Hi, I'm currently using Thunderbird synced to OwnCloud on my main workstation running Slackware64 14.1. I just installed CentOS 7 on my Asus S300 laptop. It's running nicely, and I'm spending some time getting acquainted with it. I wonder if I should stick with Thunderbird or go with the default Evolution application, since this seems to be better integrated into the desktop, namely the calendar function. On the other hand, it seems like you have to jump through burning loops to connect Evolution to OwnCloud. What are your experiences with these two clients and OwnCloud? Any suggestions?
I have zero experience with OwnCloud but Evolution was my default mail client for years, I was an early adopter of it.
I only use IMAP for mail, so I do not need to sync anything as everything is kept on the server.
I stopped using Evolution because it started having massive problems, it became very frustrating how often my workflow was interrupted because Evolution had some problem that it solved by rebuilding its own index of all my mail folders. That would take a long time, especially on my laptop, and it interrupted my ability to read and send mail.
Since switching to Thunderbird I have not experienced that kind of problem once. It's always there and always usable.
