[Evolution] Upgrade trashes network connection?

2017-04-29 Thread bg
I just took the risky step of accepting Ubuntu's relentless hectoring to upgrade my 14.04 to 16.04. Everything came out fine (except for the forced shift to Unity) except for Evolution (3.18.5.2). It is unable to see the (wired ethernet) network connection. How I know this is an Evo problem: 1.

3.18.5.2 on Ubunto 16.04 Is it possible that Evo imposes a limitation on the number of addresses that the BCC field is allowed to contain? I have had a couple of recent cases where a list was truncated from  its original count ??? I find no mention of such a limit in the "HELP" files, but I can im
