Maybe Evolution should be split into a daemon (merged with e-d-s) that
fetches emails, updates contacts and calendars (using goa accounts), and
a UI that would use this new e-d-s to interact with the already fetched
data. This way, one could easily create alternative email clients or
calendars on top of e-d-s.
