I know I already explained this on the list (like others, too) but I
cannot find my sent message -- so from head again...
There are numerous reasons, why the Summary page will be dropped. All
those sum up to the final decision for Evolution 2.0:
- The code AFAIK is unmaintained for quite some time now.
- It does not fit into the new UI, unless it gets rewritten.
- The current layout is very inflexible.
- There are better RSS aggregators out there.
- other reasons I forgot...
The decision, to drop the Summary page for the Evolution 2.0 release,
does not mean, it can never come back. In fact, there seems to be demand
for the Summary page. If anyone comes up with a clean, maintained
implementation that fits into the new UI, it likely will get added
again.

You still can use the folder bar to see all folders containing new mails
at a glange:
View / Folder bar
A vFolder containing any mail arrived within the last 24 hours may be
handy, too.
