I admit it's been a while since I've used Evolution, but last time I
did, it was also mostly true.

It reminded me of when I had to use Lotus Notes for email at work.
Thunderbird is much nicer.

I'd actually like to see a plain old email client (à la Thunderbird or
maybe Anjal) become the official GNOME email client. Every time I ask,
it seems like the majority of GNOME hackers don't use & don't like
evolution - they prefer Thunderbird, Balsa, sylpheed, mutt or some other
email client - or they use gmail.

Cheers,
Dave.
