severity 432584 important
thanks
I believe this is an important bug, since it implies two major
drawbacks to the user:
(1) The UI does not provide an option to specify the SMTP port which
is to be used. It can be set via 'smtp.xxx.yyy:port', sure, but this
isn't documented anyhere! I think there should be either (a) a field
next to the server adress where you can specify the port -- and which
is defaulted to 25 -- or there should be (b) an example or some other
kind of hint that explains to me what I am supposed to type into the
address field.
A nice example for this "hint" is in the cookies dialog of current
epiphany-browser where it tells me what "only from sites you visit"
means. A small text line telling me "To specify a different port than
25 for SMTP, please use the following syntax:
smtp.mailserver.com:port" or similar would help a lot!
(2) Once I've got this far and found out how to specify the SMTP port,
Evolution omits it and still sends over port 25 if it is available.
WTF?! I mean, my service provider begs me to use a different port than
25, I manage to change the port and finally Evolution decides to use
the default port, because it is still available. What does Evolution
think it is to override my settings? FAIL! ;)
Please change the order to first use the port I specified and then
fall back to the default port 25 only if it failed.
Cheers,
Fabian
