Recently Evolution email refuses to send, although it did at one time.
I have configured and re-configured it for days now. It gives an error message Could not connect to smtp, etc timed out.
Nothing. It receives mail but times out on the send.
I have comcast isp and I know about port 587 which they use now I guess. Although Outlook hasn't complained yet.
I have entered my SMTP as mail.comcast.net, smtp.mail.comcast.net, mail.comcast.net:587, smtp.mail.comcast.net:587, mail.comcast.net (port 587) and smtp.mail.comcast.net (port 587).
Nothing works.
Has anyone had this problem and resolved it?
If so please share with me, thanks.
I also have another outgoing server smileglobal.com which I use to send on my outlook but it doesn't work either in Evolution.
Is there is a firewall problem or a hidden protocol somewhere.
Sometimes when I boot up Fedora 7 it says there are updates available and I install those as a rule. Maybe something got tweaked.
Hello and welcome to LQ. I don't use Evolution or Comcast, but here's what you can try. Check (host, nslookup, dig) which of mail.comcast.net or smtp.mail.comcast.net resolves, that's the address you'll use next. Now open a terminal window and type 'telnet addressyoulluse 587', this should return something like "(code) server OK". If it does then close the window, if it does not then copy the full error lines here. Edit your POP3 account settings, use addressyoulluse:587 for sending, enable check for TLS and test the servers capabilities. If anything fails please check settings with the mailclient that does work and post exact error messages (if any).

I tried both the comcast and smileglobal.
The comcast failed but the smileglobal says it is connected to mail....I don't know how to get out of it except quit the terminal.
below is the sequence
[root@localhost warpwr]# nslookup mail.comcast.net
Server: 68.87.76.178
Address: 68.87.76.178#53
[root@localhost warpwr]# telnet mail.smileglobal.com 2525
Trying 69.7.35.11...
Connected to mail.smileglobal.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
In attempting to enter 'mail.smileglobal.com 2525' there is no place to enter the 2525. I understand you just put 'mail.smileglobal.com:2525', but the connection times out. If you enter a space where the colon is in inserts %20 but not a space.
I need to find out how to enter the port 2525 in the string I think.
Telnet needs 'telnet hostaddress portnumber'. You forgot to add the port. BTW, the comcast docs say mail.comcast.net is address to read from and smtp.comcast.net the address to send mail with.

First of all I want to thank you unspawn, so thanks.
Yeah you are right I forgot the port number for comcast which I think is 587 though it used to be 25. Smile global switched to 2525 a long time ago probably for the same reason.
But there is no place in evolution to specify a port number. Every email setup I've ever worked with has a graphical window to specify the port number except this one.
Evolution doesn't and I cannot get it to do anything except time out on the send. Receive works fine.
There must be a system file in linux somewhere that would allow editing to add that port number. Or not? The evolution files are in HOME/warpwr/.evolution now but I can't find which file stores that info.
Can you set the mailserver you send through as "smtp.comcast.net:587" and enable any verbose or debug logging in Evolution (or telnet there) ? I'd like to see some error responses the server sends back.

I set it at smtp.smileglobal.com:2525. This will connect using telnet.
The comcast address did not generate the bug.
Here is the bug report (that won't send either btw)....

I'm sorry for the trouble. With verbose or debug logging I meant something like a transaction log, the kind of log an application would generate itself while talking to a remote server. As I said before, I don't use Evolution, so I can't help you point to where and if it can do that.
