I don't know what went wrong with my Evolution theses last days, but got
something wierd. However, I could find this bug that fits my situation :

 http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3D70535

Authentication Type not being stored correctly in account config

Solution : manually edit ~/.gconf/apps/evolution/mail/%gconf.xml

It works ! So, this what has to be done :

 1. shutdown Evolution: "evolution --force-shutdown"
 2. shutdown gconfd: "gconftool-2 --shutdown"
 3. edit ~/.gconf/apps/evolution/mail/%gconf.xml
 4. Change [protocol]://[USER]@ to [protocol]://[USER];auth=3D[Auth]@
     under <source> (and <transport> if your server requires authentication
     for sending)
 5. Start evolution (gconfd will restart automatically)

Auth in step 4 being Basic, NTLM, DIGEST-MD5 or CRAM-DM5...
