Re: [Evolution] SMTP AUTH

[Mark Logan <mlogan visgen com>]

OK, I'll try the next snapshot that I find and let you know if it is
working.  Until then I'll just keep hitting 'Send Later' and restarting
Evolution :) 

Since we're talking about it, hitting Send Later, after getting the
error, crashes or locks up the app about 50% of the time.

Thanks,
Mark
