      Hi,
Evolution uses glib's gio streams, which use gnutls in the background.
Evolution (or Camel from evolution-data-server, to be precise) used to
use NSS/NSPR for this (I'm always confused which is for what from these
two), but it's a long time ago. I sometimes also see odd behavior when
the connection is busy (not necessarily from my machine, just on my
local network), which I believe is due to the way the gio streams work
in some cases. Nonetheless, it's only my hypotheses, not anything I
could prove or even anything I investigated into the deepness.
      Bye,
      Milan

The problem e-mail accounts for me are twc (Times Warner Communications) which
throws a "string error"(already reported) and the one dealing with my
bellsouth.net account which is run through a Yahoo server.  Last night (US time)
the latter would keep asking for my password (on the Evolution side) but is
receiving fine this morning.  Since moving off Ubuntu 18.04 and Evolution 3.28,
attempts to send from that account get, "Cannot send message: service not
connected.”

I am moving my mail off the latter account as fast as I can.  I don't have
problems with my accounts through Arvixe and GoDaddy (both use cPanel).  It
appears that in the USA, the e-mail providers aiming at the residential market
give the most problems with Evolution.
