Unless you are activating the VPN **after** initial authentication it
shouldn't matter.  Sometimes activating a VPN changes the DNS servers,
etc... which can monkey with already active networked applications. 
Otherwise it cannot make a difference.

I use Evolution to access IMAP/SMTP services over a VPN every day.
