        Hi,
yes, it seems like it's having a problem with certain server, with
certain message in certain folder. I'm pretty sure this is not caused by
network manager (based on the information in this thread), because with
it it's all-or-nothing, either all accounts will be able to connect to
remote machines or none of them.

The above is "for offline-mode", which just means that it failed to
download message from the server, because the FETCH response from the
server had missing message body (it means the evolution could talk to
the server and was already connected to it).

Maybe the error wording was confusing in a way that it might rather mean
that the connection to the server failed, thus the account will work
only in "offline mode" - but only that particular account. I'm guessing
here, having exact message may help to clarify.

You identified this option correctly, as being related to the "for
offline" error message, the only thing is that any change in mail
account requires restart of evolution.

I suppose it's because evolution got disconnected unexpectedly. With
Google server you can try to use googlemail.com instead of gmail.com in
addresses for Receiving and Sending parts (or vice versa). If it'll not
help, then I would try to switch from server type IMAP to IMAP+ (or vice
versa), as it also sometimes helps. Note both these changes also require
restart of evolution.

Apart of that I have not much idea what can be wrong, just these little
thoughts.
