I'm using the 0.99 cooker RPMs, which scared the jeebies out of me at
first.  After doing a "urpmi evolution" and installing all the
dependencies and evolution, I promptly started it up.  Well, I couldn't
access my Mail or Contact folders.  Arghhh...  Searched the Ximian bugs
and found one that says you need to do a "killev" and continue on.  

Now, it works great.  They fixed all the bug problems that I had with
0.15 (so far).  

I really have to congratulate Ximian on choosing the right direction to
push to get linux on the desktop.  I've been using linux since RH6, but
never wholly switched till I moved all my Outlook data to evolution. 
Now, I'm on a Windows free computer and haven't looked back.
