Description of Problem:
Error occurs when sending email through evolution. After pressing
send/receive button new mail is retrieved just fine but outgoing mail isn't
sent. A dialog box appears saying.

Could not send message: Broken Pipe

2. 
3. 

Actual Results:
Outgoing mail not sent to SMTP server but remains in outbox folder

Expected Results:
Outgoing mail sent to SMTP server.

All the time. Evolution is unuseable.

Almost sure the message in outbox has incomplete or wrong information,
hence blocking further messages for going out...
Please delete the offending message in outbox and everything will work
again.
