As for epiphany, you should turn off (using gconf-editor) apps/epiphany/general/managed_network. I'm not sure, but I beleive it was allready mentioned on the list( I saw it somewhere). It was annoying for me to.
I do not use Evolution much, but I can see apps/evolution/shell/start_offline in gconf-editor. Looks that Network Manager thinks you are offline unless interfaces are in "roaming mode" and connected. That means that even if interfaces are properly configured trough /etc/network/interfaces and connected, NM thinks you are offline. There is bug #415891 reported as I can see, and things are going to improve in newer versions of NM.
