Andre,

I ran evolution with the POP debug flags turned on and looked at the
logfile.  The only time I see any error is when a timeout occurs. 
Otherwise the messages in the logfile seem to be consistent with those
from another computer I have (same evolution version, different email
account) when it connects to Google.

Receiving and sending mostly works (except for an occasional timeout
while connecting), it is just very, very slow. (Checking for mail with
no messages downloaded takes 2-3 minutes on this machine while on my
other machine it takes 2-3 seconds.)

Any advice for how to learn more about what is wrong?

Thanks
