Clarification about NetworkManager: Evolution used to depend on NetworkManager for network status. It doesn't anymore. Network monitoring is now built directly into GLib, and that's what Evolution/EDS has been using since (I think) 3.6. I'm not exactly sure how GLib's network monitoring works. The docs only state it's based on the kernel's netlink interface, but I think it works with or without NetworkManager installed. GLib also lets us test reachability of specific host names, so we can more gracefully handle scenarios like a disconnected VPN or switching WiFi networks. Evolution 3.12 will take full advantage of this.
