I was about to say, when I see weird stuff like that on mail systems, I
try ye ol' manual POP session via telnet to see what's what (Evolution's
error messages can be cryptic):
# telnet pop.broadband.rogers.com 110
+OK (sign-on messages appear)
user billlinux
+OK (some message about password)
pass (your password)
+OK (messages regarding "Mailbox open, xx messages)
quit
+OK (signoff messages)
Stuff from the server is prefixed with a "+" sign and the messages will
vary depending on the pop server. Example with one of mine:
[root at prophead ~]# telnet pop-01-001.root-mail.com 110
Trying 64.7.195.100...
Connected to pop-01-001.root-mail.com (64.7.195.100).
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK POP3 pop-01-001.root-mail.com v2003.83 server ready
user rps2
+OK User name accepted, password please
pass **************
+OK Mailbox open, 3 messages
quit
+OK Sayonara
Connection closed by foreign host.
IMAP isn't that much more difficult to test.
