Description of problem: I have evo configured to use IMAP for my gmail account. When accessing my lkml folder, it gets to approximately 15% and then reports that the server unexpectedly disconnected. This started happening recently. Evo has been working fine with this setup for a couple months and last week it started doing this for the lkml folder only. As an aside, claws-mail works fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution-2.22.1-2.fc9.i386 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start evo 2. Try to access the lkml folder 3. Wait a few minutes for it to timeout Actual results: Times out, no messages displayed. Expected results: Access works fine. Additional info: After this started I trimmed some of the older emails in the folder via the webmail interface to see if that had an impact. It doesn't seem to have.

About how many messages are in this folder?

Hmm, strange. I have at least that many in my fedora-devel-list folder on our local IMAP server. Maybe this is GMail-specific. I assume this is all just mailing-list traffic, nothing personal. Do you think you could export the folder to an mbox file using Claws and attach it? I'll see if I can reproduce the connection drop on my own GMail account.

Davej helped out and made a lkml mbox of comparable size for us. You can find it at: http://davej.fedorapeople.org/lkml.mbox.bz2
Upstream bug describes the same issue with a GMail account: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=529199 Starting to sound like this is indeed GMail-specific.
I've been having trouble just /uploading/ that mbox to my GMail account through Evolution. GMail seems persnickety about large transfers in either direction. Will try uploading with Thunderbird.
For shiggles and gits I tried using mutt over the weekend. It would also crap out when trying to access my lkml folder. Doing a bit of googling seemed to suggest that the mutt people blamed it on gnutls. If they build it against openssl instead, it works fine (reportedly). https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutt/+bug/105736 Does evolution use gnutls or openssl?

This magically went away.
