Remember me? I was using Evolution back in
1933! Oh wait. That's the year I was born. Nevertheless, I
have toyed with Evolution over the years and never found it too exciting.
But that was then. Now is now.
I had to give up on the Vista install on my
Lenova. Downloaded the latest Ubuntu and started using my Gmail
account. On a Windows machine, I compose in Outlook Express about half the
time for the spell checker. So in Linux, with a certain apprehension, I
configured Evolution and prepared myself for the worst.
I like it a lot. Much better! No, I'm not
using it in esoteric ways. But it seemed very solid. Very
fast. Very straight forward. No tricky stuff. Great spell
checker. And most of all, it configured my Gmail account lickity
split. The easiest Gmail configuration and the fastest of any of the other
email programs, where I have used IMAP, and that includes them all.
(Including Thunderbird.)
BTW. I have been playing around with Windows Live
Mail and I don't think it's going to be well received by Ma and Pa
Americans. Just my two cents. Keep up the good work. And sorry
to hear about the force reduction. Hang in there.
