I think there is a translation problem here - probably the translation of the messages into German have introduced confusion. The messages in English say that the SERVER is offline, not Evolution. I get that horrible big red box all the time with the IMAP connection to my Gmail account at home where I'm on a slow ADSL line (it never appears at work where I have full raw internet connection speeds). All the rest of my IMAP & EWS accounts are fine and continue to send/receive mail even though the Gmail connection is in error. If Evolution was offline, then you wouldn't be able to retrieve emails for any of your accounts.
