Well, if it is really that bad, maybe I should give up on this game.
I like the appearance and it was pretty slick and I do like the
calendar and contacts stuff; like outlook but it sure isn't a must.  I
was basically trying to see how many XWindows or GNOME apps I could
really try out from an a11y point of view.  But with these performance
issues with evolution, I think it will be time to hang it up.  I do
like mutt and all but you know.  Hmmm, anyone know how it is with news
groups?

I think I would still like to file a bug concerning the dialogs that
seem to disappear from focus if you alt tab away from them.  To me,
that is a serious problem, whoever it belongs to.

I've heard about Thunderbird and that might show promise; however, the
tree table proglem in gecko is severely broken just now.  That affects
Thunderbird and Firefox.  Try organizing bookmarks some time and
you'll see what I mean.
