I had come across the suggestion about concurrent connections before
but it does not appear
in the pop configuration - I think it must only be for an IMAP
connection.
I should have added I have looked around extensively for a solution
before asking on this list.

The solution is in the archives
Edit -> Preferences -> [select account] -> Edit -> Receiving options
and reduce the number of concurrent connections to '1'.
Gmail aggressively throttles connections that it thinks are hitting it
too hard - it interprets more than one concurrent connection as being
too much.

Use 'evolution --force-shutdown' from a command line.
