Hi,
It seems I finally got it worked. Thanks for all your help.
I want to share the information here: for any future reference to anybody.
Due to some reason Evolution is not issuing the second DNS query.
Which means, once pop.gmail.com is send to DNS for the IP address the
DNS is returning a re request for gmail-pop.l.google.com and address
1.0.0.0, DNS is expecting Evolution to query for
gmail-pop.l.google.com which will return the actual address
72.14.253.109.
Ping is working fine.
Same is the case for SMTP also only choice of Authentication type
PLAIN is returning with success.
I can not give the details of why, I don't have that much knowledge.
Ethereal, PING and the list helped me a lot. Thank you all for everything.

I have started as you said... but
2) Receiving mail:
Server type: POP
Server: pop.gmail.com
username: razorpeak
Use Secure Connection: SSL encryption
Authentication Type: Password (click "check for supported types"
and you should see that the other possibilities are struck out)
clicking "check for supported types" is opening a window "Quering
Server Please Wait" and it is never returning.
Please tell me what may went wrong.
Thanks of all your elaborate and detail help.
