Milan, last night I sent this only to you by accident. Thank you for 
your reply. Here, I'll send it again to the Evo list:

Something changed at the server today; now Evo can receive email.

However, I cannot send email. After a very long pause Evo gives an error 
message "Could not connect to server. Operation timed out." 
CAMEL_DEBUG=imapx evolution give no output.

I clicked "Send/Receive". CAMEL_DEBUG gave a long string of output 
during the receive operations, ending with:

[imapx:G] Removed folder INBOX from connection folder list - op done
[imapx:G] camel_imapx_read: -1

Then there was a very long pause while Evo tried to send email, followed 
by Evo crashing with this output from CAMEL_DEBUG:

(evolution:5027): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid uninstantiatable type 
`(null)' in cast to `GObject'

(evolution:5027): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_get_data: assertion 
`G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
Segmentation fault

This is all very frustrating. I'm going to switch to a different ISP.
