If you aren't using SSL, then no matter what patch they apply to their
servers, it's not going to matter to you!  Are you sure you aren't using
SSL? (And the "STARTTLS" configuration *is* SSL.)  And if you aren't
using SSL, and your ISP provides it, then you really, really should do
so.

If you *are* using some form of encrypted communication, your ISP would
have changed their encryption keys at the same time, could it be
something to do with that?

You need to run Evolution from the command line, possibly with debugging
turned on, to see what is actually happening.  We can't really tell you
what debugging variables to use since you haven't said what version of
Evolution or what type of account you are talking about.
