Mail Clients- For some reason the mail clients seem to handle the upgrade differently. when setting them up here is some helpful hints in case anyone ever does I believe this will save someone so extra work.
Using Claws mail I had that configured as Imap for a gmail account when I was using 32 bit lmde. It worked well in the 32 bit and never had an issue. Upgrading to 64 bit for some reason any new mails coming in after the upgrade generated a network error. After trying several things I ended up changing the server for receiving from IMAP to pop and then mail started working again as it did before. I don't know what the difference is but this will hopefully save some time.
The other issue I had was with Evolution using an Hotmail account. I kept getting an error receiving email. This was caused for some reason the Permissions will need to be changed before this will work.
This is just a little something that I learned and hopefully will save some one alot of time and trouble shooting when changing the email clients over.
open a terminal.
Code: Select all
sudo chown -R username:username /home/username
Code: Select all
sudo chmod -R 755 /home/username
Hope this has helped someone.
