Out of curiosity, what about Evolution do you want that Mozilla doesn't have? Mozilla mail (or possibly Thunderbird) is just as good an e-mail client (if not better). It even has calendering and address book. It does not have a to-do list that I know of, which is why I'm wondering if people actually use that.

I used evolution for several years until recently.  I switched from
mozilla to Evolution at about evolution version 1.0.  I switched
back to a mozilla mailer (thunderbird) in the last several months
because:

a) evolution kept taking usability things away (keystrokes to go to
   new message, next and previous, etc.. [yes, I know you can use >,
   but why did they change it]).
b) GPG signing verification horribly broken when using IMAP.
c) Unwillingness to fix problems and even outright dismissal of bug
   reports by the evo developers.
d) Complete instability of later versions of evo to run on my system
   (this one is probably specific to me).

Mozilla Thunderbird does almost everything I need for mail.  With the
Enigmail plugin, it will even do GPG signing.  The one thing it won't
do is let me setup multiple e-mail addresses for sending with no
associated receiving component.  But, that's an open bug and being
worked on.  In addition, it works on both my linux box and my iBook
running OS X.  It also works under windows, so I would suggest
looking into that if you need a good mailer.

Cheers,
Tanner
