Hi,
It seems I finally got it worked. Thanks for all your help.
I want to share the information here: for any future reference to anybody.
Due to some reason Evolution is not issuing the second DNS query.
Which means, once pop.gmail.com is send to DNS for the IP address the
DNS is returning a re request for gmail-pop.l.google.com and address
1.0.0.0, DNS is expecting Evolution to query for
gmail-pop.l.google.com which will return the actual address
72.14.253.109.
Ping is working fine.
Same is the case for SMTP also only choice of Authentication type
PLAIN is returning with success.
I can not give the details of why, I don't have that much knowledge.
Ethereal, PING and the list helped me a lot. Thank you all for everything.

I have started as you said... but
2) Receiving mail: Server type: POP Server: pop.gmail.com username: razorpeak Use Secure Connection: SSL encryption Authentication Type: Password (click "check for supported types" and you should see that the other possibilities are struck out)
clicking "check for supported types" is opening a window "Quering Server Please Wait" and it is never returning.
Please tell me what may went wrong.
Thanks of all your elaborate and detail help.

Yes I did that. Anything else I missed? Please help.
Thanks - Bikram
Remove the account from evolution and start again. First go to the gmail setting and check that under "POP download. 1)Status" it says, in green letters, "POP is enabled". If this is not so, then enable it and don't forget to click on "save changes".
Then go back to Evolution and create the account from zero.
1) Name: <your name> Email Address: razorpeak@gmail.com 2) Receiving mail: Server type: POP Server: pop.gmail.com username: razorpeak Use Secure Connection: SSL encryption Authentication Type: Password (click "check for supported types" and you should see that the other possibilities are struck out) 3) Sending mail: Server type: SMTP Server: smtp.gmail.com CHECK "Server requires authentication" Use Secure Connection: SSL encryption Authentication Type: Login (click "check for supported types" and you should see that the other possibilities except PLAIN are struck out) username: razorpeak
Save that configuration and you should be able to send and receive mail from Evolution with your email account. Make sure that the account is "enabled" in evolution. Go to Edit/Preferences and you will see a checkbox in the "enabled" column before the name of the account you've just created. That checkbox should be selected.
I've just done this whole procedure with this account (which I didn't have set up to download), and it worked perfectly. Hope it helps.
