Using Evolution with gmail, the following setup should be used:

Server Type: SMTP
Server: smtp.gmail.com
Server requires authentication - ticked
Use Secure Connection: TLS Encryption
Auth Type: PLAIN
Username: full gmail address.

With regards to codecs, try (after enabling the extra multiverse/restricted repositories) running

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

Can you help with this problem?
