If that is the case, i would try to use as many of the same applications
as possible while you try to come to grips with the other differences.
I've got a bit of a list of some of these apps here:
http://linuxman.wikispaces.com/switching+to+Linux
There are more at other sites focused on switching to Linux.

Mostly the lack of sensible keyboard strokes for simple actions like
next & previous message.

Paul,

I am a brand new Ubuntu convert.  I have been contemplating the move
from Windows for a while.  I downloaded the Windows version of
Thunderbird and ran that for a month or two before the move.  I was
reasonably happy with it.

I finally made the move last week.  Because Hardy automatically bundles
Evolution, it is tantamount to a recommendation.  Anyway, I reasoned
that I should simply accept the vanilla installation - at least
until/unless I don't like it.  So I am trying to make it work the way I
like to work.

By the same token, I am still trying to come to grips with the whole
thing.  It's all very foreign to me still. 

I think you'll see quite a bit of me in/(on?) the List for a while.

Tell me.  What drove you so crazy regarding Evolution?
