Using Evolution Mail with mailbox.org

Can you be more precise ? Have you an error message while trying to connect ?

Sorry sasaki,

I was not specific enough.

It stays in waiting forever.

That doesn't happen with Ice Dove with the e same credentials.

Are you a mailbox.org user?

No, but I remember I spent a long time configuring my accounts in evolution the first time.

You have to carefully enter all the parameters by yourself because it has no automatic feature like icedove.

Are you in pop3 or imap4 ?

Have you checked your authentification service ? There are a few to try.

I had troubles configuring claws mail with riseup, mainly due to the incorrect (outdated) info on their otherwise excellent website. If it is for smoothness (it being lightweight and responsive) you like evolution, I really recommend claws mail, in case you don't find a sloution for evolution.
cheers

Thanks for the replies,

More in detail - mailbox.org requires STARTTLS and port 993, in Evolution if I select this port and then in the select box I choose STARTTLS it changes automatically to port 143.

I don't know why.

For me that's the issue.

I will look up claw mail.

Hello ADFENO,

It doesn’t work I tried all those different combinations.

Trying to Cheat the configuration process.

Thanks anyway

You can also launch evolution in a terminal to see if it outputs something when trying to connect.

I personally don't use evolution, except on some computers, to have a quick imap access. I prefer icedove wich seems more convenient for a day to day use (powerful, full of options and plugins, efficient and quick search, support of multiple accounts for pop3, huge doc, etc.)

Thanks,

I decided also that and I was trying to use Claws Mail instead but I couldn't find the plugins in the package that comes with trisquel.

Although the email can fetch mailbox.org

Maybe I will follow your advice and give a try to icedove.

I ended up with Claws mail.

Thanks everyone it was very useful for me this tread

Still getting used to Claws mail but my frist impression is that is really fast and slim.

Thanks - didn't knew it before.
