I just tried it an got exactly the same behaviour. I'm running Debian unstable, I have courier-imap 1.6.1-2 and evolution 1.2.0-4. Normally I use kmail so I never noticed that evolution was having trouble. I tried removing and recreating the account with no success, I then tried removing various evolution config files and directories. That led to an interesting observation ... even when removing ~/evolution, ~/.gnome/ and ~/.gconf/ evolution still knew my email settings. I hunted around for the phantom config files that evolution was obviously reading but found none, finally I did an strace. Evolution (at least in Debian unstable) reads the directory /tmp/orbit-username/ ... After an "rm -rf /tmp/orbit-fraser/" I started Evolution and actually got a clean slate. I suggest you try removing /tmp/orbit-whoever to see if it cleans up the problem, evolution might be grabbing some outdated config information from there.
