The VPN is setup at a system level - Evolution knows nothing about it. The only issues I ever get are if I start the VPN while Evolution is connected - presumably that's because the connections are persistent (i.e. you don't login everytime the mail is refreshed) and the packets get confused where they are supposed to go. I tend to get in to the habit putting Evolution offline before starting the VPN. > Occaisionally, I'll get > a Google notice that it blocked an attempted access, but it doesn't > happen consistently. Is it a corporate VPN or one of the internet free ones - it may be that Google has blacklisted known sources of problems (like one of the throw-away VPN sites). > > Is this one of the cases, where configure Oauth2 would be of benefit? > I doubt it - I'm no expert on OAuth2, but AFAIUI it's just a different mechanism for authentication (using a token rather than a password), other than that the connection just uses IMAP (or what Google calls IMAP).
