I used to use Thunderbird entirely until I worked for a company that ran Exchange, so rather than run Evolution AND Thunderbird, I ended up consolidating to Evolution alone. At first it was painful circa Ubuntu 7.10 days crashing all the time, but it was the only usable way I could access exchange with linux since M$ provides around 5% of the normal functionality for non-activex capable clients with their "basic mode" (i.e. screw anything non-M$). I endured and watched it get progressively better starting around 8.04 hardy, to rarely if ever crashing on Jaunty. At this point I'm pretty comfortable recommending Evolution for even enterprise users.
I really have no experience with kmail, so can't say which is "better". I do wish someone would port an exchange module for Thunderbird, with it's new calendaring through Sunbird, I'd flip back in a second still. -mb On Thu, 2009-07-30 at 14:22 -0700, Ryan Rix wrote: > Francis Earl wrote: > > On Thu, 2009-07-30 at 07:08 -0700, mike Enriquez wrote: > >> Which of these email clients do you like (Kmail or Evolution); and why? > > > > I personally prefer Evolution for a few different reasons, amongst them, > > calendar and contacts import more easily from Google sites.
