        Hi,
works for me, I see there that option. Do you see any runtime warnings
when you run evolution from console and edit properties of this account?
Please ignore those from gtk_entry_set_text().

When I go to Edit->Preferences->Mail Accounts, the account's type is
"spool" for me.

With respect of "check after start", there was added an option for that,
in Edit->Preferences->Mail Preferences, General tab, at the very top. It
is supposed to be checked by default.

Please note of [1] too.
        Bye,
        Milan
