First, what version are you running? I'm running 1.2.2 on one machine and 1.0.8 on another.
Second, you didn't say whether you told evo that the server was an IMAP server. I assume that, under mail settings, you set the server type to "IMAP."
I honestly don't remember doing much else to get it to work. Don't look in your Inbox for your IMAP messages; they won't be there. There's a top-level folder (same level as "Local Folders") that has the name of your IMAP account. Under that should be all your IMAP folders as subfolders. In the mail settings are a few switches specific to IMAP folders -- show only subscribed folders, check for mail in all folders, apply filters to INBOX on this server, etc. Maybe you need to tell evo to check mail in all folders.
I hope this isn't too basic, but like I said, that's about all I did and it worked. I wish I could remember if I did anything else. If I can help by checking this or that setting, let me know.
Incidentally, this is on evo1.2.2. I did it on evo1.0.8 as well.
Regards,
Jim

I'm a reasonbly experienced programmer and I've read all the FAQs and information I could find on the Web, but I can't get Evolution to work with IMAP. I can access my mail using IMAP with "pine" (a mail reader from the University of Washington). The "fetchmail" command also works with IMAP. But I can't get Evolution to work. I specified the server (po.sandcraft.com) and my user name (veenstra) and when it asks for my password, I type that in. But Evolution does not read the mail. As it happens, I can also access my mail file directly over NFS because the filesystem that the mail is written to (on the mail server) can be automounted onto my machine. I can get Evolution to read my mail by specifying "Local delivery" and giving the pathname to the mail file. But for my own reasons I would like to use IMAP and I can't get that to work. I've read the FAQ that says to exit evolution and run "killev" after changing the settings. I did that and it still does not work. How do I debug what is going on?
