<...snip> I, on the other hand, have discovered that although my incoming mail works fine, my outgoing smtp mail via gmail is not working. I thought it was, but apparently I'd still been sending it out via pacbell. So my settings in evolution are as described later in this thread, with the exception that I can't set the outgoing port, but I can't connect with the smtp server at gmail. I need to do a bit more troubleshooting...
Okay, the trick was to append the :port# to the server name (Doh!) but interestingly this still didn't work at first. Also, contrary to the guides at gmail, I had to use SSL (not TSL) with login authentication. This still didn't work though until I tried using the server ip address at which point I got an warning message about an out-of-date SSL certificate. I accepted the connection and was able to send the email. I then changed back to the server name and now I can still send emails. Don't really understand why this worked, but there you go. Daniel
