Evolution sucks??

[Chris Linstid]

I've used evolution on and off a few times in the past, but I always found
it to be more trouble than it's worth.  This is especially true if the
exchange back-end isn't setup correctly to deal with it.

I generally just use Thunderbird for regular email usage (which is 99.99% of
my usage) and run Outlook on a Windows box for the rare calendar usage.  I
suppose that's difficult if all you have is the Linux system.
