Re: [Evolution] Checking for new mail ...

Yes, without any real success.

What usually works best (for some new definition of best) is "encouraging it to try again" by pressing send receive.

After say 10 goes over a 1-2h period it will usually succeed, provided the link is _really_ reliable (hotel wifi doesn't usually work, nor my 3G usb stick).

When I'm on the road, i sometimes find that I can't sync at all until I get home (my android phone running TouchDown does not exhibit this issue, and it's connecting to the same mail server and reading the same mail).

...and today it just got to be all to much, hence my email.

Hve you tried restarting Evo? That usually seems to fix this sort of
thing.
