I'd like to comment Peter Husen's question from back in January: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2008-January/msg00173.html
I'm running Evolution 2.21.92, and I've observed that the default address appears to be the last one filled. To be precise, consider the four e-mail address slots as numbered thusly: 0 - top left 1 - bottom left 2 - top right 3 - bottom right So the default address when composing new mail seems to be the highest slot slot filled, the lower right when all four are filled, etc. I do like that the auto-complete lets you easily mouse-select any of the four addresses, if you don't want the default. That's quite slickly done, and it makes it simple to choose any of the contact's addresses when composing mail. This dropdown also I do have another observation, however. It seems that when adding contacts to contact lists, what actually happens is that the contact list gets the saves actual default e-mail address at the time you add the contact, and not a link to the contact. This keeps the interface simpler and leads to unambiguous behavior, but an unfortunate side-effect is that if a contact's e-mail address changes, you have to update any contact lists that contact belongs to as well. If instead it stored a link to the contact, (and, ideally, a reference to one of the e-mail slots for that contact), then you wouldn't have to update lists when a contact's address changes. I just started using Evolution in December, when I switched GNU/Linux distributions and it was the default e-mail client, and I like it overall. Thanks to the developers for their efforts!
