Description sacha 2006-12-24 09:36:58 UTC
Please describe the problem:
I've got a couple of email pop3 accounts configured in Evolution. Three of those accounts are on the same server. For some reason I can retrieve only 2 to 3 emails at a time from each of those accounts, after that the connection just times out after about 2 minutes. I don't have this problem with the mail account provided by my ISP and I don't have this problem when I use Thunderbird to retrieve mail from those accounts.This is really annoying as I receive a lot of spam so downloading all of my email can sometimes take 10 minutes or more.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Configure multiple pop3 accounts that are on the same server
2. Download your mail
3. Some of the mail will be downloaded but the connection times out after a while


Actual results:
Connection timeout

Expected results:
All mail is downloaded

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Other information:
Used to happen with previous versions of Evolution also.
