This is another one of those annoying bugs related to network-manager. Evolution online/offline with n-m only works if network-manager controls *all* network devices. If there is an active network device not controlled by n-m then it won't be known and will be marked as offline to Evolution. If you don't need network-manager, and if you are suffering from the problem of n-m not managing your network devices then it would seem that you would not need it, then you can restore Evolution's online capability by removing the network-manager package. Then Evolution won't think it is permanently offline. A number of bugs have been filed on this topic and most of them merged into this one: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=549451 Bob
