Hi all,
I've created an Evolution help page detailing how to use a custom port
number for an email server. I've attached a patch for those whom it may
concern. Let me know what you think.
Regards,
Paul Weaver

Subject: [PATCH] Added file detailing how to specify a custom mailserver port
The new file contains a short set of instructions for specifying a different por
t number when connecting to a mailserver. I have left out specific details of wh
ich type of server the user is connecting to, as I am assuming the servername:po
rt format will work for all of them.

+ <p>This assumes the reader knows their email server settings, although may not know what a "port" is, and should enable the reader to set port information in the Server fields of the Account Editor</p>

+ <p>Some email servers require you to use a non-standard network port number for sending and receiving email. If you need to set a custom server port, simply use the format <em>servername:port</em> in the appropriate <gui>Server</gui> field.</p>
