Err, yes, that's what Evolution does - that's what the NetworkManager and dbus etc takes care of under Gnome. Try it and see, unplug your ethernet cable and Evo will go into off-line mode - plug it back in and Evo comes back on-line. The problem that people usually have is that NetworkManager is not configured properly. And if you explicitly put Evo into off-line mode (often by accidentally clicking on the icon at the bottom left), then it stays in that state until you explicitly put it back on-line - i.e. the state of NetworkManager doesn't then affect Evo.
