I am sending this email from the same computer using Kmail, however, I would 
like to go back to Evolution if it can be fixed.

I only ever use Evolution under KDE. It uses gnome-keyring just as it
does under Gnome. The only difference is that Evo prompts you for the
keyring password on starting up under a new session (just the first
time) as it doesn't get this info automatically from the login widget as
it does under Gnome.

The OP didn't specify whether he was using Gnome or KDE. KMail uses
Kwallet I think, where as Evolution uses gnome-keyring. I would guess
the OP is using evolution in KDE and it fails to access gnome-keyring.

one of two things, your password
is not correct or your account settings 
is off. If you know your account settings compare with what you have in 
kmail.

Last resort , Call your ISP and get correct settings.

example:

Server Name:
Port #:
Security and Authentication:
Username:

i owuld bet evolution is misconfigured and you should contect your
serveradmin because this is the only person who can look what
exactly happens

what auth-method are you using and what does you server support?
telnet you-smtp 587

below a smtp-session to look what the server supports

[harry@srv-rhsoft:~]$ telnet mail.thelounge.net 587
Trying 10.0.0.15...

Have you considered asking your email provider's tech support?
