Hi, getting mail and sending mail are two different things, which usually contact two different services on a single machine, or even two different machines as such. There is nothing like "sending via IMAP" in Evolution, the IMAP protocol is used to read messages from the server. One can upload messages to the server too, but it's not like sending. To send the message the SMTP server is used (or a sendmail binary), as you mentioned. I would suggest to try different connection options for the SMTP server of the affected account. It looks like the server rejects the connection on the set port. Try to change the port. Then try to change the encryption method, from "TLS" to "STARTTLS", in combination with the other ports. All of this in the account Properties->Sending Email tab. I think these changes can work without restarting Evolution. Try to run Evolution from a terminal like this: $ CAMEL_DEBUG=smtp evolution It can print some information about the SMTP server, if it gets that far.
