I am using Evolution 1.4 running redhat enterprise edition on my laptop. I am having a problem changing my smtp outgoing server settings. Despite changing the setting, applying the change, exiting evolution, forcing evolution to terminate with evolution-1.4 --force-shutdown and restarting, it continues to use the previously set smtp settings I have tried disabling and reenabling the account to no avail.
I get a message :Error while performing operation: MAIL FROM response error: Authentication required - probably because it is still trying to go to the previously associated server. (tcpdump verifies this.) This smtp server name that is definately NOT in the settings configuration any longer. (At least from the evolution settings interface). Does anyone have suggestions for how I might force evolution to accept this change or what might be the cause of this problem? Thank you in advance for any help. [Another triage point: After changing the server and going through all the steps mentioned in paragraph 1 above, the send/receive mail message still indicated that it was going to the old.smtp.server. I had another account set up that also was configured to go to old.smtp.server. I deleted this account, and the send/receive mail message (for the problem account) then indicated that it was going to the new.smtp.server. HOWEVER, tcpdump shows that it is still trying to connect to old.smtp.server.] _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
