11.04 Evolution IMAP Connection Error

[funky_D]

god damn, i don't have proxy for evolution! this is bad! unhappy moment when i did the upgrade!

[beecee77]

Continuing to torture myself... I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.04 - not an upgrade.

Evolution worked straight away!

Then... around 30 mins later, it's doing exactly the same thing. Timeout to the IMAP server, blah de blah.

Then when I tried to login to my email via Citrix, I went to download and reinstall the same citrix receiver 11.100 that was working previously... and surprise surprise, the deb package for citrix doesn't want to install on Natty with a bunch of errors.

So I'm giving up for now - going back to 10.10. Natty is doing my head in.

The same problem is here.

I updated from 10.04 to 11.04 and Evolution stopped working.
Manually connection with "telnet server.name 143" works fine.

The imap-Server is no exchange but dovecot on a debianserver.

Now I am able to receive messages but not able to send it! Says connection refused....

I have similar problem, and created my own thread, though NONE has bothered responding!

I have used Ubuntu since 8.04 and first Outlook, until that stopped working in 9.10, then Evolution. When I did the upgrade mail works, and some of Calendar, but contacts fails all the time. I use Google IMAP for a private domain.

Calendar accounts work when they feel like it and sometimes need deleting and restarting

It is beyond frustrating now as a sole trader I am now loosing customers as I can't contact anyone or set meetings. All since the upgrade to 11.04!

I use 5 different accounts - all Google IMAP hosted for eMail
I sync 6 accounts for Calendar - all Google and
2 Accounts for Contacts, all Google

PS I have a bug report out with Launchpad too. Again no response!

have you tried 11.04 install from scratch, not an upgrade?

mine worked at first, then failed later, but maybe you might have more luck with a fresh install?

I've gone back to Ubuntu 10.10 (fresh install), evolution is working again.

same issue here, I try to connect to an exchange server after 1 upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04. Evolution even not prompts for my (windows) password. In the maverick distro I had evolution 2.30.3, in natty I have 2.32.2. Any help are welcome.

Not quite. On the 32-bit laptop it failed after 24hrs due to Unity so I had to do a scratch build, but I used my 10.10 CD. I do not want to go through a new build. There is a fundamental issue with this build and Evolution. I have seen threads and websites all over with this problem and no solution. I even found a developer site with a patch - I could not get it to work - who states that the patch was for the 11.04 beta release whilst he fixes the problem!!!!!

I am a little concerned that we do not have developers or being fare, apparent all over this...

PS. My thread is here.

Mine is a fresh installation.....

Mine is a fresh installation.....

Have you got the same problem? It certanly seems common when I search the web, though my thread seems to be the only one specific to this level of detail - Contacts and Calendar.
