Ubuntu :: Evolution No Longer Tries To Receive Mail ( Lucid )?
Mar 15, 2011
Since Feb 23-24, Evolution (2.28.3) no longer receives any e-mail. When I click send/receive, the usual dialog appears, but finishes real quick, with no messages downloaded. I know there are messages, and Evolution is in online mode. I have tried removing the "remember password" option on all accounts, but evo won't ask for a new password when I try to receive mail. I have tried to delete all accounts from within evolution, and create new ones, but no luck. All accounts are pop servers, and I have also tried turning pop3 extensions off.
Has anyone got any suggestions as to what is wrong here? I'll provide some log files, but will have to clean up usernames, servers etc.
I can't seem to track down. In Evolution, I am unable to receive mail. I tried every configuration method I know and still no success. I'm even tried using a hotmail and verizon account settings with no luck.
I am new to this forum and essentially new to Linux, (I used unix between 95 and 99) but the cobwebs are still very thick. I installed Ubuntu 10.10 on an extra PC. I have it pretty much as I would like it now, except for email. I am trying to use Evolution and it is sending mail fine. I cannot receive email. I believe this is because my DSL provider, Windstream.net, says they support only Outlook and Windows Live mail. I could be way off base, but it seems that it should be able to work. When I mentioned Linux, it basically shutdown their help. I have email through them on Windows 7 on another PC. Is there some way around this so I can use the email address xxxx@windstream.net ? Oh, they use pop3 and require authentication, which is what I have configured. I do not get any error messages, just never get the email. Perhaps another email package?
Using Ubuntu 11 and have just managed to get wireless working. It used to be a wired connection but when I moved needed to go wireless. Now for some reason the send/receive icon is faded and I can send or receive messages.
I hope someone can help me setting up receiving e-mail on my home server. Ubuntu Lucid and Zarafa from repository. Zarafa is running well. I can send e-mail via the relay smtp host from my ISP. But though the e-mail address should be correct I never see this e-mail appear in zarafa inbox.The e-mail reaches the server via an open 25 port forwarded to my server, but it seems postfix does not know how to handle it. Or is there something else going wrong here? Below are my settings. These are the settings I added or edited. the rest is Ubuntu Lucid (10.04) standard.
I am connected to the internet with a Rogers Rocket Stick, when I want to check my mail in Evolution the "send and receive" tab is not highlighted. It was working yesterday when I was connected through wireless why is that and how do I fix it ?
I installed Ubunto remix on a Netbook but I can not connect my Laptop with ubuntu to my Netbook with ubuntu, both these computers are connected on the network, it asked for the password to be able to connect on both computers but I cant get the two to communicate with each other .... yesterday when I still had windows xp on my Netbook I had no problem connecting the two computers ...
Evolution won't connect to our Exchange Server 2003. I have the Evolution-Exchange plugin installed and the Evolution vsn is 2.28.3. The Ubuntu vsn is 10.04 lucid. In the setup of the mail account I enter the user name in the form domainusername; in the OWA URL I enter the URL in the form - URL... and then I click the authenticate button (can't progress without authenticating). When requested I enter the password. Then comes the error message - could not connect to the server. Make sure the url is correct and try again.
I can connect to OWA using a browser. However I have to negotiate past the browser warning me that the server has a self generated certificate and not from a trusted authority. Maybe this is the problem, I don't know. The fact that I can get to OWA by means of a browser means that the firewall in our router is configured correctly, as is port forwarding to the server.The domain/exchange server is in our office and I have administrator rights.
I have wiped Windows and am running 10.04 exclusively. 32 bit, when setting up evolution e mail account i dont see where to enter password....where is it? anyone have link with screenshots? i know i can use regular hotmail but want to know how to use default ubuntu programs.
I still can't find a spot for password. options are, login, set preferences and a remember password checkbox but nowhere to enter a password
I set up my mail server using the guide here: [URL] I am able to receive mail, I can send mail locally, but I can't send to external addresses. This is in my mail.log: Quote: Jun 30 14:40:43 Server postfix/smtp[10725]: 2FD9322015BF: to=<myemail@gmail.com>, relay=none, delay=1634, delays=1484/0.02/150/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to alt4.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[74.125.65.27]:25: Connection timed out)
i basically had this system installed for our mail system.The setup is as follows:
1. Operating system installed is Debian ver. 5.0.3
2. Roundcube is installed as a webmail(if its right for me to say that)
3. The server is hosted right here at our offices
4.The server uses relay system to send mail i.e. relays all our mails to our ISP
That all i can say about the configurations becuase thats as much as i understand it.The problem now is that we are not able to send or recieve emails from both internal and external.I tried to send mail to a collegue in the office who is on our local LAN,Roundcube says sent successfully but the person does not recieve the mail.i tried to send to my yahoo address but nothing.I dont know where these mails have been trapped.
I have configured fetchmail, sendmail/postfix and mutt to act as a relay to receive mail. I can receive mail fine but I cannot send mail. Its working fine on my one box but on the one acting as a nat I am having issues. This is my mail log from the nat box.
