I uninstalled the DEB and installed the 3.42.2 Flatpak,

 

  • I uninstalled the DEB and installed the 3.42.2 Flatpak, and the same error message occurs when I attempt to send something using the WebMate account on 3.42.2.

    Is there something else I need to try or something I need to run by my email hosting provider?

    Once I resolve this issue, I’ll attempt to connect Evolution to Exchange and also see how that goes (plus I’ll re-connect my CalDAV and CardDAV servers).

    Thanks!

    Hi,
    I do not know. I do not use Ubuntu. What I know is that the Evolution
    depends on an evolution-data-server, which is used by multiple other
    components, thus updating Evolution means updating also other parts of
    the system. That's probably the main reason why the long term support
    distros hesitate to be up-to-date with the upstream Evolution (and I
    agree with that).

    Using the Flatpak will keep you on a safe side, it will not touch the
    system data, neither the on-the-host-installed Evolution itself, thus
    you can return back any time. The Flatpak is good for testing new
    versions too.
    Bye,
    Milan

        Hi,
    similar as in my first message in this thread, just the command is
    slightly different:

      $ CAMEL_DEBUG=imapx:io flatpak run org.gnome.Evolution

    The log contains raw communication between the server and the
    evolution. It does contain a lot of private information, in a free form
    or encoded in some blobs. Make sure you don't expose anything private.
    Even if the blob won't be readable by a human, it can be read by a
    machine, thus remove those if unsure.

    I won't need the whole log too. Simply run Evolution, wait until the
    output on the console stops, then send a message and include only the
    part when the message had been sent.

    By the way, will it fail also when you copy a message from an On This
    Computer account to the Sent folder in the affected account, please?
    That should use the same function as the message send. Just in case, I
    really mean from the On This Computer, because using a message in a
    folder of the same account can use different ways to copy the message.

    Thanks for the followup. I ran:

     $ CAMEL_DEBUG=imapx:io flatpak run org.gnome.Evolution

     This came back when sending the message:

    [imapx:B] I/O: '+ idling'

    This came back when moving a message from On My Computer to the Sent folder on the IMAP server:

    [imapx:B] I/O: ''
    [imapx:B] I/O: 'DONE'
    [imapx:B] I/O: ''
    [imapx:B] I/O: 'B00023 OK IDLE completed (new feature)'
    [imapx:B] I/O: 'B00024 SELECT Sent'

    [imapx:B] I/O: ''

    These error messages came back when I first started running the command and Evolution first launched, if this helps pinpoint anything:

    Gtk-Message: 17:59:48.157: Failed to load module "xapp-gtk3-module"

    (evolution.bin:26): e-mail-engine-WARNING **: 17:59:49.016: Failed to add service 'Sendmail' (sendmail): No provider available for protocol “sendmail”

    Gtk-Message: 17:59:49.831: Failed to load module "xapp-gtk3-module"

    Let me know if you need more tests run.

    Thanks!

        Hi,
    did you remove/redacted any of the above lines, please? After the
    APPEND, a stream of 954 bytes was supposed to be written to the server.

    I guess from that the server did not respond in an expected way.
    Looking at the RFC3501, the APPEND example [1] shows a "+" server
    response being expected, to confirm it's ready to receive the data.

    It would be interesting to know whether other folders behave the same.
    When you search the log there are CAPABILITY/CAPABILITIES requests and
    responses, where the server sometimes advertises information about
    itself, like what it is and its version.
        Bye,
        Milan

    Thanks for the followup. I didn’t remove/redact any of the above lines. I could re-run the test and send you the link to the complete log if you need to see it, that way you’d have access to the log to search on. I’ver found a way to run the test without exposing too much personal information, so I’d be willing to try that and send you back the full log if need be (I could provide a link to download it so I’m not dumping the entire log contents here.

    Thanks!

        Hi,
    okay, no need to send the whole log then.

    Could you search for the CAPABILITY/CAPABILITIES line, to see whether
    the server advertises what it is, please?

    Also, try to copy a message from a different account to another folder
    of the affected account, and also to the Sent folder of the affected
    account. I suppose the copy (the APPEND command) will fail with the
    Sent folder, but I'm not sure whether it'll work or not with other than
    the Sent folder.

    I don't recall seeing that line in the log (but I don't have the log in front of me at the moment).

    When I disable storing items in a Sent folder, the error message goes away (it just doesn't store my sent mail). Since this is my personal inbox, should I proceed with the re-test, or should I just not opt to store sent messages? Since this is my personal inbox, it isn't quite as urgent.

    My email hosting provider did the same tests, but they couldn't duplicate my error.

    Thanks!

        Hi,
    it's up to you. I'd like to verify whether regular message addition
    (the APPEND command) reproduces the problem, both in the Sent folder
    and in other folders on that account, but that's probably the most we
    can do about it.

    Alternatively try the same with another mail client, like Claws Mail,
    Geary or Thunderbird. The important part is to use the APPEND command,
    because copy messages between folders of the same account can use other
    commands to do the job. It's also possible the other clients will
    ignore the empty line response (which had been shown in your logs).

    By the way, you can store Sent messages in other folder/account, like
    under the On This Computer/Sent folder. No need to lost the history.

    Sounds good. I can go ahead and proceed with the test so you can see what's going on.

    If you can remind me of what Terminal command I need to run and what specific steps I need to take for this, that would be great. In the troubleshooting steps I performed with my email hosting provider on this, much of our previous conversation was wiped out, so I'm not seeing some of our past conversation history on the commands/steps I need to run.

    Thanks!

        Hi,
    it seems you run a development version under Flatpak. I hope you are
    aware that the development version can have its own bugs. Any early
    testing is appreciated, I only wanted to mention it.

    If you have more IMAP accounts configured, then disable all but the
    affected account. That will help to not mix debugging output from
    multiple accounts. Once done, close Evolution, then run from a
    terminal:

      $ flatpak kill org.gnome.Evolution
      $ CAMEL_DEBUG=imapx:io flatpak run org.gnome.Evolution

    Once the output stops adding, drag a message from an On This Computer
    folder to one of the IMAP account's folder. You should see in the log
    an APPEND command, whose progress and result is important. After that
    drop a message into the IMAP's Sent folder, whether it'll fail or work
    as when sending messages. The debug log should have added another
    APPEND command. Make sure you won't expose anything private from the
    log. Even if you cannot decipher some blobs, they can be decoded by a
    machine and expose your credentials or any other thing, thus, if
    unsure, rather replace the blobs with XXXXX or similar.
        Bye,
        Milan
