evolution does ignore system wide proxy settings

Confirmed here, Evolution can't connect when using proxy. The proxy suppose to be applied system-wide and Evolution is set to use "Use system defaults" under "Preferences > Network Preferences"

Thx Bayu, iirc you could change the status to confirmed if you can confirm it :-) - I've done it
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Status

This bug is an upstream one and it would be quite helpful if somebody experiencing it could send the bug the to the people writing the software. You can learn more about how to do this for various upstreams at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. Thanks in advance!
