Evolution will not send

Alright here's one think you can do, delete the new account you made
and then make it again. Sometimes this works :) BUT PLEASE PLEASE
BACKUP YOUR EVOLUTION. You can do that by going to file -> backup
settings.

Alright so it seems like deleting the configuration doesn't work, try
this at certain places evolution requires you to use like secure
server stuff [1] it has been found that using the secure server or TLS
screws up stuff. Send me some of your config. (not your username and
password ;) ) and I will find more regarding that :D
