Sorry.. poor description on my part.

I write the email, go through the process of attaching the file, I see the
attachment in the attachements bar. Upon clicking send, while waiting the
indeterminate amount of time ( varies per service ), I see
in the send status section the text "Uploading Files".

The error across  4 different email services  is a dialog which says

An error occurred while sending. How do you want to proceed?
The reported error was  "Could not connect to  < service >  Socket I/O
timed out".

 and today .. it is  happening on all emails.   When I wrote the original
email it was only happening on  emails
with attachments.

The confusing part is that  NOTHING else is having issues.   As I write
this I've started  ssh connections to  6 machines in
6 different data centers ( 3 different cloud services ),  started and
stopped  vpns to 6 different countries,  slack is running to
5 different channels and probably a dozen other things relying on
connectivity, but none of them having issues

Testing starting from a terminal, rather than the Mint menu is on schedule
this afternoon.  Customer meetings for the next 4 hours.

Yesterday.  attachments only .. jpg, png and pdf, all failed.   Today,
everything is failing from Evolution, which is why this email
is coming through  Gmail  web interface ( 0 for 6 email attempts from
Evolution this morning).
