Re: [orca-list] Notebook style apps

[Christopher Chaltain <chaltain gmail com>]

Understood, but I think TomBoy Notes just has a plug in to work with
your Evolution email. I don't think is tied in very tightly with
Evolution other than that plug in. I share some of your feelings
regarding Evolution, but I wouldn't let that keep me from using TomBoy
Notes.

BTW, I will give Evolution another go once I hear some of the
accessibility issues have been addressed. I suspect it's always going to
be a frustrating experience though. Even when it was more accessible, I
found it to be clunkier, both in performance and usability, than
Thunderbird.
