When you tell evolution to use secure when sending.,,, it will try to connect to port 995 on the server...
If that port is not open on the mail server, then the message will not send.. Nothing strange about that.. I't can't send to a mail server that isn't accepting connections on the port you have set. rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of FemmeFatale Sent: Sunday, 2 February 2003 12:13 PM To: newbie Subject: [newbie] more Evolution weirdness Forget the sig problem with Evo. Thats just a fancy thing I want to use. :) K stock install of Evolution, no patches (that i know of) were applied to it. The other day I was fiddling with it for over 2 hours. Mostly setting it up the way I wished. At one point I was playing with the smtp/pop options for "Security on email checking" (or something similarly worded) tab in the "Tools/Mail Preferences" section. What I was doing was seeing if my ISP used any sort of security checks other than a password to retrieve/send email when contacting their Mail server. (God I hope thats worded right... stupid demerol.) Anyway, long story short here, I had an open "test" email. It was to be sent to myself on one of my isp's accts. Nothing strange about that. However, when I fiddled with ANY settings to do with security or if I changed HOW I wanted/tried to get the security to work, the email just wouldn't send. Period. This occurred more than once. So for example, if on that tab I had checked on "Password needed" as an option and then added Say... "Mail uses SSL" while the email was still open, it won't send. If I revert it to the setting I *know* works properly (namely only having my password checked, nothing else) with that email Still open it still will NOT send! For fun I even tried just re-entering everything on that tab that I knew worked (I tried the same settings with a diff mail program first to verify they worked), if the email was left open, it won't send. I have to close that draft/test email (I didn't shutdown Evo just to be clear), then open a new email/draft for it to work. Now is that normal for Evo? Or is this a weird bug I just found? Someone test this you'll see what I mean. I initially told Charlie about this, he said it was odd too & may play with Evo to see what the hells going on.
