I found a pretty got test to check the address settings: When installing the account, or after installation, using the edit and receiving tab, there is a button at the right side of the "password" button called "check for supported types" Click on that one and if it works, the connection is usually ok.

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.

Upon correct POP/SMTP configuration when I try to send an email(receiving is OK) I get the following error message: Error while performing operation Host lookup failed: http: host not found The identical configuration in Mozilla Mail works flawlessly! I do not know what is the problem!! Thanks, Felix _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - evolution lists ximian com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
