not working

evolution-3.2.0-1.fc16.x86_64
evolution-data-server-3.2.0-1.fc16.x86_64

I cannot create an account for myself in Evolution, using hadess@hadess.net as the email address. How do I complete the wizard?

Hopefully fixed in evolution 3.2.1

I think I've seen this before - It was awefully slow, but worked after waiting for quite a few seconds.
Comment 2 Bastien Nocera 2011-10-31 00:08:34 UTC 
I have the feeling this is due to this code trying to poke servers which are firewalled by the ISP that I used at the time (a mobile ISP that blocks a lot of ports, to avoid spammers using their 3G network).

I waited a good 5 minutes before filing this bug FWIW.

evo patch

for evolution;

I can reproduce this only when running 3.2.x and only when configuring account with "None" receiving option, which is preselected here. The 3.3.x has this done differently and works as expected.
Comment 5 Milan Crha 2011-11-30 18:05:01 UTC 
Workaround is to change server type from SMTP to sendmail and back, which will show options afterwards.

Created commit aebff18 in evo gnome-3-2 (3.2.3+)
Comment 6 Bastien Nocera 2011-11-30 18:28:51 UTC 
I just noticed that the "receiving email" page is completely skipped (flickers
through very quickly) when I clicked on the "next" button in the "identity"
page. Going back shows the "none" server type is selected.

1. launch evolution from a new account
2. Welcome page -> continue
3. Restore from backup -> continue
4. Required information ("Bastien Nocera" is already filled in as a name, enter
hadess@hadess.net as the e-mail address) -> continue
5. "receiving e-mail" flickers
6. empty "sending e-mail" page as per screenshot

This only seems to happen if I'm quick at typing my address in 4. If I wait for
20 seconds after filling in my address, "receiving e-mail" seems to show up.
Comment 7 Milan Crha 2011-12-05 10:54:15 UTC 
I cannot reproduce this, either I'm "too slow" or the above change influences this, though I doubt it a bit. I just typed the email address and clicked the Continue button with a mouse.
