I think Evolution "needs work". Will and I saw a couple of things yesterday
that seem really broken:

I found the following problem:
1/ Start Orca
2/ Start Evolution (you'll need a few messages present in the mail box 
you're reading).
3/ Get focus to the mail message header list and to a particular message.
4/ Press Return to show that message in its own window.
 (Orca will now position the focus and text caret on the first line of 
the message
 body and speak/braille it).
5/ Press Control-d to delete that message.
6/ Another message is displayed in a separate window BUT the actual
 message that is selected in the mail header list is totally different.


Will also mentioned:
"I'm seeing that the message shown in a separate window has no relation
to the message selected in the message summary list.  For example, I can
press Ctrl+{PageUp,PageDown} in a window dedicated to a message, and I
don't see the message summary list in the Evolution main window update
itself."

I'm currently not sure what the best thing to do here is (with regards 
to Orca).

I am going to file a couple of Evolution bugs on these bugs/features though.
