The only time it truly sucked was when I tried to do junk mail filtering and shut it off...I didn't need it anyway as I run my own mail server. I typically leave evolution running weeks on end without issue. Not this version though...I can't get through a whole day. I am very used to the interface and even though I have thunderbird installed and configured on all my systems as well (I'm an imap user so the actual mail program is largely immaterial), I still prefer evolution, even if I have to force it closed ever couple of hours or so. I have no doubt that other programs are more reliable. I am going to monitor RAM usage to see if it shows any evidence of leakage.
