First of all, kudos to the whole Ximian team for putting together this IMO excellent product. After some fiddling it became my client of choice and I haven't had any issues in months except for some 'closing' problems (Waiting for component to die -- ...) from time to time.
First proposal/request: I like the essential idea behind the workgroup/pim features, but I'd rather have a choice. Let me explain... I use evolution mainly because of its _great_ imap-handling, it's the first (gui) mua that really does everything I need and does it _right_! But I only use the calendar-thingy on one system, and I *know* there are a lot of people that rarely of never use the calendar/tasks features. The summary feature is a nice addition, but it's a not really something everyone *needs*, right? Don't get me wrong, I really like those features, on my main system they are all enabled, but what I mean is that these should be 'options/plugins/whatever'. I managed to get evolution run as an imap-client only, by renaming the oaf files, so they're not loaded on startup, but it would be really nice if there was a more 'clean' way of doing that. Because of the nice modularity in the code of evolution, I 'guess' that would not be such a major obstacle to overcome (correct me if I'm wrong here, I'm not much of a programmer...). Second, it would be really nice if you get more control over the imap caching. I work in mechanical engineering and get a lot of large files in my mailbox. Header caching is a major feature, but I hate it that I have to manually delete all those mime-files from the cache... You must understand that if you read your mail on different systems, all those files (of sometimes a couple megs each) get cached in all those places, taking a couple of 100Megs on each system after a couple of weeks. It would really be nice if there was an option to purge the mime-cache on exit/command/...
