[Evolution] Re: evolution 0.99

A Catastrophe!
 
I can't get the mail folders on screen. When I click on Inbox, Outbox etc. the markation always jumps back to 
summary! The mailbox entry in the shortcut doesn't even show an icon (but the label is there). The contacts 
icon is visible but the entry does not work too. When looking into the menu folder "new" I can only select 
one of
  
  - Appointment
  - Contact
  - Contact List
  - Task
  
but only Appointment and Task work!
 
The menubar does not help me any further because it always only presents the active part of evolution (that 
can't be mailbox in my case because I can't make this part active) - I really hate those dynamic menues, 
bahh, you only end in trouble! There is no reason why you not at least offer the rest of the options in 
subfolders (like netscape did with its task-folder)
  
I considered evolution 0.15 as alpha but now you fell back to pre-alpha!
  
Please help, and please analyse smaller mail clients like balsa and sylpheed because your overblown, fat, and 
coloured evolution does not even have the most normal configuration or formatting options that are more 
important than weather forecast. Sorry, but I am not impressed. My older mails are still in the evolution 
directory but I can't reach them except via a text editor. I use Sylpheed now again and still think that it 
is a better email client than evolution will ever be (because of your enterprise attitutes that make you 
blind for standard comfort and functionality).
  
So I wait for the day when evolution works again and I have to switch back. For a luck, Sylpheed is clever 
enough when exporting emails because evolution is too stupid when importing!
