Yes, the problem has been solved: there never was one (hehehe). I didn't know 
google doesn't allow downloading of one's own mails to oneself.

As for your problem, I have nothing to add, I'm afraid.

Andy Roddau spelled it out as clearly as can be (I quote):

For POP

Username = username at gmail com
host = pop.gmail.com
port = 995
Encryption = SSL
Auth = Clear text

For SMTP

Username = username at gmail com
host = smtp.gmail.com
port = 587
Server does require authentication
Encryption = TLS
Auth = Plain Text

The above works for me in Kmail.

It works for me, too. Evolution should be the same.
