Evolution

#1 Post by Sigurdfs »

Hello,
I have installed Evolution as usual. It looks fine, It works fine but It does not receive emails and I cannot send sent emails. No error message, nothing. It simple does not receive and send emails. What can I do to fix this?
Kind regards
Sigurd

My best guess is that the incoming and outgoing server requirements have changed since the last time you set up Evolution. You will have to go to the site of your email provider and determine what changes you have to make in Evolution's configuration.
HP 15; ryzen 3 5300U APU; 500 Gb SSD; 8GB ram
HP 17; ryzen 3 3200; 500 GB SSD; 12 GB ram
Idea Center 3; 12 gen i5; 256 GB ssd;

In Linux, newer isn't always better. The best solution is the one that works.

I don't think so. I have reinstalled it from a former bachup file. I have checked the configuration for sending and receiving. Everything is okay.
to have email access I have installed Thunderbird and it works. But I think Evolution is better.

I already have checked everything and the send and receive button is not grayed out. I used now your MX Package Installer. It showed Evolution was not installed. So I have installed it again. Now I get the message in Evolution that there are new emails. But the emails do not appear in the inbox.

I had a very similar problem with thunderbird. I installed the flatpak version and it works fine now. Uninstall evolution and install the flatpak version and re-import your backup.

I have uninstalled Evolution completley and installed it new using the MX Package Manager. Then I restored Evolution from a backup file. This file was made by Evolution under Kubuntu. Everything still the same. I get the message about new emails. But they do not appear in the inbox.
