Interesting…

Could be that the command isn’t implemented on the server, but evo should
handle that gracefully as well.

I’m actually using PAN for my normal usage - but the version of evo I
checked with is 2.28.2 on 11.2 here.

Looking at the logfile (I have it set up for e-mail as well, so there’s a
lot of extra junk that comes in), 2.28.2 doesn’t issue an over command,
just an xover command.

Here is my bug report if you want to follow up → https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=644367

2.32.1 on 11.4 also has the same issue, just tested that as well.

I found your bug and added some info to it - it looks like Evolution
doesn’t check to see what the server considers to be valid commands; OVER
is (I believe) deprecated in favor of XOVER, and it seems that Highwinds
(the makers of our NNTP server software) didn’t implement it since they
implemented XOVER.

Thank you :slight_smile: I will use thunderbird until the bug gets fixed. Or maybe
forever. I am sending this from thunderbird just to try it out :slight_smile:

I can confirm that it’s working. :slight_smile:

I’ve also suggested we submit a bug to the maker of our server’s software
since it also seems that it shouldn’t just hang up on an invalid command.

This bug has been resolved here:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=644367

Can anyone do the patching and make an rpm for this, because I don’t know how to do that…

It’s already being worked on. :slight_smile: The fix is in a current version, so we
have to find out about backporting it.

Hi
I’ve got 11.4 patched, 11.3 needs some more work, once that’s done I
will push back to the update people for review.
