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.
