Hello Marc: I just tried something similar. I used evolution to send a PDF to my gmail account on my Samsung i7. Worked perfectly. I then used the gmail app on my Samsun i7 to send a PDF file to evolution 3.20.5 on my PC (Ubuntu 16.04). E-mail received, but PDF file removed.

It works great and just does what I need but not when PDFs are attached to mail. This happens: - The PDFs that came over from all converted Thunderbird mail folder work (the PDF is attached and can be saved or shown with a PDF reader). - Receiving mail with PDF attachment from somebody works (the PDF is attached and can be saved or shown with a PDF reader). - When I send a message to myself (gmail /IMAP) with PDF attachment and: - Open it on my phone the message shows the PDF as attachment and I can open it. - After opening it on my phone open it in Evolution, inbox, it shows a PDF attachment and I can read it. - When I send a message to myself (gmail /IMAP) with PDF attachment and: - View the mail when it arrives after a couple of seconds in Evolution, there is no attachment (Evolution does not show the attachment icon). - When I open the mail the message text is not displayed but I get something like this: --=-j24mMlS90KBqBPE8CB7c-- - When I open the mail on my phone I get text message text and a PDF as attachment. Short: When I send myself a mail, gmail, with PDF attachment, Evolution loses the mail text and PDF attachment and replaces everything with garbage. Has somebody seen this? Is there a solution?
