Geary does not synchronise mails

[Tanmay Shetty]

Geary mail has not been able to login to my mail account and fails to synchronise mails.
I tried to relogin to my account and it shows connection error.I suddenly started to experience the same problem in geary 0.2.2.

Geary today doesn't handle connection errors very well. We have that ticketed here:
http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/5281

In your debug log, I'm seeing a number of "No address associated with hostname" errors. This typically indicates a DNS problem.

A couple of things to try to resolve this:
* Check /etc/hosts to see if there's any malformed entries.
* Switch to a different DNS server
* In Network Manager delete your connection and recreate it (this resets all the connection settings.)

tanmay, are you still seeing this problem?

[Tanmay Shetty (tannyshetty007)]

Jim Nelson ,yes I am still having this problem .

[Jim Nelson (yorba-jim)]

I spotted this in your debug:

Connect failure: Error resolving '': No address associated with hostname

This is a known problem. Please go to System Settings -> Network -> Network proxy. If it's set to Manual and the fields are blank, then set it to None and try Geary again.

Does that help?

[Tanmay Shetty (tannyshetty007)]

Yes that solved my problem .
Network proxy was set to Automatic,changing it to None solved the problem.
Thank you .
