I have been a fan of Evolution for over a year now. They really did a
bang-up job on making a slick, polished, well running application. I
make heavy use of the incoming filters to sort my mail into appropriate
folders (ale, palinux, personal, spam->trash, makemoney->trash, offers
for porn->trash). If only they had usable documentation on the calendar
use for groups...

And it all syncs with my palm pilot pretty well too!
