Hi, Up until recently I'd have said Evo, but since updating to 1104 I've had some pain for some reason.
I connect to an SSL/TLS imap service (rackspace, can't say enough good thing's about em) and after some patches about a week ago Evolution on my main desktop refused to access the email. I deleted all my settings folders & cache, started again and still no go. On my laptop (Also 1104) it was working fine, but now it wont send (ssl/tls smtp). So I've gone back to Thunderbird which is the other 'mature' contender as far as I'm concerned. So far so good. My message rules run on the server end, so the only thing I had issues transferring was the contacts, which I simply shifted by vcf's in a folder on the working laptop evo install. I've got about 150 folders, a shade over 9k items and using about 4Gb, with four 'identities' I use regularly. Performance so far has been far better than evolution, and I wasn't using the calendaring anyway, although I see that there is a plugin one so I might have a play. Thunderbird has the advantage of being 99% the same on Windows and Linux, so things look the same no matter which PC I'm using. Hmm, just noticed the font is silly big in thunderbird by default though, will have to look at that. Cheers, Him.
