Hi Pedro,

Well I can confirm that Evolution mail is working in an installed Ubuntu
10.04 on another computer. I finally got it to work by appending the
port number to the server address, as : --

Inwards mail : imap.gmail.com:993  SSL encryption, Password
authentication.

Outwards mail : smtp.gmail.com:465 SSL encryption, Authentication, Plain

I think that some of the problem I experienced was the delay in syncing
the folders with the server as I have 971 MB of mail on Gmail.

I set up another account in Thunderbird, on my test-bed computer, under
Ubuntu 10.04 and it found the right values automatically. This is much
more user-friendly and would be what Evolution should aim for, too.

Paul
