Hmm...not good. No, not good at all. I sure don't appreciate an application doing stuff like this without anything in the documentation to even suggest this. Or worse the inability to make it stop (short of a logging in and logging out - though I still need to test whether it actually stops even through that). The more I kick Evolution (like one would kick a tire) the more I am beginning to realize that this program has a lot of problems that still need to be ironed out. The last time I tried Evolution over a year ago it was a joke. Constantly crashing. It's gotten a whole heck of a lot better and the developers and others involved in the 2.0 release are to be applauded but all this makes me wonder if I want to encourage business use of Evolution. I need a robust and rock solid application and am wondering if Evolution fits that bill. Even when I looked at the recent bugs fixed list I couldn't believe that Evolution had, until the bug was fixed, not kept emails on a POP server when told to do that. Among a huge list of other bugs. I tried Thunderbird yesterday but it fails to have some things that are very handy in Evolution. Like flags and virtual folders. I don't know. I suppose I could get involved in helping out with evolution in terms of chasing down and dealing with bugs and I may still do that. But for now I am wondering if it would be best for me to just find another email application that does not seem to have so many quirks that need to be worked around. Decisions, decisions. What shall I do. Anyway thanks for the input Raul. Carlos _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
