Hi all,
I'm trying to use Evolution to fetch mail from gmail account.
I configured Evo 2.12.3 (from Fedora 8) to use IMAP or POP but the
result is the same:
It seems SSL is not used (or similar issue on auth fase).
I receive an error from evo
for POP the error is: -ERR [AUTH] Username and password not accepted.
Insert the password for xxx.xxx(a)gmail.com on
pop.gmail.com
for IMPA the error is: [ALERT] Web login required (Failure)
Insert password for xxx.xxx@gmail.com(a)imap.gmail.com
I'm sure that the user and password are correct. I changed password to
be more sure.
Someone can help me understanding the problem?
Are you using imap.gmail.com:993 with SSL for receiving and
smtp.gmail.com:465 with SSL for sending? That's what works for me (Evo
version 2.22.3 on F9). The Gmail Help page has full information.

PS "Works" is a relative term here. "Mostly works" is closer to the
truth because Evo occasionally loses contact with Gmail and has to be
restarted to get it back. I don't know if this is an Evo problem or a
Gmail one.
