Hi all, I recently decided to move from Thunderbird to Evolution. The two main reasons where better integration into GNOME (I run Intrepid) and address book supporting birthdays.
While I was searching on how to do the move as painless as possible I found many who wanted to move from Evolution to Thunderbird but only a few in my direction. I remember that, two releases ago - Gutsy, Evolution kept crashing on me although I only used it for Contact/Birthday management. Backing up and restoring was a pain as well, especially as it was widely recommended with a always crashing Evolution. Well now I did the move and I have to say it was not painful, what helped me was mainly this one http://gaveen.owain.org/2007/07/howto-migrate-from-thunderbird-to.html Moving mails was successful, contacts as well. Mail filters, well I re-did them or made new ones up, PGP and other certificates where easily installed. I admit I still have some housekeeping to do, sorting though mails and reorganise, setting up filters and labels. Now first I hope someone will read this and give it a try as well! Second I was hoping for some input/answers :-) Is there a way to change default window sizes, particular the filter window and the filter detail window are always very small. I can hardly read the first halve of the filter names... When using the To: button on writing a new mail my contacts have a Mr/Mrs... in front of their name. Can I change that without changing the contacts themselves? Are filters automatically applied to new incoming mail? Is there a way to add more buttons to the menu bar? Cheers, Sebastian
