I used to love it, then I tried to upgrade from 1 to 2. Horror. Especially since I was using pop and having all my mail stored locally. After finally getting evo 2 to run (sort of) I tried to go back to 1... more horror. Evo 2 did things to my .gconf stuff that Evo 1 didn't like. Such an incredible PITA. Then I tried Evo 2 again, with a fresh lfs install. I figured that since I didn't have an old .gconf laying around everything would be fine. Everything was fine, in fact, until I tried to add a contact. Simply could not. The problem was similar one discussed recently on another list (blfs-support I think). Since then I've pretty much given up on Evolution. I must admit, when it works, it's great. I do miss the rss feed stuff, but hey I guess there's rss readers out there to do that job, right? Would be great if I could find a reliable way to set up the ximian exchange connector every time too (as opposed to sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't). I've been using my powerbook more than my desktop lately, and so Mail.app and iCal, etc. have really taken the place of Evo for my day to day PIM stuff. When I do use my desktop, I use Kontact (aka kdepim).
