I have just tried setting up both POP and SMTP on Microsoft Outlook on my laptop... and they both work fine, it took me only a few minutes to do it. (I had to change port numbers to those noted on my ISP provider's website, and to enter the password to be used for SMTP (which there are entry boxes for in Outlook - it was all self-explanatory...) so I can only conclude that some changes are needed in Ubuntu Evolution... even IF a work- around is found (and clicking "Cancel" and trying again does NOT work), it's not really good enough that one can't open the program and just get on with it... Microsoft managed it! That's not being rude as Ubuntu has been great in many ways but I am shocked that a bug brought up years ago has not been worked on - not being able to get mail is VERY serious for many people. Please guys, escalate this one. Thanks Jules
