Hi,
I've been an Evolution user for a long time. The main reason I use
Evolution is for its search/indexing features, since I have huge mail
boxes and like to be able to search through them quickly.
In recent versions of Evolution (I guess beyond 2.7, I'm using 2.8.1)
the Search Box at the top
Totally agree. I'm nervous every time I search. Should I use the Search
menu, or the Search box? Do they do the same thing or not? What about
Advanced Search? Is it going to make me give a name to save the search
or can I use it just once? etc. etc.
The whole thing needs to be rethought IMHO.

I know Evo's designers/hackers don't like to see themselves in
competition with Gmail, but... we really need to start looking at what
works.
Thunderbird is closer to Evo in philosophy than Gmail is, and many of
its interface decisions

IMHO, the very idea of having a clickable icon *inside* a text entry box
makes me squirm. It's just wrong wrong wrong. An icon in a text box
looks like a label or type indicator, not something operational.
