Presumable your SMTP server requires authentication. You can set this up in the Preferences-><account>->Sending Email dialogue. There's a tickbox for "Server requires authentication". You'll also need to indicate what kind. Use the "Check for supported types" button to see what the options are for your server. > Gmail works. I've got Ubuntu koala installed. You mean it works for sending as well as receiving? If so, you can use the Gmail SMTP service for all your mail, as long as your ISP isn't blocking it. See the Gmail help pages for setting this up. poc _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
