Bug Description
OS: Ubuntu 13.04
Package: Evolution 3.6.4-0ubuntu1
Account: gmail imap
What happened:
i added my gmail account using evolution's wizard (which works very well, by the way). When i tried to send an email, however, i got an error message saying that the message can't be sent because there is no authentication available.
After a quick check in the account details I realized that the wizard does not check the "require passowrd" for outbound emails, which results in gmail refusing to send the message. Selecting the checkbox fixed the bug.
