Re: [Evolution] Unable to retrieve mail after upgrade to XD2

[Not Zed <notzed ximian com>]

We've seen this before, it is the pop server at fault, the server will
return an truncated response to a CAPA query after login.  Its
apparently been tested with a manual telnet, so its not our io layer at
fault.  The pop protocol is pretty simple, so if evolution detects
corruption it drops the connection.  Maybe it should just dump out the
offending line/treat it as an error response.

Still ... nobody has ever reported this problem hanging before, or
crashing, it just wont get their mail.

Could you run it in gdb and get a backtrace of when it hangs as well as
when it crashes.  And submit bugs on bugzilla.ximian.com under
evolution/mail.

There is a patch that didn't make 1.4 that lets the user override this
behaviour, but since your symptoms are also different it could be
another issue.  There is no other workaround at present.
