Description Phil Sherman 2017-02-17 23:37:42 UTC 
Socket timeout when attempting to retrieve POP summary. Also appears to be the same timeout when entering the password for the first time for a new account.

This problem started at around 5pm on 2017/02/14 and shows up on two computers retrieving mail from six email accounts. Evolution retrieves mail from gmail and GoDaddy without problems.

Email is retrievable from a (Evolution failing) YAHOO account using Claws email, also available on these Fedora 25 systems. This eliminates any firewall/connection issues.
