[Evolution] Evolution does not prompt for new password

[Stefan Rijnhart <mandrake kidsfromfame nl>]

Hi all,

There is a problem with my Evolution 2.0.3 on Mandrake 10.1 Official (upgrade 
from 10.0). My password has been reset for one of my accounts, but Evolution 
does not prompt me  to enter the new password.  Evolution just shows the 
"send & receive mail" dialogue, saying "waiting" for a few seconds, after 
which it disappears. Meanwhile, ethereal shows what happens:

Response: +OK POP3 server ready
Request: CAPA
Response: +OK Capability list follows
Request: USER myusername
Response: +OK User name accepted, password please
Requst: PASS myoldpassword
Respones: -ERR Bad login
Request: CAPA
Response: +OK Capability list follows
Request: LIST
Response: -ERR Unknown AUTHORIZATION state command
Request: UIDL
Response: -ERR Unknown AUTHORIZATION state command
Request: QUIT
Response: +OK Sayonara

Small relevant excerpt from CAMEL_DEBUG:

CamelException.setv(0x8a8a7f0, 304, 'Unable to connect to POP server 
mymailserver.
Error sending password: -ERR Bad login')
POP3_STREAM_WRITE(6):
LIST

Authentication type of the account is set to "password".

Does anyone know why Evolution drops the error? Is there a 
practical workaround for this? Note that I have already tried removing the 
account and re-adding it in the account settings.

Thank you for your help,

Stefan Rijnhart
