  • Evolution & ThunderBird

    From Jerry Mellon@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jun 19 21:20:01 2024
    This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
    Hello,

    New user having trouble with evolution. I think that I have it setup
    correctly, but it will not login

    to my email accounts. At the bottom of screen it is scanning the email
    server from my login but then

    a box pops up indicating that there was an error trying to login and
    asks for the password, which I supply and box closes only to return
    shortly with the same response.

    I have used the account on my other system and no problem so the account
    is OK.

    I tried to download Thunderbird to give it a try but it is missing some dependencies an will not

    load.

    My brain keeps wanting to note that e.g. Gmail used to make us jump
    through painful hoops to use desktop programs like Evolution. That
    didn't happen for me this time, but maybe other email providers still
    have the detail that needs addressed on their online end and that isn't
    seen while setting up an Evolution account (versus other email
    programs).


    Do you use POP or IMAP with GMAIL?

    I love Evolution for email, since I was a big OUTLOOK user back in my Windows days! And I like how for POP3 accounts, each email is stored as an individual file, vs being shoved into a binary .mbx file that could get corrupted at any time!

    This is possible for IMAP too, e.g. with the Maildir format.
