Yes, you need to set a proxy, but it's not done using an ENV variable, it uses GnomeVFS settings, which you can set in the Nautilus settings (which means of course that if you already have Nautilus set up to use a proxy, Evolution should be using it)
You can manually edit the GnomeVFS settings in your .gconf (or is it the .gconfd ?) directory, but I'm not sure which files & settings you need to put in. > I'm behind a firewall.
