To avoid the problems of open relays, your email provider may only allow
SMTP from their own users, i.e. users on their own network, so as you
move around you generally have to configure the SMTP server according to
where you are (or just use a webmail service). Note that the IMAP/POP
server doesn't change.

Other providers do allow SMTP from anywhere, but only with an
authenticated session. You need to ask them how to do this and change
your Evo account info accordingly.

In any case, you make these changes in
Preferences-><account>->Edit->Sending Mail.

I don't know what "the name of the connection" means here, but what you
need is the DNS name of the local SMTP server. The online help gives
detailed instrucions.
