I would think it unlikely to be an error with the password, once your
set up and the password has been working then generally it would be some
other kind of error, most likely the server and the best option is to
wait and try later. So shouldn't this be the default option for
evolution?

If evo gets an error put an error icon somewhere so you can manually run
send/receive and then you get the dialogue boxes.
