Craig,
Thanks for the help. I don't know why, but something I did got it to
work. I deleted and recreated the empty "mbox" file in the Sent
folder. That didn't work at first, so I tried configuring KMail. (I
forgot to mention that I was trying to get this to work on a newly
upgraded machine - on which I had the browser and receive mail both
working.) Sends through KMail failed, too. But somehow when I started
Evolution again, it worked!
