The ostensible reason for favouring Evo is that it's a more-or-less Outlook replacement, not just a mail client (stop laughing at the back there). I myself only use it for mail, and I'm lucky in not having to do anything in the MS-Exchange parallel universe, but those who do don't have much of an option (complaints about Evo bugs in Exchange support to /dev/null please). Even outside the MSE Twilight Zone, plenty of people seem to use Evo's calendaring, task management etc. features. Some of these are coming to TB via plugins, but they aren't really there yet AFAIK. > I still believe in the "best of breed" approach to applications.

There's a lot of Not Invented Here syndrome around. However the choice of a default app doesn't in most cases have much effect given that you can usually install your favourite candidate very easily. 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
