![]() I am still happiest with the paper and pencil appt book, so I don't use it as much as if I was a palm-pilot person. I like the evo calendar feature, and use it as often as I use any such calendar. The spam filter in Evo works really well, with the spam-filter web-service turned on. Tbird has issues with deleting corrupted accounts and evo has real issues with routing the emails to separate acct-x-inboxes. Survival of the fittest (email client, that is).Įvo and Tbird both have some issues when you are attempting to keep accounts separate. Honestly now, if 2/3rds of the ubuntu population prefers thunderbird, and it isnt even installed by default, what does that say? how many would prefur it if it was default. choose the best app for the job, not the default one for the desktop. ![]() Why does a desktop manager like gnome even have a program like Evolution? Xulbuntu all the way. Apps should be written to support either set of wigits. They Should have control panel type applications, and they should have widgets. I never understood why the gnome and kde projects think they need to have email / office / calendar / text editor / browser apps. The Unix philosophy sais that each app should do one thing and do it well. Windows wants one app that does everything under the sun. It feels like a windows app not a unix app. My way=2 apps (could problaby shrink it to 1 app with a module that calls up the clients info from the contact database and a mailer frontend) While I understand the aversion to windows based apps and windows in veloppers of the aplications have really had their head wrapped around centralization and standardization.this can also be done in the opensource world without "locking" in the user with propietary standards. Use app (such as Evolution) pull up his name, address and in the notes something about his last call.then click the calendar and add his appointment.check his order? ok that's the webb/database app Use one app to look up his contact info.next app to log in the appointment he made and third app to send him an email.and hopefully the first app can talk to the email client or we have to reenter in all the had an order put in last to open the spreadsheet (or template.or web form linked to a database) Definitely needs some serious love though.įair enough but work smarter not harder is also a good saying.if you have a busines.and a schedule and contacts and mailing lists.appointments etc.one app that does it all and well is better than having to break down each job into meanial task. It has to be said that despite all these flaws, it'd still be better than Thunderbird if it wasn't for that last point. Add and it doesn't appear until a restart. * Contacts/address book is broken for me. This would help alot with my first point. I only use mail, don't want to bother with options for calendars, etc. Annoying when the filter is still being trained and thinks emails from friends are junk. ![]() * Anything put in junk is marked unread, so no way of knowing if new junk has come. * Junk filter is rubbish, catches nothing. Would be nice to have different modes, e.g. * Too many over-complex dialogues by default (Address book is a perfect example: does it really need 4 phone number boxes and 3 mailing address boes by default? Couldn't there just be an add button?). * GNOME integration (a must have and why I prefer Evolution) I use Thunderbird right now but only because Evolution kept mucking up my contacts. I honestly don't see the appeal of having another program for e-mail(
