Hi Koen,

 Which version of evolution are you using ?

there isn't any desktop-wide standard yet on how an application might 
know if the network has gone down (as a whole) or if it is just its
connection with a given server that is somehow in trouble.

You could have evolution go offline by clicking on the 'network icon' on
the bottom left of your application window - so it explicitly drops the
connections.  You may observe that depending on your settings, evolution
takes some time to download content for offline use and
hence might not go offline instantly.
