Who is your email provider?

Maverick is EOL in April. I suggest you upgrade to a newer release soon.

This is a problem with your email settings. In evolution your send mail settings should reflect the port your ISP allows or suggests you use.

But we don't know.

1. The ISP
2. The email account (if it's different from the ISP or not)
3. The email client
4. What you've done to this point.

What we do know is a problem:

1. Your distro is outdated and no longer supported.
2. You have a old computer also, which may be having other issues due to age or a stale distro.
3. You're broke.

But you have a lot of problems so maybe buying a new computer using Windows will be easier for you.

Cheers.

Like the other person with this same problem I fixed it myself yes I have an old computer and no I didnt think of the ISP in my question so what I did was reinstall Ubuntu on this machine and re tweak evolution and I did one thing I didn't do the first time and I know what that was so all is good know so thanks for the help and keep on giving your expertise I future problems.
