Igor,
I have to agree with you - see my post on "Evolution not working". I've been using Ubuntu for about six 
months for my business and use Evolution simply because it was the default software when I installed Ubuntu. 
It seemed OK and so I continued with it.

But it seems to have got slower even though it has received only a few thousand emails (which is not many for 
a business, even a one-man business from home). Then it crashed and now I have no access to my emails and no 
solution as yet. No-one on the Ubuntu forums was able to help me - in fact no-one even replied to the post 
there and I begin to wonder if any of them use Evolution!

I posted here yesterday for the first time and now I'm trying to follow up a couple of suggestions. But it's 
bad for anyone like me running a business. Perhaps Evolution is not robust enough and I should be using 
something like Thunderbird? In Windows I used unusual software called Turnpike supplied by my ISP but it 
never let me down in 10 years!

Good luck with your problems!
Peter
