There was definitely change on AOL side. I manually checked nooops_test3@aim.com mailbox, and there is note about change, which will begin after 7.11. Test stopped working 9.11.
Hi nooops_test3,

AOL is committed to protecting the privacy and security of our customers. This is why we're writing to inform you that your current third party email application is not using the latest, secure mail connection settings. In order to continue sending and receiving AOL Mail via your application, you must update your connection settings by November 7, 2017.

Please visit our help site for instructions on how to update your settings.

To avoid having to make changes in the future and to ensure you are using up-to-date security settings, we recommend that you download the AOL app or use mail.aol.com to send and receive your AOL Mail.

According to new AOL documentation port 993 should be used for connection, but our test use auto configuration based on domain aim.com. Auto configuration is downloaded from Gnome servers, but it still serves old data https://api.gnome.org/evolution/autoconfig/1.1/aim.com.
I compared(and manually tested) it with Mozilla Thunderbid https://autoconfig.thunderbird.net/v1.1/aim.com .
Mozilla runs fine and their data doesn't contain any reference to port 143.

Very cool investigation :) You could check for that error condition within the test and apply the settings "manually" with a "record_soft_failure"

I'm just thinking to switch it from AOL to Gmail to avoid this situation. It will use same autodiscovery, just for different domain. Or I can softfail AOL and add Gmail to have more smoke. What do you think?

Hm, I don't know which one will be more stable so at best I would in the test try one and if it fails try the second, if both fail, then fail the test.

Fix created and submitted https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/pull/3943
It tries configure aim.com, if it fails (hang on folder scanning), test will terminate evolution and try another email provider.

Upstream just fixed their bug and evolution_smoke works as before: http://10.100.12.105/tests/627#step/evolution_smoke/12

But I don't want throw away fix which I did, because it is failover for not responding AOL anyway.
I will just change soft-failure message to contain network error.
Or should I cancel my pull/merge requests?
