I actually started using Kmail years ago, then tried Evo and haven't gone back. From time to time I try the new releases of Kmail to see what's changed. I always go back. One reason is simply familiarity of course, but another important reason is that my experience of IMAP under Kmail has been less than encouraging, particularly the performance with very large folders. For example the folder I use for this list, which I access on Gmail via IMAP from Evo has nearly 37,000 messages in it (since I joined the list) because I don't delete any. Evo seems to search the entire folder about as fast as Gmail does, and supports more complex queries. Evo is not without it's problems too, but I know them better :-) In fact I've found the current version (2.24.3) to be very stable and fast, after I complained about some stuff and found a workaround. (Note that I don't use Exchange. People who use Exchange don't have much of a choice as Kmail doesn't support it.) In summary, I'm always open to try new stuff, but the barrier to switching something as fundamental as one's MUA is pretty high. poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
