You could do it using:

# yum --enablerepo=development update evolution

but you would be a braver man than I to do that. I'd try to fix the SMTP
issues if I was you. What problems are you having?

First I apologize if my reply comes through convoluted, I am stuck using
Lotus Notes at work.

The problem had to do with the way the evolution client contacted the
server using either HELO or EHLO commands. I'm not a programmer so fixing
it myself is out  of the question. On another machine I have, the same
problem existed, but after upgrading that to 2.0.3 it fixed the problem so
I know it's legit.

I'll be brave and test the above when I get home tonight. Thanks a lot!
