Evolution hangs while chekcing supported security types
Last modified: 2008-09-11 05:56:07 UTC
Please describe the problem: Hi! I encountered a problem with Evolution while trying to setup one IMAP account. Not knowing what kind of security protocol is available on the server, I tried with the 'Whenever Possible' option, but Evolution could not figure out that the server was running IMAPS on 993 port which I came to know later (by email) after contacting my friend who did setup. Switching to the 'Always' worked immediately. So, this is very annoying and can persuade some new Evolution users to e.g. try Kmail instead. My friend (Evo user itself) told me that Evolution tries with TLS & co. 1st and has this problem and Guenther on #irc told me that the issue is mentioned '..thousand times' in the mailing lists. This is, imho, enough justification to fix it properly and possibly provide some kind of feedback waht's going on during the 'discovery phase'. Sincerely, Gour Pls. Steps to reproduce: 1. in mailer, Receiving Email --> Check supported types with "Whenever possible" option activated 2. 3. Actual results: Evolution tries for the long time, showing nothing and the process has to be cancelled. Expected results: To discover what kind of security is available and/or report what is trying, ie. testing for. Does this happen every time? Yes. Other information:
