Setup IMAP in Evolution

dreamsorcerer · 26 Jan 2008, 01:18 AM

Can't seem to connect properly to Runbox using Evolution.

Server Type: IMAP
Server: secure.runbox.com
Use Secure Connection: TLS encryption
Authentication Type: Password

Have I set anything wrong?

The error that pops up is:
"Error while Scanning folders in "IMAP server secure.runbox.com".

Server unexpectedly disconnected: Unknown error"

I asked a friend, and the only idea we had is that the server has schizophrenia :P

The current (broken) and the beta (also broken) IMAP server do not support TLS! You have to use SSL on port 993!

Still get the same error on SSL, although I can't seem to find anywhere I can specify the port.

According to this link:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=278305

you would specify the port as part of the server information:

secure.runbox.com:993

OK, done that, and now it says scanning folders for exactly one minute, then hits the same error (before the error would occur as soon as attempting to connect). This is before it even gets to ask for the password, tested with TLS and SSL.

Does it work without SSL?

imap.runbox.com

or

imap.runbox.com:143

Just tested it, yes, it asks for my password, and then downloads fine.

Edit: SMTP server is working fine with TLS, it's just IMAP server not working with either TLS or SSL.
