Re: [Evolution] problems switching from 2.0.3 to 2.2.1: can't send email via imap

[Raul Acevedo <raul cantara com>]

This was over SMTP.  (I have another bug filed because Connector always
crashes on me with 2.2.1.)  I filed a bug and got an answer:

http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=74031

The fix is to change the SSL setting to "Whenever possible", since I'm
not really using SSL, but rather STARTTLS on my mail server.  It was
probably a bug in 2.0.X that using "Always" worked at all.
