Evolution has support HTML e-mail for a long time.  I have no idea what
version of anything is included in Ubuntu X.

Searching remote mail will depend on the server.  Some servers implement
search poorly, others do well, and sometimes it is a configuration
issue. [In Cyrus IMAPd it depends on squatter indexes].

I don't see how the search is "rudimentary".  Show me all the e-mails
with mention "lvextend" .. BAM!  There they are.
