For a long time (actually as long as I can remember;) I wondered why
Evolution was our default Mail application (MUA). I was a long time
user of Emacs MUAs, so I feel my background is fairly neutral - but I
have never been able to use Evolution for long. These days I use
Thunderbird since alas I gradually found Emacs too slow for imap. I am
not married to Thunderbird but it mostly does what I want it and it is
pretty stable at least
Anecdotal evidence... here is some anecdotal counter-evicence: I've used
Emacs MUAs in the past too, but have been using Evolution without any
big issues for many years now. And in my experience, people who tend to
have a problem with their mail client switch from evo to thunderbird and
back in quick succession, because the alternative is even worse...
I find Evolution to be completely unusable for IMAP folders. I have
dozens of IMAP folders with tens of thousands of messages on two
servers. Thunderbird seems to handle this a LOT faster than evolution
and crashes less often.
