I experience "hangs" (i.e. freezes) all of the time.  I send in stack
traces every time I do.  They just don't lead to anything.

How much of evolution do you use though?  Single POP account or
something.  Probably those of us experiencing such frequent deadlocks
are using many of evolutions features.  Personally, I use several IMAP
accounts, address books including LDAP and several network based and
local calendars.

No, it doesn't.  Funny enough I just finished saying so in another bug,
so this is the third time this has been iterated in the last few hours.

Well, from all appearances, neither is being done, so I guess Patrick
was asking for the easier of the two.

And that will close how many open bugs?  Or will that allow us all to
have configurable toolbars and whatnot?  I really don't know the
implications of the killing off of bonobo, but it all sounds like
eye-candy (and whatnot else new features) rather than directly working
towards a goal of the fixing of the many open bugs and making Evolution
usable again.

Yes.  Sadly there is no replacement.  If there were, as much as I hate
to say it, I would have been gone a long time ago.

One out of two.  I will give evolution functionality, any day.  But I
would never in a heartbeat call it stable.  It's just not -- not for
anyone doing anything more than reading a POP mailbox and for that,
there are plenty of choices.
