        Hi,
check your proxy settings in Edit->Preferences->Network Preferences. If
you use the Gnome Online mail Account automatically configured in
Evolution, then I guess it should go through the proxy too, as long as
your GOA requires it. The 3.2.x is also reading proxy settings from your
system preferences, but you cannot influence it for the SOCKS
connections, it had been fixed later [1].
        Bye,
        Milan
