Another option might be 'BlueBubble', which you can read about on
Fedora Planet. One of the fedora dev's has built *most* gnome 2
packages for Fedora 15 and made them co-installable alongside their
gnome 3 counter-parts. This is a limited time offer; he's only going
to maintain it until his remaining issues with gnome 3 get worked out.
Last I read that meant he'd probably support it for F16 and not
beyond.
