Re: [Evolution] can't authentificate on pop3 accounts

[Jeffrey Stedfast <fejj ximian com>]

Is the password given with the PASS command correct? It should be plain
text...

I'm wondering if maybe the POP daemon is expecting the password to be in
quotes (or perhaps hex encoded for all/part of the password?) since it
contains (perhaps) illegal chars?
I dunno, I'm just guessing here.

I can check the RFCs if the password is correct to see if we need to do
that.

If it's incorrect, then is it giving just random junk? is it giving a
password to one of your other pop accounts? is it chopping off part of
the correct password?
