Hi, this is probably better suited for evolution ML (to which I have just subscribed), but maybe someone here has already gone through the same experience and will be able to shed some light: I installed evolution on my Linux box so that my girlfriend could read her email (I use Sylpheed myself, but I thought she would be pleased with evolution's bells and whistles). However, it refuses to read her emails, freezing for a while on the "send and receive email" dialog and then showing me the "Erro while fetching Mail: Cannot get POP summary: Operation now in progress" dialog. If I telnet directly to her ISP's POP server port 110, all seems to be fine (USER, PASS and LIST work). I captured traffic to her POP server with ethereal, and it seems the last thing evolution sees is "CAPA" command issued after she has authenticated (evolution tries another one as soon as it connects -- i.e. before authentication -- but this one is refused). If I try the same sequence of commands with telnet, server indeed takes a couple of seconds to retrieve capability list, and sometimes it indeed drops connection (which means it's not evolution's problem after all). It looks like her POP server is braindead. So, to make a long story short: can I tell evolution not to try 'CAPA' to workaround this issue? TIA Andre -- Andre Oliveira da Costa
