Bug Description
Binary package hint: evolution
Evolution will receive the first waiting email from the pop3 server, and then fail/hang up on the second email. It doesn't matter how many emails are are waiting, 5 - 500.
This bug is still bothering me, and it makes Evolution v2.28.1 absolutely useless for email. I can't live picking them off one at a time and babysitting the error dialogs.
Mozilla Thunderbird is able to pick up all the email waiting with no problems.
Could this be a timing problem? E.G., my system too slow (I am running Ubuntu 9.10 with a full installation on an external USB HD), or perhaps my email serving not responding as expected.
Are there any tools or tweaks you can suggest?
Please see my expired Question #90382 at https:/
I'm hoping a longer look at this will help me fix it.
Here is the blurb on the Evolution package:

You can debug the communications with your mail server with environment variable CAMEL_VERBOSE_ DEBUG.
1. Exit evolution and run the command 'evolution --force-shutdown' DEBUG=1 evolution >& /tmp/camel.out'
2. Run the command 'env CAMEL_VERBOSE_
3. Use evolution like usual
The server traffic will be logged to /tmp/camel.out file delimited by the words "sending:" and "receiving:". Certain information such as usernames and passwords, and most message content will be hidden or not printed.
Please attach the resulting /tmp/camel.out log file. If you could produce a very short movie and screen prints documenting the problem then that may also help track down the problem.
