Evolution- setting up personal domain gmail

[completeidiot]

I'm trying to set up email in Evolution for a gmail account that uses my domain. it's not an @gmail.com address. I've done it before, but I can't remember how I did it for the life of me. My @gmail.com address is set up perfectly. Please point me in the right direction. I just upgraded to 10.04 and forgot to back this up.

thanks

INCOMING:

OUTGOING:

server requires authentication
TLS encryption

That "just works" for me.

still not working....can't figure out what it could possibly be. has been working fine for ages and then i did a fresh install after using 9.10 flawlessly and now i can't get it back to work. my standard gmail account is working but i can't get it to work with the @mydomain.com email

That's odd. These settings have worked for me in every version since Hardy. I've found it helpful to backup my settings from the "File" menu. This creates a evolution-backup.tar.gz file and saves me a lot of trouble when i re-install. Just for the record, i never do upgrades. Clean installs only.

I did do a clean install.
I forgot all about creating the backup file.

Either way, i'm stumped.

Here's an idea. Try a Karmic LiveCD. Set up your account in evolution while in a Live environment, create a backup, then import the backup file on your Lucid installation. Or, create a usb startup drive using a Karmic disc, boot it and follow the same steps.

changed it to pop and it works.
swear i tried that first and it didn't work.

I know this has been "solved", but i just wanted to ask. Did you have IMAP enabled in your Gmail settings before you tried the POP option?
