Comment 3 for bug 250993

The problem is really in the Evolution Setup Assistant (the wizard that is run the first time Evolution is started). In the "Receiving Email" dialog, clicking the "Check for Supported Types" does not even try to connect to the server (tried with all three of "No Encryption", "TLS Encryption" and "SSL Encryption"). In the "Sending Email" dialog of the Evolution Setup Assistant, it does connect though. Once Evolution is configured, going to Edit > Preferences > Mail Accounts > Edit > Receiving Email, it does work too. So, in my case, it seems to be related only to the Receiving Email dialog of the Evolution Setup Assistant. I guess it is a different bug than what was originally discussed here (results wrong when server is not reachable).
