Fedora :: Evolution Won't Remember Hotmail Password (or Send Emails)
Dec 4, 2010
I'm running Evolution 2.30.3 on fc13.x64 and I've been getting a funny problem for a while, that now really annoys me:
even if the settings for my hotmail account are correct, Evolution will ask for the password every time I log in. Also, since I keep it open, after a while (~30 minutes) it "forgets" somehow the password and asks for the password again. This time, anyway, it won't work and I have to reset Evolution again.
Bonus question: even if hotmail is configured correctly for receiving and sending (smtp.live.com etc.), it won't send email, but will remain stuck on "sending".

Evolution works fine for receiving mail, but I cant send anything.When i hit "send/receive" itll receive but ask for smtp password every single time. My understanding is that the password is your email password, but it wont accept it.

The only time I have a problem with Fedora 12 is that Hotmail crashes when scrolling through emails.

I'm writing a script that will send an alert email given certain conditions. I have the impression that sendmail is what I need to do that. I just don't know how to use sendmail at all. I assume I have to set it up like a typical mail client so that it has a mail server to log into to send from.
I've looked through the man pages, but I can't find anything in plain English there on how to set it up, or how to use it once it is set up.

I have Evolution set up to monitor three GMAIL and five AOL email accounts. On all of them I have the servers set up correctly and all the right settings to check email 65-75% of the time. But for some reason, even though I have the "Remember this password" box checked for all of my AOL accounts, it will ask me over and over and over and over and over and over again for the passwords for all of my AOL accounts. The GMAIL accounts seem to work flawlessly.
I know that I have the correct passwords because I am cutting and pasting from a text file with known working passwords. And sometimes it will accept the passwords and everything is happy. But other times (like tonight) I can put in the passwords six or seven times for each account and it still gets all pissy. I can close and reopen evolution and re-enter the passwords and it still sits there in a seemingly endless loop of asking for the password.
Is there anyway to convince it to remember my passwords and NOT ask me for them again? I don't care if it writes an entry to a log file saying that logging into the server failed. I don't care if it flashes a little light or plays an annoying chime or something everytime it fails. But I swear I am an inch away from putting my fist through my monitor if it keeps popping up the g.d. dialog asking for my passwords every six seconds! I would switch back to Thunderbird in a heartbeat if the mailbox formats were compatible.

i'm using CentOS 5 (final), & i have a domain used to send commercial emails to a lot of emails in hotmail & other companies,,his daily messages about 200,000 message i told him to not sent above 500 hundred message each time, to not get junked or blocked from hotmail, as there policy doesnt allow more that 500 simultanous connections each time, & wait about 15 minutes between each time,, trying to not get junked ,,
but also the mail server IP get junked, so i changed the mail server IP my question now is there any guides or steps to follow when sending emails to hotmail ?? my customer is working in a commercial field, so this means that his job depends on sending emails ,,

I know there are Linux email clients but I like Hotmail. I upgraded to Karmic and I'm very happy with it. The only issue I have found is I can't get the unread email to have bold text. I've tried downloading a number of fonts but no deal. Anyone know the font package I need to make this work?

First thing I will say is I am new this site and computers in general. I have pc and am running back track 4. Today the computer shut off, maybe an over heat. I restarted it and it turned off again even before the reboot finished. I put an additional cooling fan in front of the air intake and the computer is staying on but now will not open the emails in the my hot mail account. It seems to open the account, I can see what is in my in box just can not open them. Moving the curser over the unopened email usually made what is in task bar at the bottom of the page change. As of now it continues to say "Done" in stead of showing a task. Moving the curser over other things on the same page will make the task bar say "javascript" only.

i've got Evolution as an email client in Fedora 12.ve got only one IMAP account configured, which seems to be working OK. However, temporarily it is not sending emails. I write an email and hit send/receive and get error. "Error while sending message" ir seems that it is downloading messages, but not sending. There is a quick, but annoying solution to it: restart Evolution. As soon as it is restarted (close and ope the application) it is working OK for some time.

I have evolution set up to send emails using gmail's smtp server. I've always been able to do it with no problems, but a couple of days ago I stopped being able to send emails to gmail accounts. I can send emails to other addresses but not gmail. The same happens with my wife's laptop with ubuntu. The only thing I can think of is that we recently moved and thus changed ISP, but I don't see how that's preventing us to send mails specifically to gmail accounts...

I 've got an hotmail (live-mail) account, that I'm using on my iPod with Microsoft Exchange. This is really working fine, so I was very happy when I read, that you can use this feature with Evolution Mail.
Now my Problem is, that the Settings I use on my iPod won't work with Evolution.
I think the Problem is the OWA URL cause whatever I do it can't connect to this Server.
I'll give you the Settings, that work on my iPod:
E-Mail: xxx@hotmail.de
Server: m.hotmail.com
User-Name: xxx@hotmail.de
Password: xxx
SSL: ON
Does anybody know the OWA URL of the Hotmail-Server or does every Account have one of it's own?

