[Evolution] cannot send email

["david" <david ransier com>]

In the last week I installed Ubuntu 9.04 on one of my older PCs (Athlon64 CPU). It's been a while but I'm 
familiar with Linux and Unix.

I'm trying to use Evolution email. (I'm new to Evolution.) The incoming email is working OK, but outgoing 
fails to connect.

I've mirrored the connection information with my Windows PC - SMTP with Login. 

I can Ping the smtp server, but email will not connect. If I click the button under authentication to Check 
for Authentication Types, it eventually times out. Though the same button under receiving email works 
correctly.

I did scan the bug list and tried the suggestion to delete my outgoing mail and create a fresh one. The 
assumption being the outgoing mail may have been malformed. No change.


Thanks for any help,
David Ransier
