Text File Hi :^> First of all, I _am_ successfully sending and receiving mail in Evolution for my Verizon POP3 account. However, have one slight problem: 1) In my primary user login, I originally put in the wrong name for the SMTP host. So I couldn't send mail. After correcting this, it still error-ed out: Error while performing operation: Could not connect to outgoing.verizon.net (port 465): resource temporarily unavailable. So, the next step was to select tools->mail settings->Accounts and delete that Account entirely.Started from scratch. Still get the same error. (Incoming works ok, however, in the very beginning was also getting the same message for incoming on port 995.) So, logged in as root, started a GUI session, set up a mail account in evolution, with all the settings correct the first time. No problem sending mail. (BTW See question #2 below about working as root!!) Then, as root, set up a new user on this system, and startup up a session for him. Created an evolution account with everything correct the first time.Again, it sends ok. In all instances, "Use secure connection (SSL)" is _NOT_ selected "Server requires authentication"_IS_ selected "Authentication type" is Password. Why can't the original user account be corrected? Is this possibly a bug? 2) General Internet security question: It is generally advised "not to work as root" when connected to the internet. Ok, so normally I won't be sending e-mail from a root account, or even surf, as root. But, my connection is started from root. /usr/bin/neat (for an ADSL connection) requires working as root. If I start `neat` from one root gui session (say, CTR+ALT+F8), then, as user (CTR+ALT+F7) do all the actual work, is this in any way making my system vulnerable to passive or active intrusions?
