No IMAP4 option in Evolution

4ebees · 08-24-2004, 09:45 AM

Hi,
I'm using Mandrake 10 (VERY new to Linux). I've installed Evolution and quite like the look. I can send mail via my usual mail SMTP BUT cannot locate IMAP4 as an option to allow me to contact my Fastmail account.

I realise this sounds strange and I've not found anyone else with the same question/problem (I'm happy for you to redirect me if you have). I have an option only for IMAP.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Patrick

SOMEONE? Okay, has anyone any Idea? What about a humorous comment?

Well,

I forgot to get back here to answer the questions myself.

I found out that IMAPv4, as requested by Fastmail, is an erroneous direction. One only needs so select IMAP.

Problem solved.

Latest IMAP version IS supported under latest version of Evolution. This is important because it correctly interacts with fastmail boxes, correctly marking messages read/unread when access in the evolution client. It doesn't do this is you simply select IMAP, which, again, is a separate option in the latest version of Evolution.

Thanks for that nbcthreat.

Glad to see some old posts are answered as well

) I'd forgotten all about this one.
