Bug Description
Binary package hint: evolution
I am using Ubuntu 8.04 and trying to receive mail on Evolution 2.22.3.1
When I click send receive it asks me for my password, which I enter but then it gives me the following message.
evolution - unable to connect to pop server pop.telus.net. Error sending password: -ERR invalid username or password
I have rechecked both my password and my username several times to make sure they are correct and I have double checked that I have setup the accounts correctly. I have set up a gmail account that works on evolution using the same password. There is no problem with outgoing mail on the telus smtp server.

that's an user question and not a bug, there is likely some authentification method required to use the server
