Ubuntu :: Thunderbird Sees Mails In IMAP-account / Evolution Doesn't
Apr 13, 2011
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.
An email was sent to my imap account 2 weeks ago. I just discovered that it's still sitting there unopened but for some reason Evolution doesn't retrieve it.I know it's still there because I can ssh in and run pine -- and there it is, still marked "N" in the INBOX.Evolution has been retrieving all my other emails with no apparent problems. Is there any way that I can "force" it to get this item, and do you have any idea as to why one particular email is being excluded when Evolution does Send/Receive?
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.
I'm looking for a method to sync my calendars on my IMAP server with both my Thunderbird/Lightning any my Blackberry. I found "IMAP Calendar Proxy" here recently, but it has been inactive for 5 years. I've seen people suggesting the use of services like Plaxo and such, but I don't like the idea of a third party messing with my calendars and contacts. Also, I've had to remove several viruses from computers with Plaxo, and I'm not sure if it in itself is a virus or not..... It certainly is a thorn in my side as is. This is for my personal IMAP server, so I'd prefer a free solution even if it is more difficult to install than a paid version. I mainly need it to just sync my calendar to my Blackberry and Thunderbird and couldn't care less about the contacts.
I've been Googling for things for quite some time now, and haven't really found anything that says that it will work with Blackberry and Thunderbird. They really only give a sense of maybe with nothing really defined. I can put on an Ubuntu server to sync everything? I don't want to leave my computer on all the time, and RIM has yet to come out with something decent to sync Blackberries and Thunderbird properly as far as I know.
I have a 9.04 server with postfix imap server. Clients (evolution 2) save sent items in local computer folder. How can I tell postfix to save sent mails in a sent items folder in users mailbox?
I want to know that by default do we need to configure SMTP and POP3/IMAP sever for sending and receiving mails in Linux server and client machines or we can directly send and receive mails without configuring these mail servers?
I have 5 mailboxes provided by my ISP, which I have been using since 2005 with IMAP.1 month ago my Thunderbird client under both 9.04 (desktop) and 9.10 (laptop) started refusing to delete any incoming mail in one of my mailboxes (but not in the other 4).
Error message: "(...) Mail server responded: System I/O Error" 1 week ago, same problem for another mailbox (but not for the other 3), again affecting both machines. Evolution does delete incoming mail on these 2 mailboxes, no issues at all. Have googled, found only one solution (imap folder corrupt), but nothing makes sense.
Using Thunderbird 3.0.6 under OpenSuse 11.2 worked without a problem. I have installed Opensuse 11.3 (freshly on a new partition) and I found that Thunderbird 3.0.6 is NOT connection with the same server. I used the old configuration (~/.thunderbird) from the 11.2 partition first to no avail, later remove the ~/.thunderbird link to make a clean start with Thunderbird, also to no avail.
I see some traffic coming on the server from my new 11.3 machine, but the courier IMAP server doe not respond at all.
So, same configuration, same Thunderbird version, difference is only 11.3 versus 11.2.
I now returned to 11.2 back again without any changes.
I searched in forums but I couldnt solve my problem. I copy my pst files of outlook on windows then I completely remove windows and set up ubuntu. I made all my configuration on thunderbird. I can send and recieve mails but I could not import my old mails from outlook to thunderbird.
I've migrated a cPanel virtual server across to my Webmin server.It appears to have gone well, aside from one email account, which now cannot show its 'sent' folder in Outlook or Thunderbird. The same problem occurs in webmail.Thunderbird and webmail both advise looking at the error logs for the time and date of notification.My server is running Postfix and Dovecot.My questions are:1. Which log will likely contain information about the error and where can I find it?2. Is there a way I can verify that a mail account's folders or check that they aren't 'corrupted' in any way?
I have a free Hotmail account I still use off and on. Last time I checked, Hotmail's free service allows only POP access.I also have a desktop, laptop, and mail/file server. I'd like to view my email on both the desktop and laptop. The obvious problem is, with Hotmail's POP, the messages are downloaded and saved locally by whatever reader downloaded them.Obviously, I can't change how the Hotmail servers operate. So, with the limitation that I can't touch those servers, is anyone familiar with a method to masquerade the Hotmail account as IMAP?
I'm looking for as many ideas as I can get, but what I've considered trying is this:1. Create an email account on my local mail server2. Find a command-line utility that I can use with cron to pull the messages from Hotmail3. Store those messages in the created account above4. Configure my local mail server to handle IMAP for the created accoun5. Set up all my mail readers to use the created account for incoming mail instead of connecting directly to Hotmail6. Set up all my mail readers to use the Hotmail servers for any outgoing mail related to for that account.I'm not sure step 2 will work like I imagine. I haven't looked yet to see what utilities are available. So, before I start messing with things, I wanted to see if anyone else had some better ideas.
Or, even better, if anyone knows of someone that has tackled this problem before and has a pre-packaged solution for me to look at or install.EDIT:I read somewhere that you can configure where Thunderbird stores its mail. That would be a simple, elegant solution by having all the mail readers save and read mail from the file server. But when I went looking for that option in Thunderbird, I didn't see it. So I was either looking in the wrong place, didn't realize it when I saw it, or I'm just dense.
