I use Thunderbird and all is well.

Have you checked if that account works with other mail clients like Thunderbird/Claws?
Sometimes their IMAP is broken.

Problem with mailwatch plugin and list of IMAP folders

dummy@example.com (ricardo) — Fri, 07 Sep 2012 10:42:59 +0000

[xubuntu 12.04]

The plugin is able load the list of folders ('New Mail Folders' button) when connecting to a GMail IMAP account.

However, there is a problem with another IMAP account of mine, namely FastMail.fm

While I am notified of new mail in the Inbox folder of this account, the plugin fails to load the list of IMAP folders. The server is mail.messagingengine.com. I tried both port 993 with the 'INBOX' prefix, and port 992 with a blank prefix, to no avail. In the logs, we see a connection timeout.

Any idea what might be wrong ?
