<title>Change the outgoing method for an IMAP+ account</title>
<p>There is no user interface to change the outgoing method of an IMAP account.</p>
<p>If you used Sendmail so far but now want to use an SMTP connection instead:</p>
<list>
<item><p>Close <app>Evolution</app>.</p></item>
<item><p>Find and open the corresponding account file in
<file>$HOME/.config/evolution/sources/</file> with a text editor.</p></item>
<item><p>In the <code>[Mail Transport]</code> section, replace
<code>BackendName=sendmail</code> with <code>BackendName=smtp</code> or vice versa.</p></item>
<item><p>Restart the <code>evolution-source-registry</code> background
process, for example by rebooting your system.</p></item>
<item><p>Start <app>Evolution</app> and edit the account SMTP settings for
the account as needed.</p></item>
</list>