It downloading today's mail again and agin whenever I click on GetMail Button. Its very difficult for me to configure thunderbird again as it will take a lot of time in downloading the older mails.
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.
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.
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 spent a little time searching google for this with no success, I'm pretty sure its a simple thing but I rather ask..I have Ubuntu server edition, postfix installed and running ( well he relay all outgoing mail to my another mail server ( provided by my web hosting company ) ) so it send all mails that come to user@localhost accounts.What I need now is some email client that would actually connect to that external mail server and download the messages to the ubuntu server for me to view.I need something like Mozilla Thunderbird but for command line.
Installed ubuntu stupidly on the same partition as win7 couldn't boot anymore ubuntu is it possible to access my evolution e-mails or even better to make my laptop boot ubuntu again tried already various rescue cd-s etc
I created three pop accounts in evolution. For jka-walgau.at my name, office and mobile. The first time everything ran ok (all new mails could be downloaded, and from each account mails could be send). After a day (iIset the computer up for a friend) there arent no new mails that come in (webinterface tells me there are new ones). SSL for pop and TLS for smtp were set. The problem is they are selfsigned certificates. The first time when I configured the accounts and clicked the button to test the authentication methods I got a warning (self signed) no button to add this cert permanently only a OK buttton and in the upper corner the (x) to close. How should I handle this problem.
I'm on a fresh Ubuntu 9.10 x86_64 install and I'm trying to configure Evolution to grab my email from Gmail using IMAP.
For receiving mail my server is set to imap.gmail.com:993 and my user name is ___@gmail.com
I'm using SSL and the authentication type is "Password"
If I click the "Check for supported types button, the "Please wait. Querying server for a list of supported authentication mechanisms." window pops up, but it never finishes.
When I try to sync my mail, evolution doesn't ask for my password, and the send and receive mail window displays my account as "Scanning folders in "IMAP server imap.gmail.com" indefinitely.
Running Evolution from the terminal doesn't seem to print any IMAP related errors only
I'm trying to set up my gmail account with Evolution. I am trying to set up a mail client where -
1) All the mails are stored locally, so that I can work offline. When I reconnect, the client (Evolution) syncs with the server - sends emails and updates any changes.
2) All the labels/folder system to be respected and retained.
After struggling with various sites that argued Pop3 and IMAP (numerous blogs and google searches), I came across this conclusion (pls correct them if they are wrong)-
1) Pop3 allows mails to be stored locally, but will not break them up into folders.
2) IMAP will allow the folder system, but will only store the headers of mail on the local server, and the content will be downloaded as per request.
1) Will Pop3 access allow syncing between the local version and the server version? For instance, a mail read in Evolution should be marked as read when I sign into the web-interface as well.(I can always create a filter/rule that replicates gmail filters)
2) Will IMAP allow me to store all mail locally (isn't this exactly what IMAP is not!)? The combination of imap-gmail-evolution was not so successful when I tried it out - too slow!
PS: I would prefer Evolution over Thunderbird so that I can integrate the Calendar. However, if ThunderBird is the easiest solution, then it's fine too...
From 2/3 days my evolution mail client is not working properly when i'm trying to send mail from it. In case mail receiving it has no problem but the problem is occurring when i'm trying to send mails with following error..Error: Welcome response error: Server busy, too many connectionsI'm using: Ubuntu 9.10, Evolution 2.28.1
I'm running Dovecot version dovecot-1.0.7 on CentOS 5.4. I'm trying to create subfolders and I can't. I've tried Mac's mail application and Thunderbird; they both come up with an error, basically saying that the server doesn't support level one folders(subfolders). Squirrelmail can't create subfolders neither. I did some reading and thought that perhaps the problem lies in the /etc/dovecot.conf file; specifically with the "mail_location" directive. I currently don't have that directive active which means Dovecot uses defaults settings: saving users' mail in the %u/mail folder. Is there any way to configure Dovecot to use subfolders?
I'd like to configure Evolution (or Thunderbird) to delete Gmail messages. When I select messages and hit "Delete", the messages go to my local trash and they loose their Inbox label in Gmail. I would like that in Gmail, they loose their Inbox label and go to [Gmail]/Trash so that they'll be deleted after a month. Could I configure the "delete" key of my keyboard to move msg to [Gmail]/Trash ? Could I configure another key to move msg to [Gmail]/Trash ?
What other solution ? Because moving to the trash is not convenient, it takes a lot of time without a key shortcut.
I setup a qmail on a Debian 5 Lenny server with courier-imap server. I can send mails but cannot receive mails. I altered /etc/init.d/qmail as follows.
I have a problem with the evolution mail client. I have created a privat PGP key. Now I'd like to attach my puplic key to a E-Mail in order xchange the puplic keys with friends.I'm not able to find a option like "attach my privat key".I also wasn't able to find a solution by searching the web
I have used Evolution for 5 years with no problems but it really makes a mess now. It keeps on copying or moving already sent messages to my Outbox, hence it keeps on sending mails again and again (and again).Is there a bug I should fix?Is there a (better) alternative for evolution?
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
