evolution isn' t able to use GMAIL, no POP3 access

[Neil Brown]

Binary package hint: evolution

There is the following error in using evolution with GMAIL:

Fehler beim Übermitteln des Passworts: -ERR [AUTH] Username and password not accepted.

The access via SMTP is O.K.

It is required to disable Secure Authentication, but there is no possibility to do this for POP3.
