(Debian Squeeze 64-bit) I had a weird problem with Network Manager whereby it somehow didn't recognize that I was connected. The effect of that problem, for me, was that Epiphany and Liferea (though, curiously, not Evolution) were always starting in offline mode, which got old very quickly. I found out that Epiphany can be made to bypass network manager by unchecking the "managed network" key in the GConf configuration editor (/apps/epiphany/general/managed_network), but then I realized I don't actually need Network Manager at all, since I'm only using a basic DHCP/ADSL setup and no wireless connection. So I removed it. Problems solved, even though I don't know why Network Manager was acting up in the first place. A little searching did reveal that lots of people have the same problem with Network Manager (as well as other problems), especially amongst Ubuntu users. I never had any issue with it in Lenny or prior, so I just left it alone. But, actually, I never have really needed it. Anyway, the point is, perhaps Evolution can be configured to bypass Network Manager like Epiphany can be. -- Michael M. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Evolution on Squeeze has Send/Receive button disabled
I'm growing old and impatient. Years ago I'd wait a several days in which I'd dissect the problem. It appears that I have somehow activated "offline" mode. That's why evolution would not let me push "Send/Receive" button.

Evolution on Squeeze has Send/Receive button disabled
I have bought recently new AMD64-capable PC with G45 chipset and installed the corresponding build of Lenny on it. I succeeded in compiling and installing the X driver for the video, but I could not start the analog audio, so I upgraded to Squeeze, which brought amongst other things new alsa package. Analog sound works ok now (I cannot tell about the digital) and overall everything looks ok, but evolution cannot send and receive mail from neither of my two configured POP3 accounts, because Send/Receive button is plain disabled. At start the checking of mail does not occur and it seems that some errors appear in the status bar but they disappear too quickly and I cannot read them. When started from the console, only two non-relevant rows of output appear: ** (evolution:4597): DEBUG: mailto URL command: evolution %s ** (evolution:4597): DEBUG: mailto URL program: evolution I'm not sure if this is result of the new Evolution installed, so I'd like some inputs before start asking in other more development / testing mailing lists.
