Re: [Evolution] offline on opening

[Paul <paul lavender-fam net>]

Perhaps I should have explained more carefully. The machine which has
evolution running is a desktop (running Debian) which talks to a server
(with a POP server) on a home network. What puzzles me is that most
users, on the same machine, open Evolution online, but only one opens
offline.
