We are different options in the way that users can have the freedom to choice the Operative System that fit better for them. Second: Evolution is NOT Outlook and I'm happy of that. If you want Outlook there's Outlook and Windows and you can go and use them. One thing is one thing and the other thing is the other thing. That's all.

Launching Evolution, or just Evolution 'components' from the command line is well documented; in the documentation. (!!!) evolution --express evolution --component tasks evolution --disable-preview --component mail But, aside, I think these command-line-RULEZ type screeds (and they tend to be little else) don't really contribute anything substantive to the conversation. They certainly aren't going to win over any users - not like improved applications, closed bugs, and better documentation will. And Evolution isn't Outlook 2010, and Outlook 2010 isn't Evolution. Each is itself. Open Source applications being pitched as stand-ins for proprietary / commercial applications is a well traveled road to nowhere. > (As an aside, I've observed that both Fedora 17 Xfce and Debian 6.0.6 > use Evolution as the default email client in their base installs.

So it seems natural to me. It integrates with other applications in a way that has no competitor. ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

What do you mean by "acquire" in this content?

[Evolution] What to do with short polemic praising Evolution?
There's a short 1,900-word (two-page) polemic called "The Joys of the Command Line," which is aimed at Windows users and describes the advantages of runlevel 3 by featuring Evolution as an Outlook 2010 equivalent that can be launched from the command line in a highly flexible and full-featured way. Who on the Evolution Team (or elsewhere) would be interested in acquiring such a document under a GPL? (As an aside, I've observed that both Fedora 17 Xfce and Debian 6.0.6 use Evolution as the default email client in their base installs. That's a bit like both the Tea Party and the Communist Party endorsing the same candidate for election. High praise indeed!)
