I've found evolution to be a perfectly fine email client -- but a disaste= r as an nntp client. Evolution insists on sending outgoing mail and fetchi= ng incoming mail *and* fetching all the headers from every newsgroup I read, all at the same time. Fetching the news headers takes for fscking *ever* (not unlike alpine) so I just stopped using evolution and alpine for news= . Thunderbird is my every-day news and email client and I don't switch beca= use it "just works" for me. BTW, evolution claims to be a substitute for the MS Office "Outlook" suit= e, so I'm assuming that whatever frustrations I have with evolution probably originate with Outlook. (But I can't support this claim with real eviden= ce.)
