# Change the outgoing method for an IMAP+ account

There is no user interface to change the outgoing method of an IMAP account.

If you used Sendmail so far but now want to use an SMTP connection instead:

Cerrar Evolution.

Find and open the corresponding account file in $HOME/.config/evolution/sources/ with a text editor.

In the `[Mail Transport]` section, replace `BackendName=sendmail` with `BackendName=smtp` or vice versa.

Restart the `evolution-source-registry` background process, for example by rebooting your system.

Start Evolution and edit the account SMTP settings for the account as needed.
