I have exactly the same issue as described by the OP. However, I also find that upon initial connection (and sometimes on later reconnects) Evolution immediately claims that the connection fails and asks me to re-enter my password. I don't change the password (since it has not changed) but if I click "retry" a bunch of times it eventually connects and is okay (until it quietly drops the connecton again).
I have a work-around for getting Evolution to re-connect: click the "offline" button (buttom left), cancel the "sync" dialog (which can be done with Esc) and then click it again to go back online. You can also do this if sending an email failed (after getting reconnected click retry on the "send failed" dialog). Sometimes when I attempt to reconnect in this manner I have to hit retry a few times before it works. After reconnecting Evolution will check for new mail right away (and will find it). Thus, you can think of this procedure as the "check new mail" function. ;) One other work-around: after reconnecting (as above) sometimes messages that I already deleted re-appear. Apparently the conection was lost before Evolution was able to sync the deletions. If I hit the send/receive button a couple times right after deleteing messages (with a fresh connection) this problem is usually averted.
