To (hopefully?) make what Guenther said a little more clear, Netscape and Mozilla (and most of the many other mailers I've used) allow you to set the default domain for "naked" addresses (like "ban" or "fischetti" or whatever) to something like "mycompanydomain.com".
Evolution does many wonderful things, but it not do this. Evolution doesn't have any concept of a "default domain", and so it just tells your mail server to send mail to "ban", and apparently your mail server also doesn't append a default domain name to the address. In the real world, of course, "ban" is an invalid address, because it lacks a domain name. I actually thought Evolution validated e-mail addresses, so it would recognize that "ban" alone is an invalid address. But I just tested it, and indeed it does not. I swear it used to... So, until Evolution supports a default domain setting (I wouldn't hold your breath), if you really need to send mail to "naked" addresses, the only thing I can think of to do is add a nickname for them to your Contact list. For example, if you have Gerald Banner in your contact list, go to the "Details" tab of his contact record, and you will find a Nickname field. Set this nickname to "ban", and any mail sent to "ban" will go to the proper address (assuming you have set "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" as the Primary Email address for Mr. Banner). I realize this may be a pain in the butt if you have hundreds of possible names, with new ones being added and old ones being taken away, but that's the way it goes for now unless you want to contribute the code for default domain support to Evolution.
