I've set up Claws as an alternative to Seamonkey (my normal email client), using IMAP to google mail. I'm able to access messages on gmail without too many problems (though it was a pain to set up). However, any attempt to send a message using Claws fails. The log doesn't help me much, maybe someone else will be able to tell me what is wrong?

Is anyone using Claws in IMAP mode with Gmail?

Paul.

I can confirm that claws doesn't work right with gmail. I get many errors like these:

Code: Select all

** (claws-mail:26624): WARNING **: [18:51:41] IMAP error on imap.gmail.com: STATUS error
** (claws-mail:26624): WARNING **: [20:16:58] IMAP error on imap.gmail.com: stream error
** (claws-mail:26624): WARNING **: [20:16:58] IMAP4 connection broken
** (claws-mail:26624): WARNING **: [18:49:43] IMAP error on imap.gmail.com: SELECT error

It takes ages to change from one folder to another. Sending an email takes a long time and although there is no error message the email doesn't get send.

You may like to use smtp.gmail.com instead of smpt.gmail.com.

You wouldn't believe the number of times I looked at the account details without seeing that.

Thanks. Very slow, but it does now send. I'll have to see if I can build the HTML viewer plugin for it, since I seem to get endless HTML mail these days. Otherwise, it looks like it may be a viable alternative to Seamonkey.

Don't know why its so slow though....

Paul.
