I agree with Milan, I find the feature where Evo goes back to a
previously selected email _VERY_ useful. I use Evo email to do my
client billing and often I am working back through a the work I did in
the previous month and have to switch between the Calendar and email
panes (I appreciate I can open separate windows with one for email and
one for calendar but often for various reasons  don't do that) and it's
extremely useful to me that Evo remembers the previously selected email
when I go back to the emails from the calendar or wherever else.  So if
anyone is wanting this behaviour changed could you make it a setting so
that I can revert it to its current behaviour.
