I think you could have solved it by upgrading from Outlook 2000 to
Outlook 2002/XP too. (Or by installing an Exchange server for her, but
that's not a very good solution :-)

Anyway, this is mostly fixed in Evolution 1.0.3. You can get a 1.0.2.99
snapshot off the Ximian Preview channel in red carpet, and I think 1.0.3
itself will be out next week.

"Mostly" fixed because we had to lose some functionality to get it to
all work. :-/ But the end result is that we are now more interoperable
with Outlook than Outlook itself is. :)
