Public bug reported: Comcast/Xfinity is pushing us to go to IMAP instead of POP, so trying to do this. Setting up an evolution IMAP account to imap.comcast.net is all that is needed to reproduce this. Keep getting a message from evolution about imap.comcast.net disconnecting on a ping. Want to know if this indicates a real problem or is just an artifact of incompatibility between ubuntu evolution and comcast/xfinity, and CAN BE IGNORED.
Error reads as follows: "Error while Pinging IMAP server imap.comcast.net. Server unexpectedly disconnected. Connection timed out." Evolution info: 3.2.3 Ubuntu info: 12.04 (precise) kernel info: 3.13.0-55-generic I am reporting this as a bug because Ubuntu Software Center says: "Canonical provides critical updates for Evolution Mail and Calendar until April 2017." ** Affects: evolution (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1467498 Title: evolution imap with comcast gets ping error To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/1467498/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
