+1 on that. > * The Date column now shows 24-hour times rather than 12 hour > times, and there doesn't seem to be a way to change it. I think this is not set in Evolution but Evo just uses your timezone. I had this problem the other way around before. > * The Date column now uses "n days ago" for mails within the last > week, rather than the day of the week. My impression is that > "Sunday" is more understandable than "6 days ago". +1 on that too. I think Outlook does this nicely which groups them based on when they were received. Today, Yesterday, <Weekdays>, Last week, Two weeks ago, Three weeks ago, Last month.. etc. Always also showing the day+date as 'Thu 22/9'.
