Stevie: Imap Inbox Does Not Sync, But Subfolders Do

[Epicaleb]

Thunderbird seemed to be unable to sync with IMAP/SMTP settings, so I tried to switch over to Outlook 2013.

 

Using the settings:

 

Username:

[name here]@twinklecode.org

 

IMAP server:

stevie.heliohost.org (Port 993)

 

SMTP server:

stevie.heliohost.org (Port 465)

 

Both were set to SSL.

 

Server is Stevie.

 

Outlook 2013 will test the login and send a test email; both tests pass. It then synchronizes all the subfolders (Junk, Drafts, Sent, etc.) of the inbox but not the main inbox itself.

 

Is there some setting I need to change somewhere? It's kind of bad when you can see all your emails except the ones in the inbox.

 

Thanks!

Try again without SSL.

 

As for your earlier attempt using thunderbird, thunderbird is not supported when secure settings are used due to an artificial restriction imposed by Mozilla (it'll work with unencrypted connections only).

Well, it worked! Thanks.

 

Hopefully, you guys can get SSL compatible with the major email clients again soon.

There's been some discussion behind the scenes about it. I'd like to see it too.

 

For now, if you're dying to use a secured connection, you need to use old software. Really old versions of Thunderbird do work properly here (v31.7 and older). Outlook 2010 also works.

Sounds good; thanks!

 

On that note, I think the SSL configuration also doesn't work with Outlook 2013.
