I concur.  Love the program, don't love the new Ximian looking icon.

I'm going to be my usual contrary self and say that I actually prefer
the new icon. The old one looked rather bland and generic to me. Perhaps
the old one could get included in the stock icon set that goes out with
the whole Ximian package?

I must say that I quite agree with your contrary self; the new icon is
simple and elegant, and I for one don't mind being reminded that Ximian
is almost wholly responsible for this lovely piece of software :)

With the 2001.11.07.16.47 snap I don't have the odd hodgepodge icon that
some people have mentioned.  Hmmmmm... wait, I do... it's in my menu!  I
just never use the menu that's all, Evolution is a launcher applet on my
panel and that icon is just an envelope in a gold Ximian badge.

Oh man, the file that it points to is that new hodgepodge icon, and man
is it UGLY (and illegible).  I haven't restarted my machine in over a
week, but I know when I do I'm going to lose this nice icon on my panel,
which is apparently just loaded in RAM and no longer exists on the disk!
=(  I guess I will switch to the stock gnome-envelope.png icon when that
happens... unless someone has the envelope-only ximian logo that they'd
care to attach to a message so I can have it again :)  Please?

Personally, I always appreciate applications that have at least 2 or 3
icons that you can choose from to suit your taste... even if one is
default and 95% of the users will never know the other ones are even
there.
