[opensuse] iimap server missing in kmail
I've set up dovecot as my mail server and have created an imap account for it. However, kmail only shows the local folder and not the imap server. Does anyone know what's going on? I'd be grateful for any advice. Thanks Eddie -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Why would it? You have to tell kmail to add your imap server. Unless you mean something else :-? - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

LOL. Of course, I've added my imap server. Thanks. I'm sorry that the information that I gave was so incomplete. I had dovecot running on opensuse 13.1 and used the latest version of KDE and kmail. I upgraded to opensuse 13.2 via the upgrade option on the DVD. I discovered that dovecot was not installed so I reinstalled it. However, after I configured it in kmail, it did not show up, only the local folders. I checked dovecot in systemctl and its status seemed okay. In frustration I reinstalled 13.1 but I really want to upgrade so here I am in the process of installing 13.2 again. If it still doesn't appear, I will query further but I hope that I've given you a better picture of what I am puzzled about. Thanks. Much appreciate the response.

So systemctl status dovecot.service gave you an active imap-server. This does not mean that it is working as it should. Did you use the command "ss -tnlp" to check that the imap server is listening on port 143 and 993? Are you using the imap server from a remote client? If so, did you open the ports in the firewall? Did you use the checks on http://wiki2.dovecot.org/TestInstallation to really check it is working as expected. You have to do these checks from the system on which you have your client. When you configure your imap server in KMail did you use autodetect in the Advanced tab, when you Edit the configuration and when that's OK press Server Information? -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Well after reinstalling 13.2 and a careful re-configuration of dovecot, it is all working. In the end, I think that the problem was more to do with a mis- configured imap server than a bug in kmail.

Yes, the DVD doesn't contain everything.

Well, in this case it is impossible to troubleshoot.
