I deleted the mbox account, the directory and created a new account in evo. Same problem! > It really sounds as though there is something up with your configuration > somewhere.

Seems like the version there is 3.4.0 while 3.4.4 is installed. Under org/gnome/evolution/mail I found a lot of settings, but nowhere any info about my pop and imap accounts. However, under default account there was a _very_ old account name no longer in use. It does not seem to be editable in dconf?? How to change that if needed? _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
