Ubuntu
evolution package

unable to send e-mails with Evolution

Asked by Wise

Binary package hint: evolution

I have acumulated 51 messages in the outbox. When I click Send and Receive, a box appears that says: Sending and Receiving, smtp:gmail.com, sending message 1 -51. Then nothing else happens.
I am using Ubuntu 8.4 and Firefox browser.

It looks like from the brief info you've provided you have your gmail.com smtp server set as smtp:gmail.com rather than smtp.gmail.com (which it should be). Check out this page for more inf: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=13287

Please make sure that you are using TLS and port 587 rather than port 25

To set port 587 in evolution

smtp.gmail.com:587

Hope this helps
