If you are failing to authenticate in the first place - resulting in an endless sequence of password prompts I would first suspect the account is configured wrong. The server/port is correct but the security and authentication values are incorrect. In preferences -> account editor -> recieving email if you click the "Check for supported types" under authentication ... does that work/complete? -- Adam Tauno Williams <mailto:[email protected]> GPG D95ED383 Systems Administrator, Python Developer, LPI / NCLA _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
