Re: [Evolution] I can not send email!!

Felix:

My guess is that you have set your POP or SMTP server to something like "http://myserver.isp.com" and it should be set to "myserver.isp.com" (skip the quotation marks). 
http:// is not part of the host name; Mozilla is probably ignoring that, but Evolution seems to be interpreting it as though your server were named "http" and the port number it wanted to connect to was //myserver.isp.com, which is obviously not a number. 

Cut out the http:// bit and it should work.

Yours,

Aaron.
