+ <file>$HOME/.config/evolution/sources/</file> with a text editor.</p></item>
+<item><p>In the <code>[Mail Transport]</code> section, replace
+ <code>BackendName=sendmail</code> with <code>BackendName=smtp</code> or vice versa.</p></item>
+<item><p>Restart the <code>evolution-source-registry</code> background
