Simplehelp,
OK, I’m new to UBUNTU (installed 7.04), I’m trying to set up the EVOLUTION e-mail thingy and I’m on your ’set-up-evolution page. I am on the web via a wireless connection and I have two email accounts; one with fishhoo.com, the other with bigstring.com neither was on your list of email settings. I went to both sites (fishhoo and bigstring) but could not find anything that looked like the required information. I feel like I am missing something quite simple. Help. Thanks.
Ned
@Ned:
Sorry I was out of town for a few days (hence the delay in my response). For bigstring.com email you need to have a “Premium” account in order to use it in Evolution (or any email client that supports POP mail - like Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird, Evolution etc). I’m guessing you don’t have a premium account? If you DO have a premium account, you can find all the settings you’d need here: http://www.bigstring.com/userguides/setup/outlookxp.html
Fishhoo.com is the same thing - if you want to access your fishhoo mail in Evolution, you’ll need a ‘paid’ account (”Mail Plus Total Protection” or “Mail Plus Total Protection”). If you DO have a paid fishhoo account, the only way to get the settings (as far as I can tell) would be in the email that they send you when you sign up for the service.
Hope this helps!

When evolution asks for a password which password should i enter…as evolution while setting up doesnt prompt for any password and when clicking the send and receive button it asks for a password so which password should i enter
Its quite confusing which password should i enter as it doesnt ask for password while installing…. I am using ubuntu 7.10
Thanx

Hello,
I had a question regarding http://www.inbox.com I’m trying to set up Evolution to send/receive mail from that account. It appears that POP and SMTP are both going through my.inbox.com thats the server I used in preferences. At this moment I can download the mail from the server, but when it comes to sending saved messages the operation times out with a message:
“Error while performing operation.
Could not connect to my.inbox.com: Connection timed out”
Once again all the setup guides for other desktop email programs required the same my.inbox.com in both POP and SMTP fields, furthermore most had an option of using port #25, which I can’t choose since there isn’t any such prompts with Evolution program. Please, any ideas?
Hello,
I’m new to Linux and I’m trying to setup Evolution in Ubuntu to use for my wifes Juno account. I’m receiving mail fine but getting an error [Could not connect to authsmtp.juno.com: No route to host] when trying to send. She does have a premium account. Any suggestions would be appreciated. authsmtp.juno.com is listed on the Juno web page as the proper entry for the smtp server. Thanks, Richard
Hi. I’ve got Evolution up and running with no problems. for me…

I had eudora set up to use a data folder on a shared network drive. Both machnes used drive M for mail. is there any where in Evolution to specify where the mail and other data is stored??
Thanks in advance
