I'm not using Yahoo Plus. I tried to correct the server setting by switching to a Unix folder from smtp to receive. The problem is sending; I've never received anything. I don't know how to "check the pop3 and smtp server settings." Do I do that in evolution or from the shell?
I see that there's endless error messages in my Yahoo error console, repeatedly saying "Permission denied to call method Location.toString. Permissions are weird in Ubuntu; you have to do "sudo chomod" then give your user password; you never do declare a root password. There's even more of these errors I've attached. Maybe I shouldn't have Google as my homepage in Firefox, where I bookmarked the yahoo mail. I also have a gmail account that I never use. I thought I would lose the yahoo account whenever I figured out how to filter out spam effectively. If I knew how to make evolution my default, and it worked, I'd be happy to change right now. I like the interface. I like the idea of managing my email from my shell prompt even more. --- On Sat, 5/30/09, thecarpy <theca...@netscape.net> wrote: > From: thecarpy <theca...@netscape.net> > Subject: [Bug 381915] Re: Evolution will not send mail - "error: broken pipe" > To: b_min...@yahoo.com > Date: Saturday, May 30, 2009, 12:11 PM > This looks like a configuration > problem in evolution. > See https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+question/3038 > > Could you please check the pop3 and smtp server settings > and report them? > Please provide details about your email account, are you > using yahoo mail with pop3 (yahoo Mail Plus) or is your ISP > using yahoo mail? > > -- > Evolution will not send mail - "error: broken pipe" > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/381915 > You received this bug notification because you are a direct > subscriber > of the bug. > > Status in “evolution” source package in Ubuntu: New > > Bug description: > Binary package hint: evolution > > The "first time assistant" apparently started up in the > background without my knowing it.
