I suppose I should say something here.
I used the 2.x trees of evolution for some time, perhaps a year or so,
and while it would work most of the time, reliably would not describe
the experience.
I have not used it since mmap malloc, or since 3.7 came out, mainly. No
one I know uses either the 1.x or the 2.x version of evolution on OpenBSD.
In general, the fact that gnome and evolution 2.x have many problems is
a sad state of affairs that promises not to get better until someone who
enjoys spending time with gdb can step up to the plate.
Thanks, Marc, for putting in so much time in the past, even into
software that hasn't made it into the ports tree (evolution 2.x). Your
efforts are noticed and appreciated.
IMHO, do what you wish with evolution... it and gnome need some serious
debugging.

Ok, Evolution (the mail client) blows. The version we have in-tree is
old, unsupported and buggy and while I've tracked the 2.x trees of
Evolution for quite some time, it's never worked right. Ever. The new
malloc stuff was the last straw.
So, I want to remove the version of Evolution we have from our tree.
There's no sense (that I see) in keeping it.
Thoughts?
