Bug Description
Binary package hint: evolution
Platform: Intel Pentium M (Dell Latitude D610),
Bug behaviour: When evolution is switched to offline mode, changing NIC in some way, ie. plugging into a different network, or switching from the wired NIC to the WLAN NIC, will switch Evolution into online mode.
I'm using evolution with the exchange plugin. I'm using network manager to handle the NIC, the WLAN NIC, and VPNC.
The bug has been present in all linux kernel updates I've seen on this system.
This bug looks very similar to Bug #97557 which was marked as a duplicate of bug #82335 , which was reported fixed for Feisty release.
However, the bug is still present on my system, so it hasn't been fixed.
There seems to be no features for reopening bugs, so I'm reporting this as a new bug.

Thank you for your bug. That doesn't look like a duplicate, you manage your network using network-manager. Not sure that's a bug, using the corresponding plugin you make evolution react to the network changes, if you don't want this behaviour maybe you should just not use the option then?
