Re: [Evolution] Evolution 1.4.6 losing connection to IMAP server

[Not Zed <notzed ximian com>]

Really depends on why the connection is dying, it just looks like network issues or something related.  If you run evolution from a terminal with CAMEL_VERBOSE_DEBUG=1 set in the environment you'll get some logs of the imap traffic to stdout, but it may not show anything more.

I don't know what woody is versus unstable, so i have no idea what version you were using before, 1.4.6 should be as good as any 1.4 version is though.  Was the server upgraded too?
