As much as I absolutely loath Evolution I tend to agree, the filtering and the way it displays threads seem much more natural than any other mailer I've tried. That doesn't stop the massive amount of unrelated suckage though, like the infamous #217567 wherein Evolution entirely refuses to send mail for no apparent reason or the many other quirks. Evolution currently is the best of a lot of bad choices, it would be nice if somewhere down the line we could find a replacement, especially one that didn't come bundled with all this groupware functionality all in one app. A simple mailer which can inter-operate with something like Contacts and Dates to make a nicely separated PIM suite which shares information would be ideal in my mind. Anything else seems to be begging for disaster to me, complexity breeds the kind of madness Evolution has become. - David Nielsen -- "Ridicule s the only weapon that can be used against unintelligible propositions.
