Sure, dropping features will always annoy some of the loyal users.

Speaking about something stinking: I do have multiple accounts I use on
a daily basis and even some more. Yes, I gave the Summary page a try
every few months and even configured it to the best it provides.

Sad to say, but it is practically unusable for me. Besides some other
personal showstoppers, the Mail Summary is the worst to me: Even with
"full path" enabled, I end up with 3 anonymous "Inbox" named entries...

I would love to have a really good Summary page for Evolution, too.
Maybe some day I will use some kind of Summary page as well, but it has
to be way more flexible and configurable as it currently is.


On the other hand: This is Open Source. Anyone can start hacking a
Summary Page. If it is good and fits into the new UI, it eventually will
get back. The component design and some backend changes for the
forthcoming release probably make this task easier.
