could you please elaborate on this issue? Are the environment variables
in the link you quoted not respected? How can we reproduce the issue?

Two further notes.

1. Could you test if this is still an issue in the current version of
Evolution?
2. If yes, it would be great if you could open a bug upstream.


Thanks,

Paul
