Hi bulut, I'll try to see if I can figure out something later this
evening or in the morning. In the interim, can you try with Thunderbird?
Reason for asking is that Evolution can be a little tricky to configure
for some of these & Thunderbird should be much easier.

Don't worry about whether hotmail is an issue or not... If need be I'll
sign up for an account & test that way tomorrow.
