        Hi,
works for me. Up to date (updated few minutes ago) Fedora 27 with:

   evolution-data-server-3.26.2.1-1.fc27.x86_64
   evolution-3.26.2-1.fc27.x86_64
   glib2-2.54.2-1.fc27.x86_64
   glib-networking-2.54.1-1.fc27.x86_64

What is in Edit->Preferences->Network Preferences, General section?
Might be "Default" and as long as you see evolution as such online,
then should be fine. Verifying proxy settings at the same place might
be a good idea as well.

Then I'd check the account Properties->Receiving Email tab->Server
value and verify the address there makes sense (might be imap.gmail.com
or imap.googlemail.com; beware of white spaces) and that you can
actually ping that server from a terminal.

I'm not aware of any eds/evo change which would cause trouble in this
regard, but I do not remember every change there too. GOA-configured
accounts could switch to googlemail.com from gmail.com, if it's it.

With respect of getting current help, you can install evolution-help,
which will then open local help, instead of trying to reach the online
help.
        Bye,
        Milan
