I just tested it with ExpressVPN, using an Evolution session that was already running (i.e. I turned on the VPN without restarting Evo). My settings are the same as yours. It worked perfectly. I don't know what to suggest other than maybe trying a different VPN to see what happens (for example a free trial version of ExpressVPN or NordVPN). I'm sending this reply with the VPN turned on. poc _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
