Bug Description
Binary package hint: evolution
I have a typical situation
I am across my office proxy using ubuntu 11.04.
I have set the static ip and also the network proxy to entire system through network proxy settings.
I use and like evolution as my mail handler and i am using it for almost 5 years now. This problem which i will tell you was not there before ubuntu 11.04.
To update i use to use apt-get command from command window. it was not working after upgrade to ubuntu 11.04. from ubuntu community i found out to add lines given below in my /home/`/.bashrc
export http_proxy=
export https_proxy=
export ftp_proxy=
In evolution I have set network preferences as use system defaults.
Now when io try to use evolution to send and receive mails it does not work it gives error of time out.
Next when i set network proxy system wide to direct connection and then run evolution from user prompt in command window then the evolution starts fetchin mails and sending them. I tried with removing the lines from .bashrc and then using system proxy settings it never worked.
i ried to set proxy in evolution separately it still didn't work. This has become a great unconvinience as if i use direct connection settings in network proxy settings it stops browsers and other applications from using internet across proxy and only evolution fetches mails. and vice a versa. Am i amking any mistake. can this be set right.
Please help.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
According to the title you are having a 'crash with a segmentation fault', in your description you do not mention this anymore and provide a lot of configuration settings/tries.
Could you update your description by telling when the crash occurs (which configuration settings are at fault), and provide a backtrace so we can (better) see what happend?
