Yes, it does break again if evolution needs to get a password.  If
evolution stores the password by checking the remember password box then
retrieving mail works.  To test this, I turned on the squid network
proxy, unchecked the box remember password and closed evolution and
restarted.  Evolution hung again with no password prompt and the 0%
complete messages.  I closed evolution, changed to direct network
connection, and restarted evolution.  Evolution started and retrieved
messages.  There was no password prompt because evolution got the
password from the keyring.  I repeated both tests this time removing all
keyrings in ~/.gnome2/keyrings each time.  The direct network connection
case prompted for the password.  The network proxy case did not prompt
for the password and hung again.

I don't know much about tcpdump but I tried what was in the 620260 bug
report.  port 110 did not give anything so I left off the port hoping it
would capture on all ports.  Here is what I ran and the results.


tcpdump -s0 -w evo_noproxy.pcap -nlei any
started evolution with no proxy then closed evolution

tcpdump -s0 -w evo_proxy.pcap -nlei any
started evolution with proxy then killed evolution

The squid proxy port is 3128.

Let me know if you want me to try anything else.
