I used evolution for years (since something like 0.4!) until about a |
| 27 |
month ago when I gave up and moved to thunderbird. I have a mixture of |
| 28 |
local (courier imap), exchange and other imap accounts. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Evolution has some weird bugs and in general doesn't work when accessing |
| 31 |
some imap backends alongside other clients to the same account (emails |
| 32 |
may be deleted on my desktop, but get undeleted on next access from the |
| 33 |
laptop is one), as well as issues with its calendaring. Its |
| 34 |
frustrating, and been getting worse. As well, I am now in active gnome |
| 35 |
squashing mode since Ive decided to not buy into the whole |
| 36 |
udev/systemd/gnome3 mess in the future so it became an easy choice that |
| 37 |
evolution had to go :) |

Thunderbird in comparison has been much nicer. Two problems I have |
| 40 |
though are it seems to fragment memory (on a 32bit system) causing |
| 41 |
suspend to fail on one system, and while its quite happily remembering |
| 42 |
my email passwords, it refuses to do so for the calendar passwords when |
| 43 |
connecting to a radicale backend (well it remembers them, but pops up a |
| 44 |
cancel/ok dialog for confirmation on every calendar on first starting |
| 45 |
thunderbird - maybe due to a prematurely squashed gnome whose function |
| 46 |
needs restoring? |
