GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 632496
Evolution does not find my configured email account anymore
Last modified: 2010-11-30 17:39:58 UTC
This started in forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9992187&posted=1#post9992187 I had configured a gmail account in evolution and used it successfully until recently when after a restart evolution asks me again to configure an email (Evolution setup assistant wizard) again. I already have my email configured but something must be preventing evolution to find my email account. What can I do to recover all that ? My .evolution/mail folder still has all the data for example (got there some hundreds MB still). and I also have there other folders: addressbook, calendar..etc ~$ evolution RSS Plugin enabled (evolution 2.28, evolution-rss 0.2.0) ** (evolution:8473): DEBUG: mailto URL command: evolution %s ** (evolution:8473): DEBUG: mailto URL program: evolution Run evolution with logging like this: CAMEL_DEBUG=all evolution >& evo.log I pasted the output to pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/515806/ At some point I've un-installed also RSS plugin in hope that could help me get started. I just want to have my email again, don't want to loose all that data. Is there a workaround ? Tnx. I provide additional info if required
If you open the terminal and enter the command gconftool-2 --get /apps/evolution/mail/accounts is there some output?
(In reply to comment #1) > If you open the terminal and enter the command > gconftool-2 --get /apps/evolution/mail/accounts > is there some output? the replay is this: ~$ gconftool-2 --get /apps/evolution/mail/accounts [] So I guess this is an empty list, isn't it ?
Yupp, no accounts existing. If it was a GMail IMAP account I would back up .evolution/mail and just recreate the account when starting evolution...
backed up all my .evolution folder (including there contacts, calendar also) and afterwards copied all that data back to .evolution folder after re-creating my gmail IMAP account. Backing up was a good thing to do because all my data was wiped by the evolution account wizard. Is that supposed to happen ? My contacts (couch db), calendar info, mail was lost at account wizard step
Please read for future reference: http://live.gnome.org/Evolution/FAQ#How_can_I_completely_backup_evolution.3F I don't really see a servicable bug here.
thank to you all
just wanted to let you know that same issue appeared again. I've lost my configured account once again. That happed after I filled my HDD space. I think the same thing happend in origin case also. There must be something wrong about this.
