        Hi,
first of all, it would be nice if you could avoid such statements here.
You can discuss Evolution related things, but why to pollute the list
with claims about some completely unrelated web interfaces? That just
doesn't make sense to expect any constructive answer to it (by the way,
you do not see your own postings, because Google has that message
already, in your Sent folder (on the Google server); that's semi-known
behavior of Google, as far as I know). Also, you should be patient, it
doesn't help when you spam the list. Imagine people are not at the same
time zone as you are, or even there can be noone able to answer. Such
things happen.

Anyway, for your query. Evolution uses glib's gio streams, which rely
on glib-networking, which uses gnutls in the background. Gio obviously
has trouble to talk to the server, something between you and the server
disconnects the connection when being done in a secure way. Why it does
that I've no idea. Maybe there's some way to figure that out, but I do
not know that either, I'm sorry. From my point of view, it's something
in your settings.

I'd verify that there's no proxy involved (in Evolution, Edit->
Preferences->Network Preferences). Maybe you've setup a SOCKS proxy,
which breaks this. The NetworkManager is not needed, but it can be used
for connection availability detection. You can change how that's done
at the Network Preferences too.

When you open the account Properties, the Receiving Email tab has an
Authentication section, where you can click Check For Supported Types,
which also connects to the server. It would be interesting to know
whether it worked.

With ping, it may or may not be accurate. Could you run this instead,
please?

   $ gnutls-cli -p 993 imap.gmail.com

It should end with something like:

   * OK Gimap ready for requests from .....

Eventually try:

   $ gnutls-cli -p 993 imap.googlemail.com

Use Ctrl+C to stop gnutls-cli. There is also gnutls-cli-debug. If only
one of the addresses will work, then change it in Evolution settings,
account Properties. In any case, this local connection issue debugging
is out of scope of this mailing list. Also, I'm not able to give any
hints other than the above myself. Maybe other readers are, I do not
know.

        Hope it helps and bye,
        Milan
