Hi all,
Just sharing my experience with Evolution 0.8. Had a really hard time
installing it but finally got it going. Have only been using it for a
day. It does support threading. I am still learning how to use it and
hopefully this message is not in html. I have been using Mozilla 0.7
but it was just too slow for me as my machine is quite old. So now I am
looking for a new mail client and a web browser. (Planning to give
Konquerer a go but not sure if it would be a problem running it on
Gnome. As I understand it is a KDE app)
Anyway two problems I am having with Evolution 0.8 are:
1. it crashes when I want to run Calendar. I think it is to do with the
interaction of Evolution and Ical. (The way my installation was going I
didn't expect too many things to work.)
2. and just a question if Craige or someone else managed to find where I
could set the client to fetch mail periodically from the remote mail
server so I don't have to keep clicking on 'Get Mail' button all the
time.
Cheers,
Alen
