I dunno, I yoyo between Evolution and TBird - Evolution is much better
as office software but sucks as a mail client whilst TBird is a pretty
good mail client which sucks as office software. The worst aspect of
Evolution's suckiness as a mail client is the annoyingly laggy IMAP
(yes, I have tried it again since they allegedly improved this). The
other thing it doesn't do is show tasks in the calendar - that totally
sucks cos it means I keep booking meetings over task deadlines.
I'm sure someone's about to suggest to me that I use both - and God
knows I've tried. But that tends to screw up my sync cos one uses
funambol and the other uses syncevolution - I keep getting corrupted
addressbooks etc. And since Evolution's IMAP implementation is so grim
it makes it hard to keep even mails in sync.
I don't think anyone's really developing Evolution these days - and
Mozilla isn't going to add features to TBird so looks like both will be
vaguely unsatisfactory in one way or another in perpetuity ;)
Nuffin's ever perfect :D
