Ok Evolution just lost connection with the imap server. I hit "Send/Receive" and the receiving section of the pop-up box just sits there trying to connect to the imap server. The sending mail smtp server works fine.This is the error I get in the shell i was running evolution from using CAMEL_VERBOSE_DEBUG=1. (evolution: 21167): evolution-shell-WARNING **: EvolutionActivityClient: Unknown event from listener -- Clicked Killed This connection problem only arose since I upgraded my machine from woody (the stable version of Debian Linux) to sarge (the unstable version of Debian Linux). The upgrade was done since I was running Evolution 1.05 and wanted to upgrade to 1.4.6 (which is only available as a package in sarge). Ev1.05 was giving me grief. So I dont think the connection dropping out is a networking problem. I am almost positive there is a bug in the connection between courier-imap3.08-3 and Evolution1.4.6-5 that causes it to disconnect. I spoke to one guy on the courier-imap mailing list who said that he had the same problem. He said that by upgrading to Evolution2.0 he has never had the dropout problem again. I am unable to upgrade to Evolution 2.0 since it is not available in sarge.
Be a real geek: migrate to Sid. You'll get upgrades much faster, and in my experience, there are _very_few_ major bugs. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson, LA USA PGP Key ID 8834C06B YODA: Code!
