Hello Ubuntu community, I have issue with email client Geary. When i try to validate account it doesn't validate it. I'm using Latvian mail service - inbox.lv. I have no trouble to use my mail accounts in Thunderbird in Elementary Luna, but Geary won't validate it. I even used same IMAP/SMTP setting wich i use in Thunderbird. After trying to validate account after 3 minutes of connecting i get this: "Unable to validate: IMAP connection error; SMTP connection error".

Mail provides me with this info: Incoming mail(POP3/POP3s)

 - E-mail address: - POP3 server: mail.inbox.lv POP3 server’s port: 110 (by default) POP3s server’s port: 995 (more info about POP3s) - SMTP server: mail.inbox.lv SMTP server’s port: 25(by default) or STMP server`s port: 587* SMTP server’s port with TLS support: 25 or 587* (more info about TLS)
* Some Internet Service Providers block port 25. It is possible for Inbox.lv users to send messages through mail.inbox.lv using port 587. - Username: login

Soo, guys, any idea to fix this issue? Thank you.

Geary does not support POP3, you will need an email server that supports IMAP.

(There's a ticket for adding POP3 support to Geary if anyone's interested in contributing a patch!)
