Re: [Evolution] Installing evolution 3.12 in Ubuntu 14.04



Andre:

 

Thanks for the reply,  I did install the evolution provided by the distro but have trouble getting it to work with

suddenlink.  I set it for POP

 

POP (inbound)

IMAP (inbound)

Incoming Mail Server: pop.suddenlink.net
Incoming mail port: 110
Incoming mail port (SSL): 995

Incoming Mail Server: imap.suddenlink.net
Incoming mail port: 143
Incoming mail port (SSL): 993 

SMTP (outbound)

Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.suddenlink.net
                       Outgoing mail port: 25 or 587
                      
Outgoing mail port (SSL): 465

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

also tried IMAP it prompt for password but does not connect.  Thunderbird works.

I am running RoboLinux based on Debian in Oracle VM VirtualBox on a Dell Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

machine.  Outlook 2007 is running in windows and works fine but I am planning to change to

Linux and want to use Evolution email, calendar, task and memo.

 

I am checking everything out before I switch.

 

Any thoughts on what I might be doing wrong?

 

 

 

 

 

Have a great day.

Hi,

So you downloaded a *source code* tarball of Evolution (and source code needs to get compiled first to be executed as a program).

And just for the records, 3.12.4 is the latest stable Evolution version.

If you really want to do this and know what you are doing:

But if you have never compiled and installed source code tarballs and their dependencies, then this is nothing to recommend.

 

Instead, take the pre-compiled package provided by your distribution and install that one.
