Please *always* state your version of Evolution. For some reason Ubuntu
users seem to think that Evo is an Ubuntu app and that simply stating
their version of Ubuntu is enough. Be aware that Evo exists on many
systems and the members of this list use all of them, so Ubuntu version
numbers don't always mean anything to everyone.
Look at Help->About to get the Evo version.

Hi :)
I would stick with previous versions of Ubuntu. The 11.04
uses a very new interface which still has a few rough edges. The 11.10
will be much better, presumably. I'm staying with the 10.04 LTS where
possible at work as it's supported until 2013, April. The 10.10 is
supported until 2012, April when the 12.04 is released. I've had to
move a few machines to 10.10 and used the LibreOffice PPA to replace
OpenOffice with LO. I have tried 11.04 a few times at home and on Vms and a LiveCd at work just to explore it.
Hopefully
i might get Evolution working next week and maybe then a few more
people will actually start using it rather than just complaining how
slow & broken Windows is (512Mb ram).
Regards from
Tom :)
