Is there a way of configuring Evolution to view a Hotmail account?

By: Cameron

Hi,

Perhaps I was a bit harsh - apologies. And after all, if the moderators submitted it who I am to say how relevant it is to howtoforge.

This is the right webiste.

I agree, most of the stuff is advanced but I don't see anything wrong with having some more basic stuff here.

You should come alive and try to honer peoples effort to the open source community.

This is a very useful howto for a lot of people

Thanks for the howto but should this not be on a newbie website?

I mean most of the stuff on here is pretty advanced ie. VM setups, clustering etc and you are showing us how to set up a pop account in evolution.

Come alive now!

This information seems no longer correct.  It starts out by saying you need to use POP.  This is not true.

 The settings below work for a GMX account using IMAP on Evolution.  My account is in France.


 I am using these (working) Settings In:

imap.gmx.net

[email protected]

SSL encryption

 

 I am using these (working) Settings Out:

mail.gmx.fr

SSL encryption

[email protected]

Hi, I have a evolution which was working for years. I recently migrated from fedora 15 to 20. I restored my evolution to the new one, Version 3.10.4 which ships with fedora. Since that time, evolution is not able to connect to my pop account. I configure my pop server as follows "pop.free.fr", hitting send/receive can not send nor receive. the message box that shows and disaappear very quickly, show me it it is searching [email protected] and not [email protected]

Thanks for your help

Hi, I have tried to set up a POP3 account using Evolution but to no avail! the server (my email provider) i need to connect to, to grab the emails requires a password but evolution does not provide anywhere for me to submit a password so evoution cannot connect to my email provider - it just bounces back with the message - The name org.freedesktop.secrets was not provided by any .service files.

anyone got any suggestions?

By: Augustine

is the only option to create user is from the server? Can I create and add users(just like signup) from the evolution? if yes, How can I create a user from Evolution?

I have one of my email accounts that because I left off the "m" in the .com ending in the return path, people are having sending response back to me.  So I simply need to get into my email accounts in Evolution and fix the incorrect one.  I used to be able to click on "options".  This tab does not exist in the 12. version of evolution.  So can you help me get in to make changes?

Why don't you address the collection account when it is displayed on the first setup screen? Not it's configuration but it's function in detail.

So for me this was a waste of my time and a black eye for someone.
