@BabyGeek: the answerer's team search someone for managing evolution. Could you be interested ? The answering ratio is too low.

@BabyGeek
If you go to this URL:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+answer-contact
you will subscribe "evolution" packet and receive by e-mail an alert when a question is linked to "evolution".
The triage is mainly done by Marco Braida, Eliah Kagan and my-self. Actionparsnip is very active but do few links.
I will warned Marco that someone subscribed the packet, so it will make an extra effort to associate question to this packet.
You should receive around one question per day.
I advise you to subscribe every question you answer, on "evolution" or not. By following a question to its end, you will learn a lot.
If you are interested in other areas, tell it me.
You can access list of "evolution" question with: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution

So, @segun folorunsho :
SMTP Server address of Hotmail is smtp.live.com (port 25 with SSL).

@segun folorunsho
Apparently smtp.live.com:25 doesn't work, edit your SMTP settings and type in "Server" smtp.live.com:587, check the box "Server requires authentication", select "TLS" in "Use secure connection", in "Authentification" > "Type", select "PLAIN", in "Username" type your email address !
