I had this problem a while back also. The other program where the problem showed up was gnome dictionary. Gdict would give an error that a connection to the Internet was not available but everything else that needed it worked fine. Evo would download mail from a pop3 server but wouldn't load external pictures. I searched every gconf and gnome configuration setting I could find but finally had to back up my $HOME directory and start with a clean one recreating all my program settings from scratch.
The only thing that I could think of was that it was from an older gnome setting since my $HOME directory had been backed up and restored through a couple of versions of Redhat.
