I've watched this whole thing go round and round in circles. I agree with Daniel that OO.o doesn't need a mail client. I am not too sure about Evolution though. I think what is needed is good communication lines with the Gecko/Thunderbird/Sunbird developers. So that the two suites work really tight together. Sunbird is going to improve, possibly into a full fledged PIM. Copying and pasting between these two suites (I use Seamonkey at work on windows) is low hassle. At home, i use sylpheed as a mail client. It pretty much opens in 1 second ready to go from the menu. Lean, tight and GUI.
