Howdy,
  Was trying to configure Evolution to use port 587,
which is the messaging port ESMTP, for TLS SMTP.
Could not locate anything in the Documentation,
except for pop which indicated just using a colon
and typing in the port number after the address.
Tried this for sending, it did not seem to work.  Checked the
firewall (iptables) and that was not blocking.
Tried mail on macos x, eudora, thunderbird, and
outlook express.  All worked for that port from
these other systems, same subnet.
  Tried to use bug buddy to see if there was anything
about this, but it reported that it did not have
any information about evolution or mail.

Anyone have any luck specifying the messaging port
for this software?  (for TLS)
I must be missing something here, but so far
I cannot find what it is.
