Hello:

Carpetnailz appears to have the same problem that I had after my ISP 
upgraded their servers to apply a "Heartbleed" fix. Later, the ISP has 
changed something; and now I can receive POP successfully. However, I 
have been unable to send STMP mail since the "Heartbleed" fix. I hope 
the ISP will eventually fix the problem. too.

I use Evo 3.4.4, which ships with Debian Stable. Perhaps Debian will 
upgrade Evo some day. Unfortunately, I am technically proficient enough 
to compile a newer version myself.  (i have tried!)

Until the ISP fixes something, or Debian upgrades their Evo 
distribution, I have no choice but to use IceDove.
