[Bug 86670] Re: Flurry of password requests make evolution unusable with down email server

[Shaun Crampton]

My problem was with an IMAP server (although I've had it with gmail as
well). I don't think evolution is broken per-se, I think the server was
genuinely (temporarily) rejecting my password for whatever reason but
'cancel' or 'OK' both brought back the dialog after a couple of seconds.
I'd like a 'quit bugging me' option (that takes account of the fact that
my email is checked automatically every minute or two and does something
smart -- like the 'disconnected' buttons in GAIM). Ideally, an
unobtrusive warning that mail hasn't been checked in a while, combined
with serving the offline cached version of my inbox.
