The problem really is that Evo (and many other mail clients) assume to some degree that when a net connection is present, it is going to be reasonably reliable. I can understand your problem, and am sympathetic, but it is not a "normal" scenario. Consequently I don't think that it is within Evolution that you are going to find your answer. One thing you might like to look at is using the underlying Linux system with Evo - things like OfflineImap to retrieve your mail and store it locally and sendmail/postfix/exim to queue and send your mail - certainly sendmail was developed in the UUCP era so is based around flaky connections. Using applications such as these will offload the network side from Evo since it will only deal with local data - it will certainly stop the annoying popups and complaints from Evo about timeout errors. The backend mail movement processes will then do their job as and when they can. P.
