I've never used Evo from RPM's, mainly because I _despise_ them.  I'm
using Mandrake 8.0.  After being on this mailing list for 1 - 1 1/2
years, it seems like a significant number of problems are due to
packaging.

So at any rate, I've been using Evo from CVS nearly the whole time I've
been using it as a mailer (since about 0.5).  I know there are a number
of others on the list doing so as well.  FWIW, I compile Gnome from
source, although I usually wait for released tarballs unless CVS fixes a
nasty bug that is affecting me.

The only downside to using CVS (other than compile time and making sure
your tools are the right versions) is that occasionally when files get
renamed, such as .oafinfo to .oaf, you have to do manual cleanup.
