There are two kinds of SMTP auth. The more common kind, as someone
else mentioned, is "pop before smtp", which just means that you can't
use smtp until you've authenticated to the pop server. Evolution
doesn't support this by itself yet, but it will eventually, and until
then, you can just do it yourself (by always checking for mail from
that server before trying to send mail).

The other kind of auth is much less widely deployed, and we don't
support it yet either, but we will.
