Evolution cannot cancel Send/Receive process

[Fayer Michael]

When receiving email (e.g., by clicking 'Send/Receive' button), sometimes some mail accounts always receive and never stop, even clicking 'Cancel' buttons. This happens usually for some web mails, e.g., Gmail or Hotmail. This problem has existed for a very long time (at least since Ubuntu 9.04).

Current system:
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu oneiric (development branch)
Release: 11.10

The version of evolution is 3.2.0-0ubuntu2.

Hello

This bug affect me too, worse:
every time I run evolution, it is not possible to stop the send/receive process neither close evolution process, I have to kill it!

I use two mails:
-Exchange 2007 (pop3 protocol active) that "work" (I send and receive)
- @hotmail.com that "work" (I send and receive)

In the send/receive window, I can cancel the @hotmail process, but not the @exchange process

now I'm using Oneiric 11.10 , under ubuntu 10.10, same computer,
worked perfectly (I mean there wasn't that problem ;)

Current system:

lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 11.10
Release: 11.10

evolution 3.2.0

That problem come out upgrading to Ubuntu oneiric.

So I solved deleting the .local folder (and the others...), then reinstalling evolution.
I need to delete the .local folder to resolve the problem, only reinstalling evolution didn't solve.
I think that the problem was some config file and the cause was the upgrading process.

If someone need other informations, or the old config files, just ask :)

bye
