Description Thomas Rosario 2008-06-30 04:01:12 UTC 
Step to reproduce:
Create any new mail account as usual but put a custom port in SMTP, IMAP or POP3 (e.g. smtp.yourserver.com:414). Do a send/receive all mails.

Expected result:
Account is created successfully and all mails are downloaded.

Actual result:
Since this case is run in Windows platform. When Evolution is trying to create a folder named 'server:port', it will fail straight away as Windows does not allow ':' character in a directory.