I have no idea and no understanding of the configuration of Evolution I mean you need to specify something called a "server" for sending and another separate one for receiving. What does this mean? I mean there are plenty of guides that tell you how to but majority of guides of no insight to help you understand what is going on. Also I don't know about you but I find it an incredibly shallow and not to mention fraught experience following guides that contain customized elements because I never know the specifications applicable to me. You can't always just copy and paste commands as sometimes variables are tailored to the instructor's situation.
What is a "server"? What are the servers involved in having an email client?"pop3.live.com" is specified by default. What is pop3?What should I specify as my server type? How do I find out?"SMTP" is specified by default as server type. What is SMTP?What is "inet daemon"? It is mentioned in some guides.What is "hotway"?"This will set the inet daemon to listen to incoming calls on port 2500, and forward the connection to the hotsmtp daemon. Now, save your file, exit gedit, and restart your inetd server using the following command" - what is "port 2500"? This is why Linux will never be able to compete with Windows. Think how easy it is to set up Outlook. It doesn't assume obscure knowledge of technical aspects.

I just synchronized my hotmail account with evolution and it works flawlessly, however every time I click send-receive it stars to download mail by mail (more than 10,000, so it takes a while) and it won't check if I got new messages until it is done. The first time it happened I thought it was a normal thing, and that evo won't scan ever again from my hotmail account. Does anyone know how to stop doing that?
I have another brief question, I would like to know if there's a way that when I read a message on evolution it will also mark as read the same message on my hotmail account.

im really impressed with the OS so far, exactly what i've been looking for. the install was a little rough, it hung up on "getting the time from the server" for almost 15 minutes even though i was connected to the internet. then for the first few bootups, the ubuntu boot screen was a box that only took up 1/4 of the screen. but that went away. anyway - im in now and its all looking good, but theres a few things i would like to be able to know how to do.
#1 - how do i set up evolution to access my hotmail account?
#2 - just noticed this while uploading an avatar to this site, the box that pops up that lets you browse your files - theres no view change? i have to click each individual picture to see what it is; can this be changed?
#3 - what is currently the best way to get an expose-like feature going in ubuntu?

Is it possible to have all my Hotmail folders be synched with my Evolution? (by default it is only synch-ing Inbox)
I've searched these forums and seen this question raised by many but no clear answer on it yet...

I just installed ubuntu for the first time today, and setup Evolution to check my email from my hotmail account. All went fine, I downloaded all my emails from the last 7 years but then when I actually logged in to my email account on hotmail.com all of my messages were gone and my inbox empty. I was hoping that it would downlaod a copy of my messages - I still want a copy in my hotmail inbox for backup just in case something happens to my computer. Anyway, so my question is there a way to put them back into my hotmail account? I know its not as though I have lost them forever, I just would like the last 7 years of important emails on there in just in case.

I can't get Evolution to send any sort of embedded image.I've tried in the body embedded images, signatures, multiple image formats, both the exchange connector and the mapi connector, etc without any luck. EVERY time, evolution strips out the IMG SRC tag contents. Before sending it, I can view the email and the embedded image shows up fine.

Im my office everyone uses Windows but I use Ubuntu (and I love it) for interaction with windows only apps I use a windows VM in virtual box but I use evolution for my emails as I think it runs far better than outlook could ever dream of running.
From time to time we have to save emails for proof of orders etc. As most of you may well know outlook saves emails in .msg format but evolution saves them in .mbox format. At the moment I am saving them in .txt so the windows users can read them in notepad. I really need to be able to save in .msg format though to ensure all the formatting remains and the other guys in the office can open them in outlook.
Is there a way for me to either 1. Save directly to .msg format from evolution or 2. convert .mbox to .msg after i have saved the email? Google is usually my friend and comes up with answers for me but on this occasion hasn't been any good.
If I don't find a work around for this I will have to revert to using Windows (which I really dont want to do).

I'm stuck with postfix. It cannot send emails and I cannot find out why! smtpPort 25/tcp is open. I can telnet localhost with 25, but not the localhosts IP(192.168.1.15). Sendmail is OFF. Here is the main.cf file!
# See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version
# Debian specific: Specifying a file name will cause the first
# line of that file to be used as the name. The Debian default

I hate to make a new thread for something that has probably already been solved, but searching through all the threads can be a challenge in itself.Every time I log in to Ubuntu 10.04 I am asked for the password to my Wi-Fi connection. About a week ago it was working fine, however after, I think, the second update Ubuntu was longer able to remember the password. Its not a major problem as I can access the Internet its just really inconvenient.
