# Why is Evolution's mail component offline?

You may have started Evolution with the --offline commandline option to enforce offline mode.

If this is not the case and Evolution normally works but has suddenly stopped connecting to your mail accounts, you may have unintentionally clicked on the connection icon in the lower left corner. When connected, the icon resembles a pair of sockets joined together. If the sockets are open, there is no connection to your mail accounts (and the Send/Receive button is grayed out). Click on the icon to change its state.

Si le problème persiste et que vous êtes sûr de ne pas avoir cliqué sur l'icône mais que vous pouvez toujours atteindre le réseau à partir d'autres applications sur votre système (navigateurs, FTP, SSH, ping, etc.), il est possible que votre connexion réseau ne soit pas configurée correctement. Pour plus d'informations, veuillez consulter Aide du bureau ou demandez de l'aide sur les forums, listes de diffusion, etc. qui concernent votre distribution.

If you want to force Evolution to be in online mode, make sure that Evolution is not running and open a Terminal window and type the following command:

GIO_USE_NETWORK_MONITOR=base evolution

Evolution's forced offline mode only refers to mail and does not apply to contacts and calendars.
