[Evolution] Outgoing smtp server settings not getting reset.

[Laurie J.]

I am using Evolution 1.4 running redhat enterprise
edition on my laptop.  I am having a problem changing
my smtp outgoing server settings.  Despite changing
the setting, applying the change, exiting evolution,
forcing evolution to terminate with evolution-1.4
--force-shutdown and restarting, it continues to use
the previously set smtp settings  I have tried disabling 
and reenabling the account to no avail.

I get a message :Error while performing operation:
MAIL FROM response error: Authentication required -
probably because it is still trying to go to the 
previously associated server.  (tcpdump verifies this.)
This smtp server name that is definately NOT in the
settings configuration any longer.  (At least from the
evolution settings interface).

Does anyone have suggestions for how I might force
evolution to accept this change or what might be the
cause of this problem?  

Thank you in advance for any help.

[Another triage point: After changing the server and
going through all the steps mentioned in paragraph
1 above, the send/receive mail message still indicated
that it was going to the old.smtp.server.  

I had another account set up that also was configured
to go to old.smtp.server.  I deleted this account, and
the send/receive mail message (for the problem account)
then indicated that it was going to the new.smtp.server.
HOWEVER, tcpdump shows that it is still trying to 
connect to old.smtp.server.]
