Evolution and Mozilla Mail under Linux
Doc,
Skip Evolution under Linux. It's still not ready for prime time. Mozilla mail is my choice after trying for months to make Evo work and giving up.
I had a consulting customer call me in a panic the other night when his email disappeared. He was using Evolution to view 11k+ messages. Evo would begin to read the messages, then inexplicably die, and then TAKE ALL HIS MESSAGES WITH IT! Rather than exit with an error, it simply ate his email. His IMAP folder was stripped clean. Not cool.
Fortunately, I had set up a backup script, so I was able to restore his email. I then told him to ditch Evo in favor of Mozilla Mail, which had no trouble at all reading in his messages.
