What is a QSI? And where can I find it?

[Eadwine Rose]

Quick System Info, run it from the menu, copy for the forum, paste in a reply.

Don't edit the output.

QSI = Quick System Info and it can be found in MX Tools. After you run the utility, click copy at the bottom of the report and then paste here in a new post here in your thread. There's no need to edit the report, as it is already formatted for use here in the forum.

edited to add that Eadwine Rose beat me to it. She obviously types faster than I do.

As you wished: the QSI

At this point, here's what I think you should do:

Completely uninstall Evolution including any settings. Now re-install Evolution, but this time do not import your data and settings from your back-up; instead, you should manually configure Evolution. Does it work as it should, now?

[Sigurdfs]

I will try so tomorrow. Today I got White Cancer removed. I am so tired.

[Sigurdfs]

I could not go to bed unless trying your suggestion: Evolution works! I can receive and send mails. But how can I get back all my old mails back into Evolution? When I reinstall the backup file, will it alter the ability to receive and send mails? Or will this reinstall only add what is not yet there?

[j2mcgreg]

Here's what you have to do prior to importing your backup.

In your working install of Evolution, right click on your account name IE xxxxxx@emailprovider.com, then select Properties at the bottom of the list. In the Account Editor that appears on the screen, there are seven categories listed vertically on the left hand side. The categories, in descending order are: Identity, Receiving Email, Receiving Options, Sending Email, Defaults, Composing Messages, and Security. Click on each category in turn and copy down the configuration information. Once this is complete, you can go ahead and import your data. If after importing your data, Evolution fails to operate properly, you are going to have to access the Account Editor again and change the settings to match what you previously copied down.

The restoring of the backup file overwrites everything and nothing is going anymore, no receiving and no sending. I found two minor mistakes. Evolution is now sending emails (controlled by Thunderbird) but it does not show the sent email in the Sent folder. I created an new folder for sent emails and they appear there - good. But the problem in receiving emails I could not fix. Do you still have an idea?
I guess I have to go with Thunderbird now and Evolution is only to have the old emails available if needed.

[Eadwine Rose]

Do not restore the backup file. Create a clean new profile. Enter your pop data there, see if it works.
