Re: [Evolution] Evolution not taking password

[matthew grossman <mattny bellsouth net>]

Found this article about apps not using OAuth needing a secret key associated with the email account, which is substituted for the email password inside Evolution.  Generated secret key under my ATT profile and Evolution is now working.
