        Hi,
just in case, you should not edit the underlying evolution files, 
unless really necessary and you know what you are doing (or you are 
guided to, with detailed steps). You should change the options in UI, 
Edit->Preferences->Mail Accounts-><your account>->Edit->Receiving 
Email tab and others. Hmm, unless the account is configured in GNOME 
Online Accounts, where you cannot change these details.

Anyway, 3.10.4 has an issue and Andre's linked thread contains the 
related discussion with a reference to a fix which your distribution 
should include to make TLS used in SSL connections.
        Bye,
        Milan
