I've found a blog post that describes setting up gmail/Evolution for IMAP, in case there is something non-instinctive:

I've not tried this myself, but know of several people who have got it to work.

Regards,

Andy

Andy's solution (http://wazem.blogspot.com/2007/10/hot-to-configure-imap-on-evolution-and.html) should do the trick. i did it with my gmail account and it works with no problem on evolution and thunderbird.

Can you help with this problem?
