Sorry, I sent that too quickly. The answer used to have slightly more information but seems to have been edited. What it said before is that some distros of Linux use NetworkManager to handle network configuration, but in that case you have to be sure to use NM and not a manual setup, because if NM exists then Evo believes what it says about the connection state. The options are either to uninstall NM or to use it to configure your network. I've no idea if this applies to your distro, but as you're using KDE it's just possible that NM is installed but not running. poc _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
