[Evolution] Praise and a few problems

[Janne <jan moren lucs lu se>]

To begin, I really like what Evolution has become -- great work! I have
switched to Evolution from Pine a couple days ago.

A few problems have cropped up though (I think you are aware of most of
these, but just to reiterate them):

1) The cursor seems to wander off on its own to the right. As a previous
post on the list stated, this seems to be dependent on the chosen
typeface, and possibly on the version of X used. However, no other GTK
or GNOME apps seem to suffer from the problem. 

2) The last read mail is displayed for a given folder -- even when that
mail has been deleted and expunged. Slightly confusing; a better
strategy is to show no mail at all, I think.

3) The contact book allows for several mail adresses for a given person.
When trying to mail them, however, there seems to be no way to choose
any mail adress other than their primary one.

4) Also in the contact manager, sometimes the manager refuses to
acknowledge the input of more than one mail adress. It seems to happen
when I don't first explicitly choose 'primary mail adress' before
entering the primary mail adress. Then, when entering secondary
adresses, they disappear and do not show up in the contact list.

5) Nitpicking territory, but: Evolution does not remember window and
pane sizes, relative sizes of the fields in the mail list pane or the
choice to use small icons on the shortcut list.


Wish list:

1) It would be nice to have a filter action that pipes the chosen mail
through an external program (so we can use procmailfilters or
specialized mail filters).

2) A dialogue to set the font and fontsize for mail list , mail view and
mail compose windows is all but necessary; the default size is too small
for people with impaired vision. I know that their size is dependent on
the theme used, but with a comfortable size for the theme, the text in
the mails is just too small.

3) I'd like to have an option to remove the mail viewing pane
altogether, and a click on a mail would immediately pop up a separate
reading window. 

But a great job overall, and I look forward to even greater maily
goodness!
