HOWTO: Send and Receive Hotmail through Evolution

[voodew]

Thanks so much, this worked perfectly for me the first time also!

But, to echo some previous posts, if anyone does know or figures out how to make it so when you delete downloaded hotmail emails in evolution, they also get deleted from your online hotmail account, please clue me in.

Thanks again!

I think the suggestions in the previous post are the fix. Remove the -r option and make sure "Leave messages on server" option is enabled on whatever client you're using.

I'm not sure about syncing, but the hotmail trash problem should be an easy fix.
If you have a line that looks like

pop3		stream	tcp	nowait	nobody	/usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/bin/hotwayd -r

in your inetd.conf file, remove the -r option.
In the account preferences in evolution, go to the Receiving Options tab and make sure "Leave Messages on Server" is checked.

thanks
i forgot to say that i dont have that '-r' on the end of the code but i didnt have the "Leave Messages on Server" ticked

anyone have any idea how to properly sync up the folder & email creation/movements between evolution and web-hotmail??
im kinda shocked and disappointed that evolution didnt try incorporate this into their design. such an important feature that outlook thoroughly caters to. hopefully im just ignorant of an existing solution

I also had the Vmware issue and just did the following to get it to work:

sudo gedit and create these two files:
/etc/xinetd.d/hotsmtpd

service hotsmtpd
{
disable = no
type = unlisted
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = nobody
groups = yes
server = /usr/bin/hotsmtpd
port = 2500
}

/etc/xinetd.d/hotwayd

service hotwayd
{
disable = no
type = unlisted
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = nobody
groups = yes
server = /usr/bin/hotwayd
log_on_failure += USERID
log_on_success += PID HOST EXIT
port = 110
}

Restart the xinetd server

sudo /etc/init.d/xinetd restart

I've only been using Ubuntu for a few days and I'm loving it.

My Hotmail account is working fine through Evolution.

A massive thank you to the original poster.

I honestly deeply appreciate the effort gone into setting this up for all us inexperienced new guys. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me as yet. The sending of mail works fine, but on clicking Send/Receive, I get the message -ERR Could not find folder inbox on remote server. A few other people have had it, I believe.

Sorry if this has already been answered; I have looked through the thread.

I'm getting the same error as above

soz to revive this thread but has anyone been able to fix the:

Error sending password: -ERR Hotmail said you must pay money to have WebDAV access

problem yet? can it be fixed?
