Hi Paul,

The issue is, I set up my evolution mail incorrectly for hotmail. I wish to re-configure my mistake by ensuring the smpt for sending e-mail is correct.

I am unsure how to go back and correct the sending of my e-mail because currently there are 3 emails in my outbox that are not being sent.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Jon

To access your Evolution Mail settings open Evolution. Then under the Edit Menu at the top left of the screen select Preferences. A window will open. On the left select Mail Accounts. Select your account. It will highlight. Select Edit. After that just change things.

This is how I accessed my Evolution Mail in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I don't know if it has changed with newer releases. I'm no Linux expert.

I'm having a problem getting Evolution to send messages in my hotmail account. I've done everything suggested in the installation tutorials yet it won't send messages. I'm awaiting help in the Ubuntuforums.org site.

Good luck.
