Re: [Evolution] outgoing mails file/folder in newer versions

[Tobias Drößler <tobiasdroess86 googlemail com>]

hi, 

Thomas, thanks for your mail spool solution - this sounds really good.
I try to set this up...

Pete and Stephan, 

for your information: I used the process described here: 
https://answers.launchpad.net/evolution/+question/10608
 
I know its not the safe way, but it worked.

Maybe i setup sendmail / mutt / .. and do not use evolution for this
purpose. in the past i spare all the configuration of the tools.


Thank you all for your support, have a nice weekend.
