I have a similiar problem here when trying to connect to GMail IMAP server:
Failed to open folder. The reported error was "You must be working online to complete this operation". But I'm working online, direct connection, no proxy, fresh install (even home directory), running oneiric 32 bit, Unity. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evolution in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/851153 Title: IMAP account (Courier) no longer working after upgrade Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After upgrading to Oneiric one of my IMAP accounts is not working. I have attached two gdb outputs, one configured as IMAP, the other as IMAP+ as noted by the filename. In Natty/2.32 this account works fine with either IMAP or IMAP+. The failing account is connecting to a Courier-IMAP server running on Debian Squeeze. The account continues to work fine on Natty/2.32 with the un-upgraded configuration. For the gdb output attached, I have disabled/unchecked all other email/online accounts . In both cases I waited for an error message and then killed the session from gdb. When set to IMAP (gdb_evolution_110915_imap.txt) the error message on screen stated: Error while performing operation. You must be working online to complete this operation When set to IMAP+ (gdb_evolution_110915_imapplus.txt) the error message stated: Failed to open folder. The reported error was "Could not connect to mail2.ianbmacdonald.com: Input/output error" Creating a completely new account seems to work fine. So I'll just purge the old one and migrate filters, etc. ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: evolution 3.1.91-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-11.18-generic 3.0.4 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-11-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 Date: Thu Sep 15 13:54:10 2011 ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.utf8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: evolution UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to oneiric on 2011-09-09 (6 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/851153/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