I've been running the Evolution mail system under Fedora-15/KDE for about a month now, and it has some very serious problems. I just noticed that it is available for SUSE, and figured that since KDE is the principal desktop supported by KDE the SUSE version may be fixed. Before I go through the very tedious process of getting the SUSE version to compile on Fedora, I'd like to know whether anyone has seen these problems with the SUSE version of Evolution:It ignores font control from the KDE Settings->Applications Appearance window, both KDE font control and GTK+ font control, also its own internal font control window.
It has trouble sending messages to an SMTP server, sometimes taking a l-o-n-g time, sometimes timing out. This can be temporarily cured by restarting it It crashes when a filter attempts to refile an outgoing message. It often asks if I want to recover messages that have never been lost. It often locks up receiving mail from a remote POP3 server. I can live with these, except for items 1 and 2, since I have workarounds. If you are fairly sure that you have not seen these problems with the SUSE version of Evolution
I use Evolution mail and use 2 PCs When I send mail it saves it to my current PC but not to the other PC so instead i want it to save the sent to the email server i'm using.
I have set up postfix and dovecot as per the Ubuntu anual and appear to have a functioning mail server.Using the sendmail command I can send mail and I receive mail in ~/Maildir. Using Thunderbird I can read any mails received but I can't send any mail from Thunderbird. I have tried with both STARTTLS and SSL/TLS and whilst I get the prompt for a password I keep getting the message my password for my server is wrong.I have ports 25, 465, 587 and 993. Is that all the right ports?When I ping my domain name it resolves to my router name whereas I believe it should resolve to my IP. Could there be a problem with my host file? I've had a play but to no avail.Here's the error in mail.log.
on ubuntu 8.04 and evolution has stopped sending or receiving when click send/receive button. it flashes something but too fast to read. i have renamed mail folder but no go. i have checked settings but no go. i have reinstalled evoulution from synaptic but no go.
i think i have a corrupt file or something like that.
Is there a way to get Evolution to check mail and chat with a standard Yahoo (or Hotmail for that fact) account, without having to pay for the plus service?
Running Evolution 2.23.3.1 on a laptop with 8.04 installed. (Running 8.04 for good reasons - please don't query). I've been running perfectly for some time, but today when I booted up and opened Evolution to check my mail, the first sign of something odd was that it didn't ask me to unlock the keyring. Then I noticed that the send/receive was greyed out.
I rebooted several times with no change. I've clicked on Permissions in the File menu, but that doesn't then show any window, which is what I would expect, thinking that something has changed. Other than accepting all the usual update manager's recommended installs, nothing has changed on this laptop for several weeks.
I have tried setting up my hotmail account in evolution. I followed the steps from the following link: [URL] at the end it said click send receive, but the button is not enabled for me.
After running Pine remotely to view some mail on the server, I can no longer access those emails remotely with Evolution or Outlook Express. I know the mail is still there on the server someplace, because it still appears in Pine's "INBOX" folder. But that is clearly not the same as the "Inbox" folder for that account which appears in Evolution and Outlook Express, which is now empty. How can I configure Evolution to re-access those emails?
I have it config'd to send and receive on multiple accounts and they all receive email, but SMTP times out and even sends no matter what account I try to send with. I thought maybe security and dropped the firewall and still won't send. No matter which account I try to send to it says its timing out trying access I have no problems on my Mac so no network problems. For grins I install Thunderbird and setup one account and same thing received but no send. What could it be blocking outgoing email??? I have CentOS 5 with all available updates.
Clean install Ubuuntu 10.04 on SONY VAIO VGN-NS105N. I can't get either Evolution or Thunderbird programs to send or receive. I have Ubuntu 9.04 installed in another partition and everything works there. I carefully copied the setup from 9.04 to 10.04. Of course the Internet is connected, and "Network Tools" work as advertised. I am wondering if I am alone with this problem, or are there others?
in Lucid ive been trying to get the mail applet to light up green by sending myself mail. Does this applet only light up when IMs r received or does this also work with evolution and if so what might i have done wrong in evolution, ive tried it with evolution open and evolution closed.
Evolution Mail 2.22.3.1 - Debian Lenny 5.0.4I configured Evolution in my gmail account. I can send successfully emails to users but I cannot receive any emails
I was running Ubuntu 9.04, no problems. I did a new installation of 10.04 and could not send or receive mail (Thunderbird). Both would time out. tried two other mail programs to see if Thunderbird was the problem, but they did the same.So I did dual boot installation, with 9.04 and 10.04. The same: mail OK in 9.04 but not in 0.04. So that seemed to eliminate everything as a problem outside of my computer.One night I remembered that ipv6 could be a cause, and toggled it in Thunderbird. It has been an "almost". I can now receive but not send.For example, the bottom bar will say: "Connecting to smtp.edicionescc.com" and after a while time out.I can ping smtp.edicionescc.com with no problem
so I'm really new to using Linux, and I searched the forums, but most people seem to have trouble sending mail, not receiving it. When I send mail from the CLI, it gets delivered fine (from travis@travishoward.net) But when I try to reply or mail to the server, I get this message back:
Code: ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- <travis@travishoward.net> (reason: 554 5.7.1 <travis@travishoward.net>: Relay access denied)
I have a problem with the mailserver that i have. I uses a tutorial to install a Fedora 13 ISPconfig server. But the problem that i have is that i can't receive mail at the user that i made.
