Apple's got instructions on their website for setting up third party email clients for use with MobileME. My Kmail works great with it, as did Evolution before I moved over.

Incoming server: mail.me.com
SSL: On
Incoming server port: 993

Outgoing server: smtp.me.com
SSL: On
Authentication: Password
Outgoing server port: 587

Enter user ID/passwords as needed.

I had a similar problem with Gmail. I simply switched over to Mozilla Thunderbird + Lightning plugin and everything worked perfectly. Thunderbird is free and open source, made by a dedicated company, and is full-featured and well-developed and tested. Highly recommended from a happy user.

So How do I specify incoming and outgoing ports in
Evolution? I have all the other stuff in there properly.
Thanks,

Thanks,
By appending the port number to the server's name with a colon, like this:

smtp.server.com:587
