Not at all clear on what happened. I haven't downloaded my mail from gmail into Evolution for a couple of days, and today I changed my gmail password. Even though I told Evolution to forget my passwords and had to reenter them, I am unable to receive any email from the server. I get a quick "retrieving Pop summary" and then the window vanishes and nothing gets downloaded.
When I try to send email, I get a window that says "Unable to authenticate to SMTP server" and a few other things.
I have triple-checked the password (couldn't get here if I didn't know it), so what else could be the problem? I swear I didn't change ANYTHING else.

Come to think of it, something did change. I have a DSL connection, and every time I turn off the machine, usually within five minutes my IP address winds up getting changed. This was never a problem before, so I'm stumped. Gmail has a fairly straightforward POP3 setup, with a pop server for receiving mail and an smtp server for sending mail.
