can't send e-mails and can't receive them

[Swantje Schweppe]

Binary package hint: evolution

The button for sending and receiving mails is light grey and I can't click on it.
I can't send or receive mails from the drop-down-menü (also leight grey and no function).
There's no erreor-message. It just doesn't work...

This bug has struck again after today's Lucid update. I regard it as serious when you are not able to send or receive email through an email client.

I've just realised what happened. After today's Lucid package update (which was for things like dbus), Evolution 'decided' to 'Work Offline' without any request from me and no dropping of line. So I set it to 'Work Online' and it's now OK.
