No, IMAP *is* port 143. POP3 is port 110. Port 993 is IMAPS - i.e. SSL connections to an IMAP server - you need to set the security/encryption on the account to use "SSL on a dedicated port" and then it will set the port to 993. STARTTLS is different - it connects using the standard unencrpyted IMAP port (143) and then switches to an encrypted connection once the initial handshake is done. > > I tried re-installing evolution, but the same result ensues. > Re-installing really doesn't help - it is rare that any issues are to do with corrupted installs. Virtually all problems are down to a user's configuration and that is not affected if you delete or reinstall an application.
