GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 389147
timeout when retrieving mail from pop3
Last modified: 2006-12-28 17:57:21 UTC
Please describe the problem: I've got a couple of email pop3 accounts configured in Evolution. Three of those accounts are on the same server. For some reason I can retrieve only 2 to 3 emails at a time from each of those accounts, after that the connection just times out after about 2 minutes. I don't have this problem with the mail account provided by my ISP and I don't have this problem when I use Thunderbird to retrieve mail from those accounts.This is really annoying as I receive a lot of spam so downloading all of my email can sometimes take 10 minutes or more. Steps to reproduce: 1. Configure multiple pop3 accounts that are on the same server 2. Download your mail 3. Some of the mail will be downloaded but the connection times out after a while Actual results: Connection timeout Expected results: All mail is downloaded Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: Used to happen with previous versions of Evolution also.
Please have a look at bug 317830, a workaround is described
