Debian Multimedia :: Evolution IMAP Doesn't Work But Icedove Does
Apr 18, 2011
I am having trouble getting evolution to work properly with my imap server. It won't show any messages. Icedove works fine, though. I'd rather use evolution because of the calendar. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. The IMAP server is hosted by network solutions. I have screenshots of both clients. I've blacked out a few things for privacy.
Has anyone gotten evolution to work with gmail imap? Mine says it is connecting but it never downloads any messages nor does it give any errors. I'd sure like to make it work.
As the title says I have an IMAP-account and I want to use it via Evolution. I have the exact same settings on both Evolution and Thunderbird but only Thunderbird sees the mails (new/old), there are 139 messages.Evolution seen none. Nothing. I looked for IMAP-related problems concerning Evolution and one thread suggested something about Inbox-folder and it's location. I don't know if it's the solution, but I didn't find any luck trying different combos in Evolution's options.
I have had to revert my VM to a previous image (did something to screw it up) anyway I have to reinstall icedove into my VM and I noticed after doing: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install icedove that icedove can't seem to be found in the libraries anymore and simply wont install.
My system is Debian Jessie,KDM,the icedove version is 38.6.0.
I used the Theme Font &Size Changer 44.2 add-on to configure the mail list font size.
I have 2 users,the add-on only worked well on one user. For another user,it could installed, but didn't show on the main view and could not set font size either.
I'm using Debian stable wheezy and icedove 31.5.0.
I have many different accounts set up on my icedove and sometimes I don't remember on which account I received the specific email I'm looking for, so I would like to be able to search through all my folders (say, absolutely all folders: all accounts, inbox, sent, trash, drafts, etc...).
Neither the quick filter toolbar, nor the "Search message" (Ctrl-Shift-F) feature seem to allow this. Now that's where the brand new shining "Global Search" (Ctrl-K) feature should be useful. However it does not seem to support partial match. So for instance if I'm looking for someone named "Lebenhaus GrossGrabenstein" but only remember that his name contains "Gross", the search through global search will return no result.
I'm pretty sure it was possible to do a proper search (with partial matching) accross all mails in previous versions of icedove, but I cannot find it anymore.
Right now the only workaround I have is to do a "grep -R" on my ~/.icedove folder, which is not very efficient and not flexible at all...
I recently reduced my /home by shrinking the LV and creating a new FS on /home. By this I deleted all data in /home of course, which is no problem. Though when I start Icedove now, I can't get past the welcome screen.
There is an input field to search for a provider for a new free mail account and 2 more buttons to either use an existing account or skip the whole wizard.
No matter what I enter or what button I press, the welcome wizard window stays put. Nothing works. Clicking the buttons turns them dark for the moment but nothing happens.
I did a Code: Select alldpkg-reconfigure on the package, have removed Icedove with apt's purge option, deleted the cached installation .deb etc., did an autoclean and so on... but no way to get past this welcome wizard at the startup.
The only way to get out there is to kill the process.
Iceweasel and Icedove spontaneously crash, sometimes individually, sometimes together. Upon restart they will both run, but the amount of time they run before crashing again decreases with each crash. The way to extend use of these programs is to reboot Debian. (I typically run my computer 24/7 to run community service programs.)
How do I get these programs to run without spontaneously crashing?
This began after I deleted my gnome configuration files. I logged out, logged back in, and Firefox and Icedove autostarted like they are supposed to. Firefox asked me if I wanted it to be the default browser, (which it was before), and I indicated yes. Now, whenever I click links in Icedove, a new Firefox window (rather than a new tab) opens and loads my homepage instead of the correct website. I've tried changing my default browser and then changing it back with xfce settings; Icedove opens links in Firefox regardless of the default browser setting. I've tried various changes to the setting
/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http (and https) with gconf-editor: /opt/firefox/firefox-bin %s (this was the setting when I first opened gconf-editor) /opt/firefox/firefox-bin "%s" /opt/firefox/firefox-bin "%u" /opt/firefox/firefox-bin "%U"
None had any effect.I know that the urls in my e-mails are not the problem because the correct site loads when I copy and paste them.
Aptitude has upgraded Icedove to version 3.0.4 today on my squeeze-amd64 system. Debian's Enigmail package is conflicting with that version of Icedove, though, and won't install therefore. I can't install enigmail as an Icedove add-on either, because the add-on is telling me that the Icedove build type "Linux_x86_64-gcc3" ain't compatible with it.
I am recent convert from Arch GNU/Linux after deciding that it's free software or bust. I'm enamored by your project (free software + large user base + stable releases supported for many years = precious, one-of-a-kind distro) and hope I can soon start contributing.
Anyway, I'm on Debian 8.4 with MATE, only main repo enabled, all packages up-to-date. I turn on ibus (via a keyboard shortcut that runs "ibus-daemon -dx") when I need to type in Portuguese or Esperanto. When I'm done, I quit ibus either by right-clicking its tray icon and choosing "quit" or by using a keyboard shortcut to "killall ibus-daemon". Unfortunately, regardless of how I quit ibus, iceweasel and icedove crash every time ibus quits.
I tried running ibus with "ibus-daemon -d" instead of the above command. Now there are no crashes when I quit ibus BUT iceweasel and icedove ignore ibus altogether (i.e., I cannot type special characters--keyboard input is as if ibus were off).
How to start and stop ibus in a way that both a) causes it to work in all applications including iceweasel and icedove AND b) iceweasel and icedove don't crash when ibus quits?
I didn't leave much space for the / folder during installation of squeeze and now I can't seem to copy over old profile folder from a windows install of thunderbird. Any way to change the location of the profile folder?
http links in email on Icedove don't open in Icewease using LXDE:
network.protocol-handler.app.http & network.protocol-handler.app.https are both set to the default x-www-browser, which is pointed to icedove but nothing happens, any suggestions?
I'm trying out a Jessie install and have noticed VNC doesn't work as well as it used to. I often install a desktop environment on a headless machine, disable *dm, and use vnc4server to create a desktop session if I want to use a GUI. When I try to do the same on Jessie, I run into problems.
Using Gnome, all I get is the generic "Oops something went wrong" error. Looking at .xsession-errors, there are some errors that hint at the problem.

The same thing seems to happen with Cinnamon. Since I doubt a fix for the above issue will make it into Jessie, I tried XFCE. However, that doesn't work correctly either. When running XFCE via VNC something is misreporting the version of xrandr as 1.1 instead of 1.4. Since xfsettingsd appears to want version 1.2+, many things are broken.
This post on the Ubuntu forums suggests the issue might be fixed in xfsettingsd version 4.11: [URL] .....
Is there a better way of getting a remote desktop in Jessie that I'm overlooking?
I have installed VirtualBox and since then resuming from hibernation doesn't work again (my previous thread: [URL] ....). My question is: Can VirtualBox kernel modules (vboxpci, vboxnetadp, vboxnetflt, vboxdrv) break hibernation? If yes, what to do? Maybe unload them before hibernation, blacklist when resuming and load after resume? And how to do that with systemd? URL....
I installed the adobe plugin, and my browser crashes. I uninstalled it, and installed the one in the apt repository (mozilla-plugin-gnash) and it shows up in my about: plugins in iceweasel, but flash just doesn't play.
I'm running newest pidgin on sid and i have few problems. First of all notifications doesn't work (plugin is of course turned on), also even when i turn on blinking icon it's not blinking. Oh and why the tray icon is so small now?
I have problems with xrandr in a system with Nvidia GeForce 8600GT video card. I want to use xrandr to rotate the screen on the fly.
~:$ xrandr -q xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default Screen 0: minimum 320 x 175, current 1600 x 1200, maximum 1600 x 1200 default connected 1600x1200+0+0 0mm x 0mm 1600x1200 50.0* 1600x1024 51.0

I tried enable the last option, change values for xinerama and twinview, but nothing works.
Just as the title says: I installed iceweasel 6 in debian squeeze (via mozilla.debian.net) and while errors and requests are captured in the web console, I simply cannot use it to evaluate arbitrary javascript I type in it.
