I'm on 11.10 now and the bug is still present and has annoyed me for several Ubuntu versions.

The problem seems to occur when the mail server responds with some kind of error because it has a problem. I have 4 Evolution installations that use the same provider. When the mail service of my provider breaks down evolution starts to ask for passwords - maybe because my provider rejects my credentials due to some malfunction. If the service is back up however Evolution should try to use the original password again.
The password dialog should never open once a successful authentication has been established for the first time. There should only be a dialog to inform the user that the service can not be logged into right now.

Please finally fix this bug - thank you.
