To avoid the problems of open relays, your email provider may only allow SMTP from their own users, i.e. users on their own network, so as you move around you generally have to configure the SMTP server according to where you are (or just use a webmail service). Note that the IMAP/POP server doesn't change. Other providers do allow SMTP from anywhere, but only with an authenticated session. You need to ask them how to do this and change your Evo account info accordingly. In any case, you make these changes in Preferences-><account>->Edit->Sending Mail. I don't know what "the name of the connection" means here, but what you need is the DNS name of the local SMTP server. The online help gives detailed instrucions. poc > -----Original Message----- > > From: meredith walsh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subj: [Evolution] wireless surfing > Date: Fri Oct 26, 2007 1:02 am > Size: 663 bytes > To: "evolution-list@gnome.org" <evolution-list@gnome.org> > > Hi, I am surfing on an unsecured wireless connection.
