I am using version 3.38.3-1. That is the version number in Devuan.
I first noticed this problem a day or so ago. What happens when I open up
evolution is it seems to hang and eventually
the popup requesting showing I need to resend my login credentials with the
password slot empty. I resend but the IMAP
server never seems to receive the password. It just requests it over and over
again until evolution reports that the
IMAP server has severed the connection because it has been idle too long.
I have used wireshark to look to see if there is network communication between
my laptop and the server and there is
communication both ways.
This all started with some very odd behavior in the communication sent from
evolution. Evolution was sending to a url
that was corrupted and a corrupted username. Instead of sending to my isp's
url mobile.charter.net it was sending to
mobile.charter.net.mes.erf.wux.ddd . The last three subnets after .mes I
cannot remember but I do remember the .mes
came after the .net and four subnets after that. So I went in and redid all
the entries in Preferences for my account
including the server url, my user account name, ports, etc The corrupted
url was now corrected and so was the
corrupted user name. But the same pause in downloading mail was still
happening. I rebooted my computer and afterwards
evolution downloaded my mail one time and then went back to the same behavior.
I can send mail. I emailed myself and using my browser to access the IMAP
account I can see the email I sent myself.
But, when I reopen evolution it thinks the email was not sent as it opens the
compose page of the email that I just had
sent. And I am sending this email using evolution.
I need some help in figuring out what has happened. I think something has
gotten corrupted but I've been all through
the /home/username/.config/evolution files I can find and read but can't find
anything relating to sending
authentication to a server.
