I/O error while fetching mail

Asked by Lorenzo F.

Hi everybody,
I need to download from scratch all the messages from my yahoo mailbox (more than 5000 messages).

Now, with about only 140 messages to go I get this error everytime I try to download the progress indicator states "failed on message 143" and than the fetching stops. The error message is (in italian).

Errore durante «Ricezione posta».
Impossibile ricevere il messaggio: ACm9ktkAALIoRs+Ljw8XHVN/0iQ: Errore di I/O

In english the message should be like:

"Error while fetching mail"
Unable to receive the message: <code>: I/O error.

The home folder is okay, with lot of free space (10 Gb) and the .evolution folder size is 633Mb.

yahoo may be limiting what you can download from them per day/week/month, if thats the case you can just wait a day or two and try again. If it is something wrong with that specific email then you will have to delete that one using the webmail interface first.
