[Evolution] smtp server config
Hi everyone! I use evolution on my laptop (Ubuntu breezy) and I want to send email from my work and also from home. The point is that I cannot use the same smtp server at the two places. I have several email account configured, and I send mails from all account in the two place (work and home). Now I need to change manually the smtp server almost each time I want to send an email... it's a little bit annoying... Is there a way to configure several smtp server for all accounts at the same time (the smtp server should depend on your Internet config not on your email identity)?

I mean, i surely dont see a delay, the only delay ofcourse, is in fetching the message from the server (IMAP).

At least in the 2.2 series of Evolution (which is what I'm using), my suggestion is to create multiple accounts/configurations for each of the affected accounts -- e.g., one for work and one for home for each address. Use the same E-mail address on both, but only one of them needs to be configured for incoming mail. Set each to their respective outgoing settings (SMTP server, etc.). Give each of them a good descriptive name. Then just pick one or the other at the top of each E-mail message depending on whether you're at home or at work. > Is there a way to configure > several smtp server for all accounts at the same time Not that I know of. > (the smtp server > should depend on your Internet config not on your email identity)? Not necessarily. There are many cases where each identity may require different outgoing mail settings (SMTP and otherwise).

No, any given account can have one SMTP server only. There is no way for
the mail client to determine, which network you are in.
Anyway, there are some possible solutions for this. They all need some
manually tweaking, since *you* can decide which network you are in, but
the the client can't.
a) Use a "made up" alias name as SMTP server, like for example "smtp" or
"smtp.automagic.net". Then add this name to your /etc/hosts file along
with the IP address of the SMTP server you want to use.
b) Change the Evolution account settings using 'gconftool-2'.
The first option can be done during your network gets initialized. Those
scripts already know which network you are in.
Both options can be done at any later time. It's up to you do decide
which network you are in. This can be done automatically, for example
based on your own hostname, your IP address, the default gateway or any
other part of the network that is distinct in both cases.
To automate this process you will need a script, that maybe checks for
the network you are in and then uses one of the options above. If you
need help in this, feel free to ask. However, you should know the
networks you are frequently in.
Unless some stupid admins forgot to offer any way of authentication (the
remote network) or the paranoid admin (local network) simply blocks
outgoing SMTP traffic to servers which are not in his own network, SMTP
authentication is the best way. Unfortunately you did not mention, why
you cannot use the other SMTP server and why you are forced to change
this.
Using SMTP with any kind of authentication, you can use the proper SMTP
for any account regardless of the (local) network you are currently in.
Would this be an option? HTH...

Alternatively, you can use the 'sendmail' option in Evolution, and install an MTA on the laptop. In my case, I have Postfix running, and I have setup Postfix to try multiple smarthosts. If the first one denies the message, it'll try the second one. For 'odd' cases, the last one in the list points to localhost:2525, so I can make an ssh tunnel if all other smarthosts fail.

Re: [Evolution] Forwarding mail with embedded images
Dear Guenther and list, The problem with forwarding mail as an attachment is that you don't get to edit it. This is unacceptable when dealing with personal matters and so I do not want it to be my default. This may be a feature that is needed in a business environment, but not for personal use. Similarly with not being able to edit a message before saving it (for example, to delete long included threads or other attachments as a previous poster requested). So I do hope the developers will provide a way to allow Evo to be configured to permit editing of emails before storing and/or forwarding (I was told in an earlier post that all forwarding would be as an attachment in future versions). If necessary for business users, it would be reasonable to have this option under root control.

[Evolution] Problems with cyrillic
I couldn't find anything in the archive so that's why I decided to write about it here. Just started using Evolution some weeks ago. I have the following problem: I have selected UTF-8 in both the Composer and Mail Preferences and somehow when I send an e-mail, my "Subject" and "From" fields turn into a bunch of hieroglyphs. For example, I put a subject "тест" which is "test" but in cyrillic and in the source of the message I get "?iso-8859-5?Q?=E2=D5=E1=E2?=". The same thing happens with my name which is also written in cyrillic. Did someone had problems with this before me? I don't understand why it converts the charachters into something else when I've only chosen UTF-8. :\ Anyone?
