If you are using the Web interface, then no - although it does still have an IP address on it, but it's the web server (sort of) one. If you use the gmail SMTP server it will have the your IP address on it. > So I am looking > to have the same but using Evolution.

No. If you think it is something that should be in Evolution, then submit an enhancement request in the gnome bugzilla.

In other words ALL your IP traffic will flow via the Tor network, including SMTP. If you are looking for a simple step-by-step guide then, to be honest, you shouldn't be doing it - it's a relatively complex thing and if you don't know in detail what you are doing then there is a possibility of you getting it wrong without knowing and leaking information you think is private.
