That works if you have reliable, continuous access to the 'net. Not my
case, sorry.
Nothing to say you can't re-enable it yourself. I don't have a
permanent connection to the net but evolution happily holds it in my
outbox until I go back online and can connect to a network. Fedora can
never cater to everyone's needs out of the box without a little
tweaking.
