           Summary: Evolution fails to Check Supported Authentaction Types
                    if Use Secure Connection is set to Always
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: evolution
        AssignedTo: seb128 at ubuntu.com
        ReportedBy: pmcfarland at downeast.net
         QAContact: desktop-bugs at lists.ubuntu.com


Evolution will never return from Check For Supported Types* in the New Account
dialog for IMAP accounts if the user set Use Secure Connection to Always, and
the server doesn't support any secure connection types (ie, only supports
Passowrd authentication). 

Evolution should implicitly assume Whenever Possible when Checking For Supported
Types, and warn the user if the IMAP server supports no Secure Authentication
Types. (Should the option even be there? It looks redundant, the user always
wants to use Secure Authentication if available; if they don't, they can select
plaintext Password)

* Pressing cancel works, but Evolution won't tell you what types are supported.
