Sylpheed: Can Send, can't receive
I have used the following procedure to set up a gmail account from sylpheed 3.4.1, but as a result I can only send email, and not receive email. Even though I am using lubuntu 14.04, still in the future I would like to use debian. Thus sylpheed is the choice email client.
Procedure: 1) I use synaptic package manager to download sylpheed and install. Quote:
On the last page it tells me my gmail address has been set up, verifying that Code:
imap4 server: imap.gmail.com:993 (SSL) Quote:

RESULTS: Sylpheed can send email. But Sylpheed still can't get mail from my gmail. This wouldn't have to do with all the labels and filters that I have set in gmail, would it? What am I doing wrong? |
The only idea I have is to start Sylpheed from the command line. Perhaps it will throw some error messages to the terminal that might cast some light on this. This link tells me that Sylpheed maintains a log file at $HOME/.sylpheed/sylpheed.log. You might also look in there.
(When I've set up mail clients, if I have problems, it's usually sending, not receiving.) |

silly question: did you enable imap access in your gmail settings? its off by default.

it was originally enabled

[Solved]
I deleted the account and then created a new gmail account, but with the following changes: Code:

BASIC Of course the two terms I've used above aren't very elegant, but I'm sure you can get the idea. Thanks everyone! |
