Comment 15 for bug 59632

I have been noticing a similar problem since the upgrade from Dapper to Edgy. Trying to contact my company's IMAP server always resulted in an "Unknown error", not even in "SSL negotiations failed". Refreshing folders etc. didn't work, not with TLS, not with SSL, not even with plaintext passwords (ugh).

Not until I tried restarting Evolution after selecting "SSL". Thank you, Fredrik -- it seems I too got fooled. This is an undesirable behaviour, by the way: Evolution should really apply the selected Security method when checking "for Supported [Auth] Types". Should I file a new bug for this issue?

The TLS problem remains, of course.
