Hi :)
after upgrading all packages to latest GNOME 3 versions from testing
Evolution still starts with "Evolution is currently offline due to a
network outage. Evolution will return to online mode once a network
connection is established". It's impossible to connect it. Evolution 3
did work with GNOME 2 some days ago.
Now Evolution only works, when I start it with the --force-online
option, without an option or with --online only it doesn't work.
$ evolution --online
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "pk-gtk-module"
evolution-shell-Message: Network disconnected. Forced offline.
$ evolution --force-online
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "pk-gtk-module"

That is usually related to a combination of evolution, dbus, and

NetworkManager. With all three installed the idea was that NM would
say whether it had a working network or not over dbus. Tools like
evolution would ask on dbus about the state of the network and switch
to online or offline as networks were hotplugged.
This breaks down when the network isn't managed by NM but NM is still
running. Such as when /etc/network/interfaces is configured to use
ifupdown instead. If NM is running then it won't have any networks
under its control and it fails to recognize that the system does
actually have a network running outside of its control. It will
respond to evolution that there are no active networks even though
there are active networks. That is a bug in NetworkManager.
Depending upon your system and desire the solution is either to ensure
that NM is configuring the network so that it knows the network state
and can report it correctly or to ensure that it isn't configuring the
network and isn't running so that it can't report it incorrectly.

since I've got to tweak too much, I simply will run "evolution
--force-online".

then watch this:

and possibly others by http://www.youtube.com/user/SysAdmGirl
and then ask with a more specific question so we know how to approach
your problem. Sorry for being blunt, but I hope you realise that the
answer you want is not that easy to just explain in a quick response.
