Surprisingly it worked out very well. Evolution starts and horray! it
works quite stable (of course it has the normal bugs and crashes
everyone other reports but I dont seem to get any special home made
incompatibility crashes). Yesterday in spite of all the "use at your own
risk warnings" from the developers Evolution successfully downloaded all
the 1014 mails of the evolution mailing list piled up in my POP3
account.

I installed evolution on my Suse 7.0 Linux distribution at work this
morning and it worked out successfully with this distribution too. You
have to install all non devel marked rpm packages in the dircetory
above, even if rpm doesnt ask for each new version and restart the
computer after that, to sucessfully install evolution.  

Good Luck!

All developers out there thank you for such a great Mail client!
Evolution is wonderful!
