I want to add that the major stability problems with Evolution and
Orca seem to be better if I stick to local spool and folders. Ass soon
as I get prompted for passwords or anything, that's when it completely
falls appart.  I lose speech and all.  I noticed that sometimes I can
do the alt-f2 and restart Orca but other times that doesn't do it
either.  I use IMAP for all my e-mail needs so if IMAP doesn't work
right with Evolution, then I'll have to stay with mutt.  From what
I've seen otherwise, I like Evolution and want to give it go where
possible.  I wonder how good the calendar works from an a11y
stand-point.
