thanks

address:port is the standard way to do that, everywhere. That's exactly
the way you set it in an address bar in whatever browser, if you want
not to use the default port.
Sure a tooltip would be nice. Severity wishlist, will see if there's
something like that on GNOME bugzilla.
Alright, then I wish a tooltip for this in a future release. ;)
I can't reproduce this. I use an ssh tunnel to send mail, and as I want
to make the tunnel as user, I use localhost:8025 as smtp address. It
work fine since ages. And I tried to open localhost:25, and nothing
happens on that port, it correctly use the 8025 port.
Are you sure you've configured the right account? Remember if you have
multiple “from” accounts that you can configure an smtp server for each
one, so double check that please.
I originally wanted to rant about the missing "hint" how to use the
address:port syntax in the mailserver setup window. Thus I searched
for existing bug reports against evolution and stumbled upon #432584,
reported by Robert Kroiss on 10 Jul 2007, which describes a similar
problem. However, he found out that the port given in the address line
is simply ignored as long as the standard port is available. I have to
admit I have blindly taken this for true and added a rant about this
to my initial rant about the missing tooltip. I am sorry if this issue
has been fixed in the meantime and is not true anymore.
Cheers,
Fabian
