Mario,

What is the status of networking in general? Please confirm whether there is an icon at the top right corner of your screen (usually) which indicates that you would be connected through wired (two arrows), or wireless (waves of some sort), or not connected. If you're connected, please make sure Evolution isn't set to Work Offline, which can be toggled from the "File" menu.

Hi,
There is an icon at the top right corner taht looks like waves (that's my wireless) and whenever I connect through wireless everything seems to be OK. But in most cases I use mobile internet (Vodafone USB stick) and when I open Evolution all of my options are there but can't use Send/Receive. Info at the left bottom corner of Evolution says: "Evolution is currently offline because the network is unavailable" although Evolution is set to Work Online and network works fine...

Thanks

Exact same problem here with Natty and a O2 USB stick.

I have the same problem with Natty and whatever network I use... so evolution becomes totally unusable.
