16.04 LTS changed email server won't allow evolution

Asked by Steve Atkatz

Upgraded from 14.04 LTS to 16.04 LTS . Evolution email which was supplied with 14.04 doesn't connect any more. Msgs, Contacts, & Calendar are all still there but I can neither receive or send email. Now I must use server "mail.optimum.net" and have been unable to move my history from Evolution. My address has been <email address hidden> since forever [Gateway desktop & Compuserve].
I would love to either enable Evolution again, or move my data from there to mail.optimum.net.

What do I do now?

Thx in advance,
Steve

Can you ping the email server?
Can you telnet to port 25 on the server name?

Can you help with this problem?
