[For future reference: try to avoid top-posting on the list as it
annoys quite a few
As a quick update, it seems my server was configured for IMAP when I
set it up. Switched my accounts from pop, and working just peachy.
Thanks once again.

Thank you

Its CardDAV and works well with evolution. It was more work with TB to
setup.
