[Evolution] Bug#620260: Bug#620260: Bug#620260: Bug#620260: evolution: ignore its own network settings

[Andrii Borovyi]

OK, It looks like I got too deep in this problem and didn't describe
clear, sorry for that.

The problem is related to the way, how evolution works with mail
fetching/sending. When I'm enabling proxy server in global GNOME
settings, then, evolution (somehow) process all its network requests via
the proxy server. If I must use direct connection to the mail-server,
because of the server restriction, I'm getting into trouble, having to
disable global network settings for getting mail, then enable them once
again etc.

The other problem, I discovered, once proxy in global settings has been
enabled, evolution will follow it until the restart, even if it will be
disable.

Sincerely,
Andrii
