I too can not get my iCloud connection working from Evolution (3.10.4 on F20). The server settings for iCloud mail are at:

I've tried STARTTLS, but with no joy. However I note that on the Apple pages it says: Server name: imap.mail.me.com SSL Required: Yes If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead. Port: 993 Username: The name part of your iCloud email address Password: Your iCloud password To me that implies that you use TLS on port 993 - whereas port 993 is supposedly for IMAPS. Indeed whenever I change the encryption method to STARTTLS, Evo automatically changes the port to 143 (port 143 is NOT open on that server). I can obviously change the port back to 993, but my question is, does Evo honour that port number? Whenever I go back to the config page, the port number has been reset to 143 if I specify STARTTLS. Please note that I am well aware that STARTTLS initiates the connection in plain text before switching to encrypted and that the SSL connection negotiates the encryption on connection. I also know there is a difference between STARTTLS and TLS, but Evo does not offer a TLS option.
