Is anyone else finding Evolution to be a real PITA?
No, I think it's a great piece of software.
I thought v1.4 was bad enough with its regular crashes, but I think v2
is worse with its cycle hogging, and the compose window stalling for up
to a minute.
Hm. I run it on my laptop all the time (which I have throttled to 600MHz
so it doesn't make so much noise) and have found it very snappy.
Particularly when switching between mailboxes -- I found mutt's constant
re-indexing of mailboxes a real pain in that situation. It does use a
fair bit of RAM though; perhaps you're just seeing delays from swapping.
The only thing I miss from 1.4 is the RSS reader.
If anyone can suggest an easy way to export the address book then I
would like to look at thunderbird instead.
If you highlight all your contacts and right-click, there's an option in
that menu for 'Save as VCard', which spits out a .vcf file. I believe
that's a format that Thunderbird knows how to read.
You wouldn't bloody read about it, but Tbird doesn't do Vcard.
HTH,
James.
