Easy with the Flame Thrower Linday, macs also cost a lot more and are not as open source. You get the good with the bad. Kind of like freedom.

Have you considered Thunderbird?
I haven't tried this so I cannot attest to it's usability!!!

As for the calender you should be able to export yours to an ICS file and the import it into Sunbird which integrates quite well with Thunderbird.

Good Luck, and I hope you feel better ;-)

Once again, Evolution has stopped working for me.  It crashes with a null

freezes when I try to access my calendar (status line says it's trying to
open ~/.evolution/tasks/local/system/tasks.ics.  I don't have any active
tasks!).  It's eaten up a substantial part of a gig of drive space with mail
metafiles for stuff that's years old.

I can't access any of the information I need from my calendar.  I mistakenly
relied on the program to store a bunch of professional appointments for the
coming weeks and months and now I'll apparently have to re-create a bunch of
this stuff from memory and by making a couple dozen phone calls.  Bah!
Evolution is worse than Microsoft Outlook, and apparently a lot less stable.

I tried re-emerging evolution and evolution-data-server with no luck.  I'm
rebuilding glibc to see if that helps.

Are there any programs out there (other than evolution) which will import an
evolution calendar and allow one to at least see it?  Fortunately, I have my
contact database backed up to an LDAP db, and it seems that evolution still
works for my contacts, but it's taken to crashing regularly for email, and
when composing or replying to email, and I've fallen back to using mutt,
which never crashes.

Bah!  Macs are looking better and better.
