Most annoying was that it would stick to a connection even after it was
enabled in settings.  If I went home from work but didn't disable my
Morrison IMAP account before shutting down I'd have to wait FOREVER for
it to give up trying to open it at start, change the settings to my IMAP
account at home, shut down evolution, killev, and restart evolution. 
The same going from work to home.  That is just ridiculous.

1.4 says Oh My!  I can't contact that IMAP server, OK, I'll stop
trying.  

And Action -> Cancel actually cancels! 

If I had multiple accounts enabled,  no matter what I picked as "From:"
when sending a message evo seemed to randomly pick an SMTP server
resulting in stupid Relaying Denied messages and messages stuck in
Outbox.  It won't just skip that message and process the rest of the
Outbox,  it would just stop sending messages.
