Since you don't give any details, you either have the wrong name/password combination, you don't have postfix listening for incoming connections, or your firewall is blocking things.

Have you configured postfix for smtp authentication? If it is, then you will need to configure evolution for the same as well. Check for the configurations at both the ends.
