With these settings when I click on Send/Receive, it no longer gives me
an error message, but it shows a window saying
Public-Math (len imap math northwestern edu)
and below that an Updating window which shows No progress.

The older version showed a similar window but it said
Public-Math(imap)imap.math.northwestern.edu
and below that it showed progress in the Updating Window, and after a
while it completed.

Perhaps the problem lies with the server?

I would really like to get this straightened out because I have to
install Fedora 20 on the other comuter, which is my main computer.  But
I'm not sure what to do if I can't get evolution working under Fedora
20.
