Justin:
I've always believed that Linux has been missing a fully functional email
client that supports IMAP - and Windows to some degree as well as I'm sure
someone could make a commercial killing by developing a kick-ass client.
Evolution has impressed me with its progress so far but like yourself it
destroyed some mailboxes but admittedly I was aware that it was only beta
at the time. I still have high hopes for Evolution especially as it becomes
more integrated with Exchange as that's our corporate mail server.
My favorite email client remains Eudora but it's not available for Linux so
rare I use these days. My experience has been:
[1] Netscape - works well with IMAP but not intuitive enough and suffers
from a large number of crashes that made me give up.
[2] Evolution - a great start but not quite ready as the bugs need to be
ironed out still.
[3] Pine - first email client I ever used with great IMAP support once you
track down decent documentation on the Web as configuration is definitely
not intuitive. Is powerful once you figure out how to configure e.g.
changing your reply address from [username]@[boxname] has to be done
through editing .pinerc.
My advice would be to give pine a look as it's never given me any problems
then hope Evolution becomes the Linux email client it's trying to grow up
into.
