Thanks for the follow up. I did try setting the Always Online and it
does help. Although each time I start Evolution it says it can't
connect to my Nextcloud, after one or two reconnect attempts it will
make the connection. This happens even if I just close Evolution and
restart it right away.

What is the likelihood of this getting properly fixed as the bug report
is over two years old? Perhaps it could have higher priority by
pointing out that the software violates RFC7686.
