------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-14 14:50 ------- Hello, Redhat uses an earlier version, and Evolution upgrades its mail base when the user upgrades the version (if needed, somewhere around v1.2 of Evolution from my reading). You ask that I "try creating a different user and run evolution using this user" Do you mean: 1) Create a different user in Redhat, then upgrade that install to Mandrake and see if the new user has difficulty receiving mail? 2) Create a different user in the already upgraded Mandrake, and see if the user has difficulty receiving mail? 3) Something else. A different user I create won't be receiving any mail from anyone. What do you want me to do when I run Evolution as this user? I can set Evolution to receive my regular mail while logged in as this newly created user, but Evolution's settings are independent of the underlying user's identity. I'm not using any of the Linux mail tools (fetchmail, sendmail, etc.), I'm having Evolution go directly in with it's own tools to get and send my mail. What do you want me to try?

Install Mandrake 9.1 rc2. Mount partitions as above, format /, leave /home intact, including existing Evolution folders. Create same users, verify user UID and GID are the same. Evolution runs, shows all existing mail messages, folders, accounts, etc. Try to get new mail. Evolution shows send/receive subdialog, no mail is fetched. Dialog is presented: "Unable to connect to POP server pop.compuserve.com. Error sending password: -ERR Failed to open mailbox bwaldow. Please enter the POP password for [EMAIL PROTECTED]" Enter the pop account password, repeat. Send/receive dialog displays for as long as the user will wait. Canceling it provokes the dialog quoted above again. Reboot, power off shutdown and restart, etc. all do not change the behavior. Switch to backup hard disk with prior existing Redhat installation. Evolution fetches mail without difficulty. Compuserve cannot be the problem, password is good. I will hold onto the Mandrake installation for a few days in case anyone has questions I could answer from it. I'm novice/intermediate - be verbose asking what you want to know. (But I am professional QA). Cheers.
