Help with the icons would be greatly appreciated!

If you show up on IRC (#evolution channel on gimpnet) I can probably
give you some pointers and get you in touch with people of the visual
design team that might be able to review your work. I can give you more
details as to which icons are the ones being a pain point.

As to working with the code, Evolution can be scary, but we have an
amazing maintainers team that should be able to help dive if you are up
for the challenge as well, as per GObject I can help you if you have any
questions, though the #gtk+ channel is a great source of help as well.

We are online pretty much all day, find me as aruiz :-)
