Re: [Evolution] Evolution and Gmail not playing

I had come across the suggestion about concurrent connections before but it does not appear

 in the pop configuration - I think it must only be for an IMAP connection.


I should have added I have looked around extensively for a solution before asking on this list.

Means nothing - please use Evolution version numbers, not distro
version numbers.

The solution is in the archives

Edit -> Preferences -> [select account] -> Edit -> Receiving options

and reduce the number of concurrent connections to '1'.

Gmail aggressively throttles connections that it thinks are hitting it
too hard - it interprets more than one concurrent connection as being
too much.

Use 'evolution --force-shutdown' from a command line.

3.16.5 is the most recent version.
