I upgraded my Mageia 8 to 9 this morning, intending to download
the upgrade software in its entirety and install a new Classic
version on new partitions. I failed to indicate that the download
should only be to disk, and once the upgrade started writing I
chose to let it run to completion rather than interrupt it.

The only major problem discovered so far is that when I
try to download my Evolution mail from aol to my main machine
upgraded, I am first told to enter my password (which works
at aol website and on my backup machine) and, and after
repeated failures I get a message claiming inability to
connect to the pop server, with
Error sending password: Broken pipe.

Has anyone else run into the problem?

Currently, I can still get my mail on my backup machine
and laptop. I am reluctant to make changes at the aol
website or change the password as I might lose that ability.

Any information or advice to pass on ?

Cheers!

See if points 8 or 10.1 at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GNOME/Evolution#Using_Evolution_Outside_Of_Gnome
help with it.

AOL has a special process to generate a password for
mail programs not among their usual MicroSloth and
Mac soft.
And they have recently revised their software that
is used to create that password. Upgrading from
Mageia 8 to Mageia 9 somehow invalidated the old
Evolution password on that machine (only), and the
new software at AOL would not create a new one.
I will be waiting a few days and then try again.
Until then, I will be reading my mail on the AOL
website.

Cheers!
