Hello Folks,

I'm running Sylpheed version 0.7.4 on the
Lindows version of Debian Linux 2.4.19.

I can receive email from my ISP's POP3 server,
but always get a failure when trying to send
mail via the SMTP server.  I've configured
Sylpheed to not use SSL when sending or
receiving mail, and have entered my user name
and password in both the POP3 and SMTP server
fields in the configuration dialog.

I can send mail with Evolution.  I have
Evolution configured to use password
authentication to send mail via the ISP's
SMTP server.

Sylpheed doesn't seem to offer a configuration
option that enables password SMTP authentication,
or at least I can't figure out how to set it
up that way.  I've read the Sylpheed documentation
and tried various configurations, and none has
worked.

Here's a log of the client-server dialog when
I try to send mail:

Can you point me to some help?

Thanks.
