 I've  a couple of questions regarding IMAP operation with RC1 of
 evolution as provided in Debian unstable. Is it possible to start
 evolution in disconnected mode and browse the messages you downloaded in
 the last session  before going online later? I'm running a laptop, so I
 sometimes want to browse my mail without having been connected in the
 evo session.

That would be nice wouldn't it.  I think maybe a command-line option
evolution --disconnected or something similar to start offline would
be good.

 Also, is it possible to view the calendar folder offered by Exchange via
 IMAP as a calendar? At the moment it all appears as a series of
 messages, as do tasks etcetc. Is it possible to assign custom views to
 these folders which would allow correct interpretation of the contents?

That would be so nice, especially if Evolution could use IMAP folders
for calendar/tasks without requiring an Exchange server.

If I were you I'd file wish list bugs for both of these at
bugzilla.ximian.com!

I would like to see some coordination between Evolution and Mozilla so 
that their calendar data is compatible.  Not import/export, but direct 
access from the applications, just like IMAP clients.  I like having 
both Evolution and Mozilla available for IMAP access; it would be great 
if this held for calendar data as well.  

It would also provide a smooth migration path to Linux for Outlook users:

   Outlook/Win  -  Moz/Win  -  Moz/Linux  -  Evo/Linux


Or you could just make Evo cross-platform  :-)
