Are you sure you aren't confusing Evolution with some other mail client?
When you configure an account, you can configure it's corresponding SMTP

We already have something like this, when configuring your SMTP server -
specify that it requires authentication and select the "POP-before-SMTP"
option.

I think you are referring to a bug in gtk... that isn't actually a
designed feature in the gimp.
