RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:

evolution version shipped with el7 does not work at all with most of university IMAP services around here; they seem to share the same Perl Net::IMAP::Server based backend.

A couple of days ago

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

evolution-data-server-3.8.5-8.el7.x86_64

Additional info:

I've prepared a fix that's in upstream Git now; I'd be thankful if you could cherry-pick it. Thank you!

https://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution-data-server/commit/?id=7b0b0de99a2943838b08560f11d7fdf5dac7d422

Sure, can be. Do you have an environment and steps for QA to test the change properly, please?

Well, best idea would be to ask someone who studies at Masaryk University to try to do the test :)

I've not been able to identify a version of the broken Net::IMAP::Server, therefore I crafted a deliberately broken version here:

https://github.com/lkundrak/net-imap-server

1.) Install required modules:
    yum -y install perl-CPAN && cpan Net::IMAP::Server
2.) Run the example server from the checkouted version:
    perl -Ilib ex/trivial-server.pl
3.) Configure Evolution
    Connect to port 9930 with SSL/TLS enabled with any username/password

You should see a message "From:	jesse" in INBOX with the fixed version (or the last commit from the repository reverted).

I've installed the updated package and can confirm the problem is now gone (tested both with real server and the reproducer from comment #3).

Thank you.
