I don't think this is it, unless Evo is somehow polling a lot more frequently than before: I don't notice this behavior on my other system running Evo 3.6.4 accessing the exact same account. For example this morning I got up (my system was running overnight) and I see that my ISP IMAP mailbox is full of stuff, but my gmail mailbox is empty. This seems unlikely, and sure enough if I start gmail I see I have 3 emails, the earliest of which appeared at 12:01am (8 hours ago). And yet, no amount of clicking "Send/Receive" in Evolution gets it to notice those emails. I have exactly the same receive options checked as Patrick (I think this is the default and I haven't changed the default). Let me ask this: is there something special that Evolution does if it detects that the account is on GMail, by looking at the email address to see if it's @gmail.com? Because here's the thing: I have a company email account hosted by gmail. So it's a gmail account and I use the normal gmail IMAP settings, but the email address is not @gmail.com it's something else. This account is the one having problems with Evolution 3.11. But I also have a personal gmail account @gmail.com and as far as I can tell this one works OK. Of course another possibility is that somehow Evolution's database for that account is corrupted or similar, and it's not related to gmail at all. I tried vacuuming it the other day and it worked fine (no errors) for what it's worth. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
