you were tryin a cooker version, you can't base your judgement on that,, cooker is beta packages,
they take all the latest stuff, wrap an rpm around it and offer it for download.. imagine getting a daily updated cvs snapshot of KDE and trying to run it.... you most likely wouldn't get it to compile.. although thats alot risker then usin a cooker rpm, its the same principle, cooker are not usually stable releases. which would explain your problem... having said that, to each his own. ;-) rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of shipahoy Sent: Friday, 2 November 2001 9:33 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Evolution On Thu, 1 Nov 2001 14:14:52 -0600 Gary Traffanstedt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm looking for user experiences with Evolution.

I've tried the latest version 0.15 off cooker. I liked the look of the address book which I thought might serve my purposes rather well for listing detailed business addresses. I spent an hour or so carefully filling in addresses, went to create a new category and the machine froze solid putting an end to that experiment. I won't trust it with my data anymore. Evolution is not quite ready for mission critical functions yet. Its also a bit Redmondian for my taste, and I can't figure out how to do *proper* rather than US English in the spell check which makes it less than useless for my purposes. I'll stick with Sylpheed which is in rapid development and coming along very nicely. It handles huge folders (20megs or more) and mailing lists better than any mail client I've ever used.
