This is a techno-political discussion :) Anyway TB is freely available, so this is more of a moot point. > Anyway which one do you think is better? with reasons please. > I have used TB as well as evolution for my work mails (The server is Exchange server for calendaring and mails, + IMAP/POP support). For everything, I find TB (IMAP) + Lightning + Davmail + Enigmail (TB Extension for GPG) as working better than Evolution. This combination still has some bugs, etc - but no other good alternative. Davmail basically acts as a Calendar gateway to talk to the exchange server using Caldav (OWA or Outlook Web Access). This allows a better calendar experience than just lightning, if you need Exchange Calendaring support. If you're looking at a purely local calendar, then davmail is not required. HTH. Let me know if you want more details.
