Have you checked that POP is enabled in your gmail account? On the Gmail main page click settings and then click the "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" tab to see.

Unfortunately, Evolution is not mentioned in Gmail help as either a supported or an unsupported email client.

configuring other email clients

But there are standard instructions for all clients which you may want to follow.

I don't use Evolution, but you should find all these settings in your "account settings", which in Thunderbird is near the bottom of the drop down list under "edit".

I just installed IMAP support for Gmail through Evolution.

I believe the problem is that you are not specifying the right port for the connection. In Evolution there is no field for ports, so for incoming (IMAP) server you type (different port for POP): imap.gmail.com:993

and similar for outgoing (SMTP): smtp.gmail.com:587

Hope this helps.
