There have been floating some problems like that around in here the last
weeks.

Solution was really different, though. I assume, you are using normal
SMTP, no SSL.


First guess is a mail without valid recipient in your outbox. Check your
outbox, there should be at least one mail not sent. Check, if it got
properly To: recipient. (properly means a real email adress or a name
you have in your adress book (must be underlined!))


As outbox is a queue all other mails won't be sent, unless the oldest
one is sent.


btw: Evo 1.2.1 has some good features and advantages over 1.0.8 -- if
you wanna use Evo I suggest you get red-carpet (not the ximian desktop
installer) from http://ximian.com/products/redcarpet/download.html and
install. Subscribe to channel Evolution and get the latest version.
