Now you will have displayed a page that has several options you can select from along the top, The one displayed by default is the Identity page. You want to go the Receiving Email configuration page (the second option on the top of the display. 5. Here is the configuration information for the pop server if that is what you are using.. On it you choose the Server Type to be POP. Next the Configuration section where you have to enter the IP of your pop server. Next your user name. Here I think is your problem since your user name usually required your full e-mail address. You Authentication type should be Password. and check Remember password 6. The first time you run evolution and request mail it should ask you for a password. After you enter it it should be remembered. 7. Now the password you enter must match the one you arranged to assign to you by your ISP. I would check with them that they have the right password recorded. The same thing can be done with the smtp server, except the Authentication type is Login, Its tab is called Sending Email. If there are more questions ask. -- Aaron Konstam <akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
