I think, given the error message, you may need to change your username
to "xxx.xxx" and not "xxx.xxx@xxxxxxxxx" in both the Receiving Email and
Sending Email tabs for your Gmail account.

I don't have to provide port numbers, as long as I choose IMAP with SSL
encryption and SMTP with SSL encryption (i.e. the standard ports are
used by Gmail), and check "server requires authentication" for sending
email.

I don't have the problem using Evo with any other of my IMAP sources, so
I'm guessing it's Gmail related.
