It doesn't change, in my 7.04 I don't modify nothing. (I'm using a gmail account which require different smtp port).

Thanks.

# Slackwarelife. It doesn't help me. I can't send mail, i have to set smtp to 587.

Will Farrington (wcfarrington) said : #4

In evolution, you'd set your smtp address as such:

smtp.FOO.com:587

So, in the case of Gmail, it'll be:

smtp.gmail.com:587

To Will.

If I do that I get : MAIL FROM-kommandoen mislykkedes: Ukendt.
in ubuntu 6.10 i do like you" smtp.tele2.dk:587" but not in 7.04 :-(

Massimo Forti (slackwarelife) said : #6

Massimo Forti (slackwarelife) said : #9

Sorry, but have you tryed to use smtp.tele2.dk:587 with TLS support ???
In my Evolution account I have this:

Me too, my evolution is 2.10.1, and my ubuntu is 7.04
I don't undestand because you have this problem.
You can rename the evolution config dir (/home/you_user/.ecolution), than restart the program and setting a new account and try to send a mail.

Thanks
