This makes sense, you currently need to restart (or disable and then re-enable the imap account) before it will accept the SSL tag. The reason for this is because once an IMAP "object" is created, new settings will not affect it. We may some-day change this so some changes will act on any currently instantiated objects as well... > I shutdown > evolution and started it again. Again port 143.

No, it doesn't. Jeff -- Jeffrey Stedfast Evolution Hacker - Ximian, Inc.
