first of all i like the new evolution 1.1.1. it looks cool and works
fine so far but here are some disadvantages that imo was bad.

a) signatures: i am used to the way of 1.0.8 where i could point to my
signature file and it gets used. with the new evolution i dont have such
an option and get pointed to the evolution editor to create a new one.
please make it possible again to point to a file instead.

b) reading new mails: i got horrified that 'n' doesn't work anymore. it
got replaced by pressing [ or ] i am using a german keyboard and not a
US keyboard so i need to press ALT-GR + 8 or ALT-GR + 9 to either read
new mails or not. i am not sure if this is changable with exporting LANG
but i prefer using english native language AS IS together with a german
keyboard layout.

c) index files.

    394240 Sep 22 22:57 mbox.ibex.index
    397556 Sep 22 22:57 mbox.ibex.index.data

create a mbox file and try copying 8000-10000 emails into that, you get
a 40-50 mb mbox file. now delete as many mails until 500 emails remain,
the mbox file decreases to e.g. 5 mb but the index files are keeping
their large size AND increases by every new added message

d) addressbook

same as c)

i hope you welcome this feedback
