Ubuntu 10.10 Evolution Mail Downloads to Deleted Box! Help!!

salpern · 04-20-2011, 10:06 AM

I just installed Ubuntu 10.10. When I download mail from the AOL server, however, it downloads to my Deleted Items box, and not to my Inbox. What do I do to correct this problem? I've searched this forum, and google, to no avail. Not sure about navigating this forum, since I'm a newbie, so I will appreciate emails here, and to my email address, which is salpern@columbus.rr.com.

(Please give step by step instructions. One place said to rename the Inbox to Inbox.Old, but I can't figure out where to look to do that.)

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to LQ!

I do not use Ubuntu. Which mail client are you using?

Btw, I suggest that you remove the personal email address. Your asking for problems. Most members prefer to keep communications within the forum so others can benefit.

FYI: I suggest that you look at 'How to Ask Questions the Smart Way' so in the future your queries provide information that will aid us in diagnosis of the problem.

Since this is a new install, I'm guessing you don't have any filters created.

It's been a long time since my dailup days, but I think AOL back then was IMAP.

Is it possible that Evolution is marking the items as spam in error (I don't use Evolution much--don't like it, but I do have it set up on one machine)?

What are your configuration settings? (Do not include your login name and password.)
