Please be more specific. What does "can't send mails via the Server"
mean? Do the mails bounce? Are they sent but never arrive? Does Evo hang
while sending? Does it give an error message?

Using exactly the same account info? If a server accepts mail to local
accounts but rejects mail to non-local accounts it sounds like relay
protection on the server, which stops a non-local sender sending to a
non-local receiver. Does the server have sender authentication (i.e. do
you have to log in or use SSL to send?)
