When doing some actions on Evolution, it complains about "Such action
need to be online". But I'm effectively online, both on NetworkManager
and Evolution button is in the correct state. When I clic for offline
and once more to return to online mode, Evolution complains about
"connexion refused". But wireshark do not see any trafic.
