Re: [Evolution] Evo 3.0.2 won't download mail

I presume you are talking about POP3 - you don't actually say.

As you said, others have complained about it as well, but I can't find
any bug listed in Bugzilla about it.  I don't use POP3 (and my advice to
anyone having problems with it is usually to ditch POP3 and use IMAP
instead), so there's no point in me filing a bug.

I suggest you do some debugging and data gathering - see here for more
information on how to do it:

     http://projects.gnome.org/evolution/bugs.shtml

and then file a bug.  If it's a duplicate or a trivial problem you will
soon find out.  If you do file a bug please let this list know the bug
ID so others can add to it if necessary.

The other thing to try is to create a new Linux account and set up mail
from that to see if it's still a problem.  It may be that something in
the upgrade process got mucked up.
