Creating new account: display & imap problem

[prtiller]

Binary package hint: evolution

When I create a new account the first choice for server-type (receiving email) is IMAP. All my accounts are IMAP, so I don't touch anything, filling the following fields. At the end of configuration I found that the account is configured with POP server, NOT Imap.

2) After fixing the above settings, Evolution prompted me for password, and then start downloading and sync mailboxes, BUT does not display the account on the left column. I must quit and re-open Evolution, and then the new account is displayed.

System: Ubuntu 9.10- the Karmic Koala - released in October 2009 and supported until April 2011.
Running under PARALLELS 5 for MAC virtual machine.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Lucid Lynx. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.

On both Lucid (when it first came out at least) and Maverick, when I create a new account in evolution, which I know should be IMAP, I select the IMAP option in the dialog box. Then, it creates a POP account. This seems wrong. :) I don't know about #2 from OP.

Whatever info you need, I'd be happy to provide.
