I am copying here some reasons why to remove one of these menu items... from one of duplicates of this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/123731
The reasons are: * when user uses Evolution Mail for most time (and most desktop users will do so), the last used component of Evolution (launched by Office->Evolution) would be Mail anyway * it confuses users... the most of users recognize Evolution as Mail client with additions (not a set of equal components or groupware application)... 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 ;-) Note: This all is only my opinion, and I understand some users like to have both items in menu.. but I have talked to several non-experienced users and they all are confused by having two Evolution menu items and they have no symphathy for this duplication.. -- Evolution appears in two - Internet and Office - menus with different icons and labels https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/30692 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
