But then maybe you don't want them either. Here, removing evolution will remove just evolution and its help files. There are a few other evolution related things (evolution-webcal and evolution-data-server on mine) that appear to be independent of the main package. > or is it actually good?

Over the years I've tried dozens of mail clients, just about all of them have some features/bugbears that make you want to hurl bricks at the programmers. At the moment, I find it the most tolerable client. I don't run mine all day, just when I want to read mail. Since I have mail trickling in all day long, I'd need to use something else to alert me to mail needing my attention, separately from all the stuff that can wait. I've never bothered to find something to do that, but there are a variety of mail alert programs around. Some will just do the "you have some mail" alert, and either open your mail program, or leave it for you to do that. Others are more featured. > Would it be best to open Evolution or Thunderbird in the morning when > I turn my computer on, and then leave it running all day and just move > it to another desktop or is closing it and reopening it better? What's best depends on your needs and wants. Do you want to spend all day staring at the computer, waiting for mail, answering it as it comes in? Do you want to just check on mail every now and then? I do mine in my spare time, generally. Try a few mail programs, write emails to your self, reply to them (that saves you from annoying other people while you test). See how it handles threading, quoting, editing, address books, etc. That's about the only way that you're going to figure out what program you prefer. > I have turned html off (did I do it properly?) sorry about that, does > the signature come out? You appear to be sending plain text just fine, I don't see any signature other than you finishing your message with your name. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.25.14-108.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
