Fedora Users — Evolution Pain

Evolution just doesn't seem ready for prime time, at least on x86_64boxes like I have. It is by far the most unstable of my Fedora Core 5applications -- it quits unexpectedly or stops responding at least oncean email session, and often several times. The address book is toodifficult to use -- for instance it won't autocomplete email addresses,and often an address you thought you added to the address book is lostin the bit bucket. I notice it takes way too long to download email --longer than Mozilla Mail, Thunderbird, Outlook or Outlook Express.

I guess I'll try Thunderbird 1.5.0.5 for a couple of weeks and see if itis any improvement. I tried it in the early, pre-1.0 versions and afterseveral weeks it arbitrarily munched all my folders, leaving about halfthe contents of each one "invisible". I hope this version is animprovement.
