evolution does connect to internet
Hello
I just installed Debian and cannot get Evolution to connect to the internet. The File/work on line button is grayed out, also the icon in the lower left. What connection should i look for? Thanks Cliff |
See this link, it is step by step howto set up Evolution. You will know the names of the pop and smtp servers. That should be available from your ISP.

Thanks camorri
I checked the url and made sure all the steps were followed. When opening Evolution it is still indicates it is off line. Thanks |
A few questions.
Do other internet programs work? Firefox? Do you have a proxy? Are you running a firewall? This may have it blocked. |
Are you using network manager for the connection?
Seems there is a bug with network manager and evolution. http://lists.mandriva.com/bugs/2011-02/msg00095.php Do you have the latest evolution? Try to remove network manager and use wicd. Kind regards |
Hi,
I've been using Evolution 2.32.3 (and previous versions) for a couple of months with Linux Mint Debian Edition (Debian testing) in combination with NetworkManager (0.8.4) without any problems. Going through the responses in the bug pointed out by repo, it seems to work for that user when he connects using wireless, yet fails when using cable. As asked before, do your other internet programs work, chat, browser, ... Kind regards, Eric |

HI camorri
Empathy and iceweasel work just fine No I am not running a firewall yet, just installed on my desktop. I do not have a proxy that I know of. Hi repo No network manager that I know of. Installed Squeeze 6 from iso. as second operating system the other sys is Ubuntu Natty. they are both 64 bit. Hi EricTRA I have been using Evolution for several years with Ubuntu and wanted to take a look at Debian. Grub would be the only manager other than Nautilus thanks for the time |
Can you try installing Thunderbird, and configure it to see if you can get it working. Then we'll know if it the Evolution or some other problem.

Debian equivelent to Thunderbird is icedove. Loaded this up and instantly retrived my email. Still prefere Evolution as my client. I must have a switch some where that is not in the proper place. Cliff |
Hi Cliff,
What version of Evolution are you using? Debian is version 6 (Squeeze) I assume? Kind regards, Eric |
