Description Paul Bransford 2008-10-22 21:37:38 UTC 
Evolution re-prompts for password when an IMAP connection is dropped with "Connection reset by peer."

This is not an authentication problem, so simply reconnecting using cached/saved passwords, instead of asking for credentials again, would make more sense?
