Tips and tricks on the Evolution mail client for Linux.
If you have two mail accounts that use different ports for IMAP or SSL it will want to use the port number for whichever account you configured first for both accounts. You can work around this by adding a :port to the end of the hostname (eg. mail.spack.org:25).
Also there was a known bug in some versions of Evolution which effects you when you are trying to send draft messages and your settings have changed since you saved the message. Here's the work-a-round:
Let me guess, you are trying to send messages that were placed into the Outbox when you had Use SSL enabled? Common bug in 1.0.x... here's how to fix: Use your favourite text editor to edit the ~/evolution/local/Outbox/mbox file (make sure Evolution is not running) and remove the X-Evolution-Transport header from every message. Save the file and restart Evolution, now press Send&Receive and the messages should send fine. (btw, this is fixed in CVS) Jeff On Wed, 2002-05-29 at 06:39, Dominik Sandjaja wrote: > Hello, > > I have the problem, that I switched my smtp-server to "use SSL" once but > it didn't work 'cause my freemail-provider doesn't support it.
