Use Thuderbird instead of Evolution. Evolution is a tricky product and Thunderbird is great. You can find Thunderbird in the Synaptic Package Manager or you can istal it by typing "sudo apt-get install thunderbird" in a Terminal..

Hope it helps.

Open Evolution. Click on "File" (in the top menu) and then click on "Work Online".

Can you help with this problem?
