[Evolution] Configuration for Yahoo Mail IMAP Account

[Hasko Bern <pascal hasko bernhard googlemail com>]

Hi, 

I started using Evolution (version 3.2.2- GNOME desktop) as my default mail client on a Debian system.
My Gmail account works well (IMAP) but unfortunately not my Yahoo account. Subfolders are not displayed, other mail clients do not have a problem with that (Icedove [Debian's version of Thunderbird] or Iceape Suite for example). There is a folder 'Friend' but not its subfolders like 'Name 1', 'Name 2', 'Name 3', etc. The messages in these folders also do not shown up in the parent folder 'Friends'. The same phenomenon with the other folder, which has subfolders. All other folders are fine, having all the mails that are supposed to be there.

I followed these instructions in setting up the IMAP account for Yahoo mail:

Here are my account settings, maybe I did something wrong, even though other mail clients work fine with this configuration (This is a translation from German so bear with my bad English):

mail address: myname yahoo de
server type:ÂÂ IMAP+ (same behavior with IMAP)
ÂÂÂ ÂÂÂ ÂÂÂ Â Â Â ÂÂ imap.mail.yahoo.com (tried adding :993 to server name, didn't work)

port:ÂÂÂ ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ 993
user name:ÂÂÂ myname
encryption:ÂÂÂ SSL encryption
legitimation:Â password

server type:ÂÂ SMTP
ÂÂÂ ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ smtp.mail.yahoo.com

port:ÂÂÂ ÂÂÂ ÂÂÂÂÂ 465
user name:ÂÂÂ myname
encryption:ÂÂÂ SSL encryption
legitimation:Â plain text


Set are the following options:
ÂÂÂ - look for mails in all folders
ÂÂÂ - use 'fast synchronisation'

ÂÂÂ - use 'idle'
ÂÂÂ - sync remote mails automatically

Thanks very much for your help,


Pascal
