Description Carlos 2006-02-15 22:51:37 UTC
Please describe the problem:
If you create an account of a certain type (IE: IMAP) and later on you try to
change it to a different type (IE: Exchange Connector), after restarting the
application, the program tries to authenticate to the new server type (Exchange)
but it provides information from the old configuration (IMAP)

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create an IMAP user account and verify that is operational
2. Edit -> Preferences -> Mail Accounts -> Select the IMAP account -> click on
Edit -> click on Receiving Mail tab -> Change Server Type to Microsoft Exchange
-> enter other relevant information applicable to the Exchange server -> OK 
3. Restart Evolution


Actual results:
When you restart Evolution, the program prompts you to enter the password for
domain\username@<imap server information> instead of domain\user@<exchange
server information>

Expected results:
Once that the account type gets changed, the program should use the new server
information, not the old one

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Hi Carlos,
Can you please check again whether this issue still happens in Evolution 3.0.3
or 3.2.2 and update this report by adding a comment and changing the "Version"
field? Thanks a lot.

Closing this bug report as no updated information has been provided.

Please reopen this bug if the problem still occurs with a newer version of Evolution (currently this means: preferably version 3.2.x) and provide the information that was asked for in the previous comment.

Again thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed for the version that you originally used when reporting this problem.
