------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-14 15:50 -------
I don't have any mail transport enabled on my systems except Evolution
dealing directly with pop and smtp servers. I can also access my Yahoo
account via a browser.
I also don't know how to configure another mail transport agent, and I'd
end up with inconsistent mail storage if I do (mail in two places, and
I'm looking for work, so I can't afford that), so I'll need help if you
want me to try something like that.
When I create another user in Mandrake I'll try to use this account to
access my regular Compuserve account via Evolution. In order not to
screw up my messages, I'll have Evolution set to leave the messages on
the server (not erase them) so I can later get them where they're
supposed to be.
Cheers,
Bret

description:
An existing Redhat 8.0 system, Evolution is working fine. /dev/hda5 is /,
/dev/hda7 is /home, both ext3.
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.
