All,
This is somewhat frustrating. I'm trying to setup Thunderbird to connect to
gmail to pull down my messages. I'm attempting to do it through IMAP. I
followed the instructions from here:
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=77662
Only problem is I get a timeout to imap.gmail.com. Every time. I can ping
imap.gmail.com without problems. I can telnet to port 993, It doesn't appear
to be network issues.
I created an imap log file from following these instructions:
http://www-archive.mozilla.org/quality/mailnews/mail-troubleshoot.html#imap
but the file is zero bytes. Wireshark shows the packets going across, and
there aren't any errors. It seems there is some kind of problme with
thunderbird.
Anybody see any problems connecting thunderbird to imap under ubuntu?
Anybody have suggestions on where to go next?
thanks,
