Geary problem. What email client do you use on the L5

No matter what, Geary will always complain about not having a internet connection on the L5 when trying to set it up. Anyone else having this issue?

I do not use the app Geary but you could use tcpdump in the terminal or even better in a SSH session to nail this down.

in the terminal app.

Do you mean that you do have an internet connection but Geary fails to complete setup, complaining that you don’t have an internet connection?

I don’t know whether it helps at all but you can probably create the setup (config file for each account) by hand. It’s just a text file - but you would probably need one working example to work from.

Hello, I have set up Geary and I could receive/send emails without this error message. I use a home email app, not a cloud provider.
Did you set up the accounts correctly ? I say that because I remember having issues during IMAP/SMTP setup when I filled a name in the name field and had error messages until I removed this parameter.
