#657 Cannot set up new mail server as IMAP

[Jason Weill]

Downloaded and unpacked Columba 1.0 on Mac OS X 10.4.2
(PowerPC) with Java 1.4.2_09-232. In the window to set
up a new mail server, tried to click the drop-down box
in which POP3 is selected. No list of options
appeared, and I was unable to select IMAP in any way.
I tried to create the account as POP3 anyway and change
it to IMAP in the mail settings window, but found no
option to do so. I have not been able to start using
Columba because I cannot set up either of my IMAP mail
servers to work on it.

Try this one:

The instructions on that forum resolve this bug, though I now get an error
upon startup:

Error while trying to load MacOS Look and Feel.
Switching back to default.

After I click "OK," Columba loads and I can create a new IMAP mail account.

Can you please go to Edit->General Options and select the
Mac theme from the Look and Feel drop down? This should give
you the complete Mac support.
I would appreciate it if you could then check again in your
Options.xml after shuting columba down and tell me what is
now in the LookAndFeel option?
Then i can update the forum and add a fallback ro the code
if Mac is the platform.

Thanks a lot!
