Re: [Evolution] Evolution 2.0 UI proposal

Ummm.... I have no clue how to do any of what you just said  :)

Truth be told, I could probably hack something together;  but I'm trying to
come up with something that I have a need for, and that I think might be of
benefit to others (in this case, in a corporate environment).  Whatever the
Evolution team comes up with would surely be cleaner (and more stable) than
any hack that I write.

you should look into writing your own gtk program that swaps in/out the
appropriate %gconf.xml file in ~/.gconf/apps/evolution/mail/ based on
the 'location' the user is in. this is what you seem to be wanting...
