Re: [Evolution] Unable to retrieve mail after upgrade to XD2

["Robert Devi" <g2devi hotmail com>]

It seems to be the same bug. My ISP is using InterMail. I've added my extra 
GDB information to bugzilla.

For anyone following the issue, see bug 40788 on bugzilla.ximian.com.


BTW, I know that since the fix will require a change in behaviour, it'll 
take a while before the fix will pass QA and make it into the general 
distribution. So far, I've been using Kmail to download my mail and then 
evolution's "import" to read the mail into evolution. I don't mind helping 
out by gathering more information on the bug. However, I don't want to keep 
doing this for more than a few weeks. How easy is it to downgrade from 
evolution 1.4 to evolution 1.2 (either from Ximian or from RedHat 9.0)? What 
packages would I need to remove? Evolution 1.2 worked perfectly for me.
