Error connecting to POP or IMAP

[Pedro Gauna]

I'm having errors when launch CloudSN.
I've attached the app's log.

[Pedro Gauna (lapega)]

I've finded a workaround:

- open CloudSN window
- click in an account
- click in edit button
- click in Ok

Have you configured the correct server port for SSL? That error can appear when you configure an SSL connection to a port without SSL support

I have the same problem of Pedro. I used the same configuration used for evolution:
Provider: POP 3
host: the same used in evolution pop.fastwebnet.it
user: the username of my mail account
password: the same
port: 110
use SSL: no
The Pedro's workaround works for me too

I'll try to see if there is an error in the ssl configuration, perhaps it is losing the ssl value...

[perriman (chuchiperriman)]

ahhhhh!!! Does the problem appear when you have updated to 0.5.14? I fixed a bug with the SSL because it has always enabled and when you update to 0.5.14 the ssl configuration doesn't exists.

If you edit the account and save again (only the first time), it must work fine forever. Can you confirm it??

[Pedro Gauna (lapega)]

Confirmed!

[alessandro19680 (alessandro-sisti-fastwebnet)]

Not at all. Whenever i shut down and restart the program, for a correct operation of the program, i must repeat the change of account

[Pedro Gauna (lapega)]

Yes, It's happening again... (cloudnsn 0.5.16)

[alessandro19680 (alessandro-sisti-fastwebnet)]

me too (cloudsn 0.5.16)

[giorgio dolfo (giorgio.dolfo)]

confirm the same bug with pop3 account. (cloudsn 0.5.16)

[perriman (chuchiperriman)]

POP3 implementation need a looooooot of love. The POP3 protocol is the worst protocol even written :)

In the next release I'll rewrite the POP3 provider based on specto

[giorgio dolfo (giorgio.dolfo)]

Good idea, specto works perfectly with the POP3 protocol. I tried to produce feedback for cloudsn http://forum.ubuntu-it.org/index.php/topic,393436.0.html.

[Myzeus (myzeus)]

Same problem in Cloudsn 0.5.12 on IMAP4 Accounts. I use the workaround already mentioned by Pedro Gauna.

[Pedro Gauna (lapega)]

Another workaround:

IMAP
open (as root) /usr/share/pyshared/cloudsn/providers/imapprovider.py,
and change line 96 to "self.ssl = False"

POP3
open (as root) /usr/share/pyshared/cloudsn/providers/pop3provider.py
and change line 76 to "ssl = False"

[perriman (chuchiperriman)]

I think that is working on the development branch (trunk) If you want, you can download it from github and try it. If it works for you, please, make me know!
