I can tell you for a fact that since I tried Ximian, I've had nothing but trouble with version issues and package mismatches. Getting rid of it is quite challenging too.
Evolution on the other hand, is quite useable. I've used it now for about 3 months for both work and personal email and have had only a few problems. So, I'll back Bruce by saying - skip Ximian.
