Evolution vs. Thunderbird? I've done a few searches - seems much a muchness (Reports 
of Evolution being slow with imap - which is all we use) - but Gnome prefers 
Evolution for things like notifications, calendar, etc. anyone have a view?
Depends if you an email client that works, or a clone of Outlook. That maybe unfair 
on recent versions of Evolution but I've wasted enough time on old versions I'll 
wait till someone says it is fixed before wasting any more time. Some folk seem to 
think integrated calendar is essential but Google Calender invites integrate well 
enough with any Link opening mail client assuming you sync calendar to google 
calendar.

In other news Redhat fixed targeted SELinux policy, switching it off is no longer 
cool. Anyone claiming the same for Evolution.
I str evolution having an attitude problem - or possibly silly hotkeys - I found it hid a lot of mail so it wasn’t visible in the tree but would show up in searching. It did this on a couple of different machines and really annoyed me - I havent been near it since. I use thunderbird and will probably use it until such time as I write my own browser based one, or find a suitable one that does.
