Description Paul Smith 2008-01-15 13:58:46 UTC
Please describe the problem:
I built 2.21.5 from SVN this morning.  After that, when I try Send/Receive mail, Evo pops up a dialog asking for my password for my POP (APOP) account.  I enter it, then the send/receive dialog goes away immediately.  No error dialog is shown, and no mail is downloaded (if I go to the server separately I can see that my account still has mail in it).

If I click Send/Receive mail again, I get the same behavior over again and still no mail is downloaded.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a POP account
2. Click Send/Receive mail
3. Enter password


Actual results:
No mail is downloaded.

Expected results:
Mail is downloaded.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Other information:
I have debugging enabled, and this is what I see:

Note I did NOT, of course, cancel the operation myself.
Comment 1 Srinivasa Ragavan 2008-01-16 06:30:20 UTC
Paul, just to know something. Is there anything that is shown on the status bar (error/info icon ?) I apparently introduced a bug, where few prompts are pushed to the status bar (sorry, it was one missed condition). If so, you can click the icon and answer the prompt.
Comment 2 Matthew Barnes 2008-01-16 17:36:57 UTC
This one's my fault.  I was giving the password dialog a face lift for bug #503400 and miswired the OK button such that it gets treated as a Cancel.  This is fixed now in E-D-S revision 8379.

I think Srini is going to push a point release for this.
Comment 3 Paul Smith 2008-01-16 17:43:06 UTC
Srini: I don't remember seeing anything but I'll have to check when I get home.

Matt: Ha!  Good bug!  :-)
