Bug Description

Each time I start evolution, it seems to have set me as working offline. I have to click "File -> Work Online" to start working again.

My email server uses IMAP. Please let me know if I can help to debug more.

Your network interface is probably not configured through network manager and evolution thinks therefore you are offline.
I think this is more a problem with network manager than with evolution.

Is network manager the default in Ubuntu? If so, I suppose we should move this to network-manager.

Do you know why is my network interface not configured properly in it?

I started having the same problem after I was prompted for a distribution upgrade by update manager. I have an always on broadband connection and Evolution was working fine till the upgrade.

Uninstalling Network manager sorted out the problem. Thanks.