Does anyone have this problem as well? It's been like this since v5 as well. I already tried purging and reinstalling, as well as running with another profile.
I am using Evolution 2.28.3 with Fedora 12. If I go to preferences and try to add a signature or signature script the textbox goes from slightly blue to white but I can't enter any text or paste anything in it. I also noticed that it won't let be check the box for signature above previous message.
Ubuntu Natty amd64 italian.indicator applet for evolution doesn't work at all.No green color and counter(s) always 0 when new mail arrives.Also tried in guest session to have new configuration for evolution with no success.
I've tried installing both ibus-anthy and ibus-mozc in Jessie but I still cannot input Japanese.
By contrast, In Wheezy, when using anthy for example, I can see ibus preferences icon where I can configure ibus and anthy. This doesn't show up in Jessie.
I recently install a Debian 8.0 Jessie on a Laptop Dell latitude E6540 with gnome 3.14+3. But the problem is that it doesn't recongnize my multimedia buttons, I tried some methods but I didn't get results.
$showkey --keycodes volume up  -- 115 volume down -- 114 volume mute -- 113
[Code] ....
When I reassinged the keys on Settings>Keyboard>Shortcuts to F7, F8 and F9 it works, but when use the keys volume up, down and mute It doesn't show anything.
The same happens with Fn + Brightness keys, in this case it worked the first time but then stop to work I don't know why..
I've seen a bunch of other posts on this topic but they haven't solved my problem. I just installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.04. Love it so far. Except, I can't figure out how to setup my gmail account in Evolution so that I can see the emails on the server or download them locally. I had it working before both in 8.04 LTS and a flash drive install of UNR 9.10. I really can't figure out why it is so difficult this time.Gmail settings are/were already on IMAP - checked while logged in through browser.In Evolution, I've tried changing the account name, user name (for receiving mail), etc. and different combos of same settings. The receiving mail settings I'm using for IMAP authentication are password and save password. Security is set to SSL.Evolution tries to access the server but never asks for a password. Likely, because something is wrong with my settings. I just don't know what.
I am using Ubuntu 10.04.I always liked Evolution as a potential email client. I needed was for Evolution to automatically update the server (so if I mark a message as unread, it reflects at the server without having to wait for the 'synchronise every X minutes' to kick in).My email is with GMail. I understand Evolution implemented IMAP IDLE as of 2.30. So I tried this by using a PPA (ppa:jacob/evo230) to update. The update worked and I changed my email to IMAP+ and even checked the �Use idle if the server supports it�. But no auto sync occurs!
I just got a new Dell monitor (U2715H), and even with beta Nvidia driver (355.06) on Debian testing x86_64, it doesn't detect highest resolution (2560x1440) when connected over HDMI to Nvidia Geforce GT 620. I have an HDMI 2.0 compliant cable, and according to Dell reps, the monitor should support 2560x1440 over HDMI.
Some suggested using xrandr to set the video mode explicitly. I tried doing it, and first got a EDID file with nvidia-settings, and run edid-decode. Where is what I got there:
Code: Select allDetailed mode: Clock 241.500 MHz, 597 mm x 336 mm         2560 2608 2640 2720 hborder 0         1440 1443 1448 1481 vborder 0         +hsync -vsync
So I used those values to make a new mode in xrandr:
Code: Select allX Error of failed request:Â BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Â Major opcode of failed request:Â 140 (RANDR) Â Minor opcode of failed request:Â 18 (RRAddOutputMode) Â Serial number of failed request:Â 31 Â Current serial number in output stream:Â 32
not sure exactly when this broke, but for some reason I'm not able to use CTRL-ALT-F1 anymore to fall back to the first virtual console.I can kill X with CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE just fine, but I'd like to be able to get a normal shell to kill things when I've messed too much with graphical stuff.
After upgrading to gnome 2.28.2 and Nautilus 2.28.4, nautilus leaves text file(including .php .jave etc,.) icon blank while it works well with image and pdf files.
