'Evolution' does not force SSL for those ports - those ports are *for*
SSL secured connections; hence "imaps" and "pops".  Any other use of
those ports is simply incorrect.

If you are using TLS then you just use the normal 110 & 143 ports.
Assuming your server/provider supports TLS.

Certainly, it works perfectly.

Perhaps the server requires TLS in order to authenticate?
