It's true. It's even worse here in Honduras. But really, Evolution goes through the process of downloading mail from my Gmail account, and then it says it found, say, two messages from my other account, and just waits until it shows an error message that basically says the connection timed out. If I pop that account from the winbox using outlook express, it downloads the messages fine, so the server is not down. So I'm really baffled.
Try fetchmail.
It's similar to a daemon, or runs from a console, it only fetches and then forwards to postfix for local delivery. But it writes very verbose logs if you ask it to. (...) - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
I tried using Kmail and Thunderbird with exactly the same results. So it was evident it was not an Evolution problem. I googled some more for a different subject and then I found a page saying that MTU value could be the problem. As root, I used "ping -f -l 1500 192.168.0.1" (that is my winbox's IP) and sure enough, there was a message "WARNING: probably, rcvbuf is not enough to hold preload.". I kept trying lower values until I reached 576 for MTU. I went to Yast and set it for eth1, and now, everything works fine. Maybe it will help others with similar problem.
