try setting the environment variable CAMEL_VERBOSE_DEBUG to 1 and then running evolution. This will dump IMAP protocol spewage to stderr. Jeff On Fri, 2004-07-16 at 14:48 -0400, Paul Smith wrote:
Hi all; I'm using Evo 1.4.6 on a Debian sid box. I'm connecting to an Exchange 5.5 server using IMAP and normal password authentication (I've tried ntlm, which my server supports, but that doesn't work either). For the last year or so it's worked fine, but recently I upgraded to the above version of Evo and now I can't keep a connection to my server. Sometimes it works for a while, but most of the time when I try to log in I get an error "IMAP command failed: You do not have permission to log on." Of course, it's also possible that something changed on the server that I don't know about. After farting around with the configuration, or just being persistent, it seems to work and get a login, and continue to log in while it checks for new mail (I assume it's not connected all the time). Then a few hours later or the next morning I'll get a dialog saying that it couldn't connect, and it starts all over. The very bizarre thing is that I also use fetchmail to download one of my IMAP folders from the same account, leaving the other folders for Evo, and fetchmail connects every single time, no problems at all. I run it in daemon mode and it connects every 10 seconds (!) and downloads my mail. One other point to raise: I've found myself having to shutdown my work version of Evo (using evolution --force-shutdown), then start it up again with DISPLAY set to my system at home. I wonder if something is getting hosed when that happens? Basically, I don't know what to do next and I'm hoping someone can provide me with some debugging options or other pointers...? Is there a way to see the dialog with IMAP server when Evo tries to connect? That would be informative.
