That's all one usually needs but Evolution doesn't help.
Which is why I said 'thanks for the warning'. I was going to try Kmail,
but I'm told (by staff at my ISP) that the new version is not an improvement on the old one - quite the reverse in their opinion.
I quite like claws. Clean and simple. Tbird seems to be getting a bit bloated. Evolution is horrible IMO.
Personally I use mutt but that doesn't help with my original question.
Searching in the .evolution directory I found the file:-
.evolution/cache/tmp/mail.log.mhqCsP
Which contains the current evolution session errors and there one sees the reasons:-
0:1294403668:Error while Refreshing folder. 0:1294403668:Host lookup failed: pop3.isbd.co.uk: Name or service not known
So why just "Error while Refreshing folder" appears on the status line is anybody's guess as it's completely useless. It's particularly silly in cases like the following:-
0:1294403728:Error while Moving messages into folder Inbox archive/NYA/TYOT. 0:1294403728:Cannot append message to mbox file: /home/maxine/.evolution/mail/local/Inbox archive.sbd/NYA.sbd/TYOT: Network is unreachable
What it actually means is that it can't get the message you have asked to move from the remote IMAP server, reporting "Error while Moving messages into folder Inbox archive/NYA/TYOT" (where TYOT is a local folder) is plain misleading.
