Error sending username to pop3 server with pop3 account enabled for automatic mail checking

[rod singleton]

Binary package hint: evolution

I have 2 pop3 email accounts configured to automatically check email every 10 minutes. When Evolution starts I get this error message for each pop3 account prompting for the password.
"Unable to connect to POP server pop3.iprimus.com.au.
Error sending username:

Please enter the POP password for mypop3username on host pop3.iprimus.com.au"

If you cancel this message and click on the 'Send/Receive' button email is sent and received ok as I have tried sending test messages.

Sorry I should have mentioned that if I un-tick the check box which automatically checks email on any one of the pop3 accounts and manually send/receive Evolution works fine.

I can confirm that. Having read some forums in German, it seems that this also occurs when automatic checking of two or more accounts is set to the same intervall. It is rather annoying - I have to press cancel on startup for each mail account (5 at the moment), as this is the only way to get rid of the error messages.
