Now have Evo 3.2.2 and although it is in online-mode & I have an internet connection, I get told that Evolution is offline and therefor unable to fetch new mails. In the "status bar" at the bottom of the screen I'm informed that Evo tries to retrieve messages from the servers, (All IMAP accounts) but does not make any progress. In fact Evolution seems to have only issues with Yahoo Mail and Gmail accounts. Other mail accounts work quite well (Those also use IMAP). Any ideas how I could fix this issue?I know several people have already answered this, but just to be a bit more explicit: IF NetworkManager is running THEN Evo will ask NM for network status ELSE Evo will make its own determination (not sure how). IF NM is installed AND NM is configured to manage your network interface THEN NM will report connectivity correctly ELSE it will report "Offline" even when you're on-line. It turns out that problems with Offline in Evo are often caused by NM not being configured to manage the interface. Hope that clears it up.
OK, I'll look into the NM settings then. Still I do not understand, why Evo works with some mail accounts but not with others. It seems to me that it has a problem with certain mail servers.
