I have an gmail account and use evolution to pull down the emails to my linux box.
All was fine until Gmail said my account was blocked and I had to turn on untrusted sites.
After that when I hit the send/receive button in evolution it pulls down the emails I sent out over five years ago and puts them in my inbox. Evolution does not pull down my recent gmail emails even though I have not changed the gmail setting from when it was working correctly. I’ve tried reinstalling evolution on another linux box but it still does the same thing.
Can you please help me.

It sounds like there might be an issue with the synchronization between your Gmail account and Evolution, possibly due to some configuration or authentication issues. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:
- Check your Gmail account settings: Login to your Gmail account through a web browser and check your account settings to ensure that your account is properly configured for email retrieval. Check the settings for IMAP/POP access and ensure that they are enabled.
- Check the Evolution account settings: Check the account settings in Evolution to ensure that the correct server and authentication settings are in place. You may need to adjust the settings to match the Gmail account configuration.
- Re-authenticate your Gmail account: Try removing and re-adding your Gmail account in Evolution. This will require you to re-enter your account credentials, which will force a fresh authentication and may resolve any authentication issues.
- Clear Evolution cache: Clear the cache and data for Evolution and try again. You may need to delete and recreate your Evolution account after clearing the cache.
- Contact Gmail support: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, you may need to contact Gmail support to check if there are any issues with your account. They may be able to help you troubleshoot the issue further.
I hope one of these steps helps resolve your issue. If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to ask.
