Question #77297 on evolution in ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+question/77297

tommaso proposed the following answer:
I tried hard and at least succeed in.
The first time a wizard opens to complete, I didn't succeded that time, it took almost 5-6.
So open Evolution and go to Modification>Preferences>Account>Modify, now there are some tabs where pop, imap etc. and smtp etc.; here you can chose ssl tls and other features.

I have a mobile account, maybe a further problem.
a) the account must be set iin as separate servers,
-one for incoming mails, to be sure add a colon and the port number (I use thunderbird on Vista on another pc and copied it);
-another for forwarding mails, its name may/should differ (and also here copied the right port number after a ":" without spaces and quotings)
b) the user, eg *@gmail.???, must be written wholly, while autocompetion only writes the "*" part;
then turn to the first tab and chose as "default" account and Apply.
Then go to file and control that it's not set to offline.
Before tryng to send/receive, open the Web Connections Applet (Cable,Wi-Fi,Mobile,VPN,DSL),
chose yours, and control that data in there are complete and congruous with some of the settings in the account, here also you must set tls ecc. password and certified keys if any.

Now you can press the send/receive button and expect to funcion an applet opens with two bars for incoming and forwarding giving the nr in queue,
and before this action completes an applet opens to ask your gmail password.
If this stop with error reopen file and try reverse online status for sureness. Its logic is Open/Close,
not Online/Offline.
If all has gone to effect given the password it begin the import/export action.
But its not finished, a 2nd passwod is asked by the program KeyWallet(a passwords automatic storage, and this I really deem importune while configuring, why should one set a password since he's not sure if the settings are as he need them?)
I hope this will work because the wonder of Evolution is that you can filter your mails in different directories and subdirectories eg.: work(and subs: object),home(and its subs),friends(and its subs) very simply (less restrictive filters higher in the stack and more restrictive lower) and even in a usb pendrive, but this is the reason I've came here now).
When the operator line is overburden you can have errors, but this happens the same in xp and vista (better to restart the system than change settings that are just allright).
I hope this may help you, anyway to install another program doesn't necessarily mean to build it. Go to System>Administration, open Synaptcs(not the mouse) ad  search thunderbird, opera or what else, all the available application compatable with your distro, and it will install them resolving also their dependencies. And even uninstall the ones you don't want if they're not necessary to one you wish to keep (watch carefully from there the properties of the package you're looking at before choosing the changes, eg: I don't use bluetooth or palmtop, but some of their services are needed for a mobile connection)
