I'd honestly recommend switching to thunderbird. Evolution has been a
janky buggy mess for a while :(
If you need calendar, the 'lightning' plugin for thunderbird is pretty good

Not strictly a Linux problem but I have hit problems configuring
Evolution for IMAP with a Virgin Media mailbox.
Running Mint Mate 17.1 for some time and Evolution was working fine with
POP3 configuration. Tried to change to IMAP for multiple device use and
it is working fine with an iPad Mini.
Deleted POP3 account details in Evolution and added IMAP option with all
the configuration details set out by Virgin; ports, authentication,
encryption etc. Now a 'send / receive' instruction produces a "scanning
folders in 'IMAP server imap.virginmedia.com'" message in a progress bar
but no further result even after 12hours.
I cannot find any answers on the Web but that may be down to my poor
search criteria and any mention of Evolution send Virgin Media help desk
running for the hills.
Any ideas or suggestions before I return to POP3?
