That doesn't sound that weird. *Sending* and *Receiving* are two entirely different operations. Receiving is POP/IMAP [and rarely blocked by firewalls], sending is SMTP [and almost always blocked by firewalls]. I believe if you run Evolution as "evolution --force-online" then Evolution will 'ignore' the network state provided by the NetworkManager session service and just 'assume' that it has a network connection. If you run "evolution --help" you can see the various run options. Verizon certainly does block SMTP. Hot-spotting through a phone generally stinks, they do not really provide you an ISP-like connection, it is more of an ISP-lite connection. ["lite" being a synonym for "crappy"]. -- Adam Tauno Williams System Administrator, OpenGroupware Developer, LPI / CNA Fingerprint 8C08 209A FBE3 C41A DD2F A270 2D17 8FA4 D95E D383 _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
