http://forums.fedoraforum.org – Hi I upgraded to f17 and suddenly evolution won't send emails. Reports an error that the SMTP server could not authenticate CRAM-MD5, I tried alternatives like no-encryption, plain login etc, but nothing works, while *at the same time* another machine on the same network with an earlier evolution on f16 could send emails without problems. The upgraded machine had a clean install but then restore of home folder and restore of evolution using evo's own facility. So I upgraded the remaining f16 mcahine using pre-upgrade, without any restores and same problem. It is as though something is (HowTos)

Evolution issue in F17 50 weeks 2 days ago

Restored my backed-up evolution when I installed F17-64 fro scratch. All seemed well until I tried to send an email, then get message that the smpt server does not support a plain password, and now evolution does not show any emails, contacts, etc.

I hope I have not lost any emails

I will go back to 16 for now :( Liked 17 otherwise.

I just upgraded to Fedora 17, maintaining my home directory and all its . files.

Evolution is now responding differently. I also have evolution running under Fedora 15 on another machine.

I zwitched on Desktop from mutt to Evolution to some extent. Now I cannot find my sent emails so where are the sent -emails when they are sent with Evolution -email-program?

I love Ubuntu and Evolution so I installed Evolution on Ubuntu 12.04 when I upgraded recently.

I restored my mail from a backup and on starting Evolution for the first time, received a message about converting my emails and once successful, deleting the mbox versions via Edit -> Preferences -> Mail accounts.

This all worked as expected until I did my first backup and realised that the

I've now had a repeated experience of my emails disappearing - not deleted, just disappearing - since I converted from POP to IMAP. How do I stop this perverse behaviour?

On (bad) advice I converted my Evolution email client account from POP to IMAP. ALL email, in every folder, in client and host server just disappeared. I had no opportunity to even take a back-up in Evolution.

I get this error when trying to send emails. It receives emails just fine, the reported error was:

RCPT TO "RECEIVER" failed: "SENDER": Sender address rejected: not logged in".

Where "RECEIVER" is the mail address I'm trying to send and "SENDER" is my email address.

Please do not tell me i should just use thunderbird.

This sync -bug may be related to this lag -bug here. Basically Inbox shows +1 email but cannot find it, I have deselected I think all options such as search not to filter out emails. You can see my progress with the questions below.

Evolution not working 3 years 18 weeks ago

Code: (evolution:18960): e-data-server-DEBUG: Loading categories from "/home/hello/.evolution/categories.xml" (evolution:18960): e-data-server-DEBUG: Loaded 22 categories

(evolution:18960): evolution-shell-WARNING **: The name org.freedesktop.NetworkManager was not provided by any .service files evolution-shell-Message: Preparing for online mode...

I just upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10. I'm noticing that evolution can no longer decode winmail.dat files sent from windows boxes. evolution-plugins-experimental is still installed but that is all I know.

Does anyone know how to fix this.

Thanks
