Same here too, beginning after an upgrade which changed Evolution to version 3.6.2
I have about 8 different email accounts and found that the numerous "fetching mail" and "retrieving POP summary" notifications at the bottom of the screen which keep me from viewing my mail can be eliminated by clicking on the "Send/Receive" down arrow, and pointing, but not clicking on any of the choices it provides. All the "fetching mail" and/or "retrieving POP summary" messages then disappear and I can then view my emails, and I can retrieve new emails by using "Send/Receive" and clicking on each account individually. The accounts are set up with a staggered interval of time between downloads in an attempt to not try and access them simultaneously. My Yahoo account is and always has been set to IMAP+. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evolution in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/880657 Title: stuck retrieving emails from IMAP Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Evolution starts fine, collects email messages.
