According to
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+question/9119
information
the reason of duplicate Evolution menu entry is that Internet->Evolution Mail
launches mail component always,
but Office->Evolution launches last component used.
I thing one of these items should be removed.
The reasons are:
* when user uses Evolution Mail for most time (and most desktop users will do
so), the last used component would be Mail anyway
* it confuses users... the most of users recognize Evolution as Mail client
with additions (not a set of equal components)... users simply want to "run a
mail client"
* "Evolution" and "Evolution Mail" looks like synonyms to user... most of
users use short names of applications... they say "GIMP", not "GIMP Image
Editor", etc...
so "Evolution" means "Evolution Mail" for most...
* switching to another component is very easy inside Evolution itself, there
is no need to have 2 items in menu... The situation here is equivalent to e.g.
if Brasero
burning application have one launcher in "Sound and Video" menu to run
cd-audio-burning-component and another in "Accessories" menu to run its
data-cd-burning-component
* When users found that Evolution has two menu items that seems to behave the
same way, they may ask stupid questions in Launchpad... like me ;-)
