Re: [Evolution] downloads page

[Tom Davies <tomdavies04 yahoo co uk>]

Hi :)
It is part of the same question.  I'm just having to reach a lot further back than i expected. 

Lets look at another tack.  Why is Evo having to drop from a 6 monthly to a 1/year release?  Does it lack personnel?  Do the devs often find themselves caught-up in answering questions instead of doing coding?  Why aren't more normal users able to help users with common questions? 
Regards from
Tom :)

Please start a NEW THREAD when having a new topic. Your question has
nothing to do with "downloads page".
To answer your question: Because Evolution is a MUA[1] application and
not MTA[2] application, and because there is no need to reinvent the
wheel. If you want an MTA, use Sendmail or fetchmail. If you want a
command-line MUA, use Mutt or something similar.
