However, I was
  adding another account such that I POP mail from one account and send
  mail via my own SMTP account.  The sending process asked me for a
  password.  I eventually realised it needed my own btyahoo PW.
  However, it never verified that password.

  I deleted the new account and re-entered my own account.  A friend also has Evolution, and my set up matches his.  
  From then on, I have been able to read emails no problem.  However, it no longer sends emails.  Doing a Send/Receive it keeps asking me for the PW.  I enter it but it always says "Unable to authenticate to SMTP server.  Bad authentication response from server".  Ie, it is totally reproducible.

  I tried setting up my account on my other boot (MS Vista / Thunderbird
  email client) and I could send and receive emails no problem.  Thus I
  have concluded it is a problem with Evolution itself, not my ISP.

  If I can, I will re-download Evolution from its host to see if that
  will work.

  I will respond if it works or if it doesn't.

  I apologise if it isn't a bug, but it is very frustrating:)

  Thank you.

  Jeremy Thompson.
