Re: [orca-list] Added support for Evolution's GUI

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

It is more integrated out of the box with the freee office suites than thunderbird, and yes, of course it 
supports imap.
I{ve not taken a look in like 4 years, so maybe there is something new and exciting, or depressing about 
evolution, but as I recall it is more of an 
enterprise oriented mail client by design, where as my old friend thunderbird is more small office and 
private/personal use oriented out of the box. 
Of course t-bird is quite customizable, and with the correct extensions much can be done, but some extensions 
are not accessible, and others that may be 
quite good may not be updated to work with t-bird updates. 
Thunderbird will also always be free, and at the risk of starting a philisophical debate this includes the 
freedom to use some non-free plug-ins and 
probably extensions as well; not to mention the evil branding...lol!
I'm looking forward to taking evolution for a serious test drive, but it will likely have to wait a bit as 
one can only test so many things at a time 
and still remain productive.
This is really good news, and I thank both Mike and any other evolution devs, and of course Joani for putting 
evolution back on the table.
