Jim,
The last I heard, evolution has been around for millions of years,
give or take an eon. Seriously though, I would be hard pressed to
use that piece of s**t. That turncoat Miguel deIcaza is being quite
the hypocrite by keeping the "Exchange" server access functionality
closed source (and for a fee). You see I was in the community when
the whole Rasterman/deIcaza merger happened and the e-desktop became
gnome. I rember how he evangilized free software and the opensource
movement, and scoffed at anyone who didn't release the source to the
software they were working on. Personally, I will not use GNOME
because of this [KDE is better anyhow], and if I could get away with
it, I wouldn't use gtk either. As for evolution, it is too bulky,
too buggy, and just plain ugly. Stick with Sylpheed or better yet,
Pine!
Cheers,
Nicholas
