[Evolution] Evolution continues to ask for mail password

[M Hoskison <matt save9 co uk>]

Hi,

Recently, Evolution has started asking for the POP3 password before it does its regularly scheduled check, despite the "Remember this password" box being ticked. It throws up the "Please enter the POP password for (account) on (server)", which a blank password being presented. Entering the correct password enables that check, but the password is then promptly forgotten.

The prompt first appears within one minute of Evolution gaining focus, and continues every minute (my POP3 collection schedule) for about 5 or 6 minutes after Evolution loses focus.

It's seriously driving me nuts.

If all this is relevant ...
