Hi all, I am becoming very fond of the Evolution email client. Am I alone here? It seems to do everything Thunderbird does, and some things better.
What I think is better: 1. The spell checker is better. Instead of running the spell-checker after you hit the send button, you can make it do it on the fly, identifying mistakes as you type them. You don't have to go through the dialog that Thunderbird does, asking you to confirm known good stuff that you haven't added to your personal dictionary yet. 2. I use a sig that is generated on the fly. In Thunderbird, this requires me to run a cron job every couple of minutes to update my sig (ugh). Evolution allows you to run a script to generate your sig. No need for the cron job. 3. It has a calendar built in. 4. Has hooks to use Exchange (this is important to some folks). What I think is a drag: 1. The dependency list. I'm certain this alone keeps many folks from ever trying out Evolution. However, if you use GNOME, you should consider looking at Evolution. Not sure what prompted me to post this. Just conversation, I suppose. After all, this *is* a chat list. -- Randy rmlinux: [bogomips 3923.96] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.1] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.5] [Linux 2.6.12.6 i686] 23:31:26 up 10 days, 8:40, 9 users, load average: 0.42, 0.20, 0.19 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-chat FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
