Icedove stopped sending and receiving e-mail
I've just had a rather bad time with my Debian/Jessie AMD64 system. I
had to reset it yesterday after a hardware-related lockup (it doesn't
like my optical drive connected to an add-in PCIe SATA card - usually
freezes after writing an ISO image to DVD). The lockup wouldn't
respond to sysrq so I needed the reset button.
Trying to get back up was painful. I finally got it back by reverting
to SysV Init, which fortunately was an option on the Grub menu.
However now that it's running, I'm having a weird problem with
Icedove. I can't receive e-mail on any of the accounts it's configured
to check. Moreover, I have three accounts that it's not showing the
inbox, etc. for. These are all configured for pop e-mail and the
e-mail folders are all on a single NFS share that is also used by the
accounts that are showing the inboxes, etc..
The e-mail in the folders that I can see are complete - back to the
time the machine froze, but nothing since.
Interestingly, when I try to Get Messages on an account, I get the
status bar message <e-mail account>: Connected to <pop server name>.
I tried uninstalling and re-installing Icedove but nothing changed.
I can access the accounts via their web-mail interfaces.
I tried sending this message via Icedove but it failed to send. I just
get the "sending message" box and status bar.
Any ideas?
