• Evolution does not communicate

    Hello.

    Sick of ThunderBird's slowness and bugginess, I'm trying other clients
    and this time it's Evolution.

    I installed it and configured an IMAP account, but at startup I get the message "Scanning folders in IMAP server...", a spinning wheel and
    that's all; after a while "Socket I/O timeout" appears.
    tcpdump shows no network traffic.

    Is something else needed in order to make it work?
    Some service that needs configuring?

    Notice I use XFCE, not GNOME. Is this a supported setup?

    bye & Thanks
    av.
