I run an up to date wheezy box.  I upgraded to the 3.2.2 version of evolution
that just hit wheezy.  Now my email is totally broken.  I use imapx and connect
to imap.aim.net.  Checking for new mail just spins and never finishes.  When I
click on a folder I get the error: "Unable to retrieve message. Could not
connect to imap.aim.net: Input/output error"  I don't see an Inbox folder in
the imap account.

Before the upgrade this morning, mail was working fine.  Except for the double
Inbox folders which is an old bug.

I am able to send email from Evolution using my remote IMAP email
account, and the sent email is stored in the "Sent Items" folder on the
remote server. I determined this by viewing the folders on the remote
server via a Web interface, which also confirms that the remote server
is working.

I have the same problem. I also lost all the setup on my mailboxes, such
as which fields to display in the index.

I can access mail on the IMAP server on my local subnet.

I cannot access mail at a remote IMAP server.

I performed a full dist-upgrade on my box last week. Evolution was
working fine. After dist-upgrade today, Evolution is broken.

This should have preceded my other post, but I think it wasn't accepted
because I cut and pasted the subject from the original bug report, and
it looked like a duplicate message.

This problem is a result of the upgrade not picking up all the
preferences settings from the previous version. Edit
Preferences->MailAccounts->ReceivingOptions and uncheck the box under
Folders the says "Show only subscribed folders". THis makes all the
folders on the remote server appear. I don't even know what a
"subscribed" folder is, or how to subscribe or unsubscribe to a folder,
but I can see my inbox now.
