Yes, I use it as my one and only email client for home and work and I have for over 10 years, since I was forced to drop Emacs VM when my company at the time switched to Exchange for email (luckily I've since moved on from there and don't need to mess with Exchange anymore, but I didn't switch back). The biggest problem with Evolution in Ubuntu GNOME is that the version provided by Ubuntu is always at least one and sometimes more major releases behind the current version. This means we don't get fixes or enhancements anymore and reporting bugs to the Evolution team is difficult since we can't test the latest version. In fact some people on the Evo mailing lists are at least subtly dismissive of anyone using Ubuntu since we almost always have old buggy versions. I used to build Evolution myself but since I don't need Exchange support Evo is mostly "good enough" for me and I just live with the annoying things that I know are already fixed in the next version... building Evo from scratch is not for the faint of heart IME. -- Ubuntu-GNOME mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-gnome
