There are multiple good mail clients for Linux and evolution. Yes evolution looks like microsoft outlook, but unfortunately its also similar in some other inconvenient ways - claws-mail is very fast, thunderbird fits nicely with firefox, kmail these days is also quite snappy, and on the command line mutt is more powerful and faster still. The second part of the answer depends upon where you keep your email. If evolution is having to load many large folder indexes from an IMAP server then it will be slow to start as will any other mailer Alan
