Without Network Manager installed, I can usually send an email (via SMTP) immediately after startup. However, a few minutes later, pressing send/recieve, or composing a new email leads to messages that just sit in the outbox. I can use telnet to connect to the SMTP server Evolution is configured to use, so that isn't the issue. The status in the send/recieve dialog is "Waiting...". I did not have this issue with Edgy or Dapper. With Network Manager installed, -and- networking enabled, the issue goes away. If Networking is disabled in Network Manager, IMAP works, but SMTP does not. My uninformed guess would be that there is a check missing in the evolution code for SMTP, where is should be checking if Network Manager is running, but is rather assuming it is by default.
