the box to remember passord is checked.
Server Type: SMTP (dropdown menu)

hey, so this definitely worked for me, thanks! but then it actually moved all my emails from my msn account to evolution mail. before i had linux, i was able to have my mail in both places: msn and outlook. can i do this with evolution? or can my mail only be in one of the locations?
