And this all just works.....

Then the  other day - I added a Submission port to my Exim server - and 
trolled around Evolution-2.12.1  (and Google) looking for hints of where 
to add this...
Never found any info.

To 'fix',
Edit --> Mail-Accounts --> (appropriate account) --> Sending Email --> 
Server:  ... then append ":587" to the server name and it works just fine.
(Thats a Colon and Port Number)

The SMTP "Submission" port is usually configured with some sort of 
authentication - so that needs appropriate configuration too.


Later discovered this colon + port principal in the online help under 
"Receiving Email"
