Hi Daye,

I had a similar issue to the one above where Evolution stopped
sending/receiving POP3 email and after much investigation I found that
the Network Proxy setting in Fedora Core 14 (in the system menu) where I
had set the work place proxy was somehow stopping Evolution from
working. I got the same pop-up window flashing by but no email from
POP3.

I changed my configuration to have the proxy set in Evolutiuon
Preferences -> Network Preferences and set the Network Proxy setting in
Fedora to direct. That got Evolution working and then to allow programs
to access the web from desktop by proxy, I manually the http_proxy
variable to the corporate proxy.

Regards
Phil
