We don't want to scare people off Paul :-) Judging by the balance of
problems discussed on this list, I'd say the absolutely essential info
is the Evo version and distro, and the type of mailstore (local, POP,
IMAP, Exchange etc.) because if you don't mention it, it's the first
thing anyone is going to ask.

For the rest, use your judgment (e.g. if you have problems with
contacts, explain how you have them configured, ditto with filters
etc.).
