Evolution may be useful for users need to sync with PDA or connect to an EXCHANGE server. But that is a very small portion. Being bloated, slow and memory hog, evolution is useless. There are other MUAs doing a better job in almost all things.
You obviously are fortunate enough not to have an important enough role in a Microsoft-enabled-lan company, medium size to big.
In fact, it would appear as if your email needs are quite satisfied with gmail, which says a lot :)
If you *only* do email, sure... Evolution is a massive hog. Heck, even the adorable mutt does a better job.
However, as you have meetings, and need to properly reply to invitations, and such other things, even without connecting to the exchange server as I don't (I got to have email forwarded to a more sane server) you will need such kind of integrated features.
I tried Kontact and it seemed yet worse at the time, and integrates badly on the "GNOME way" of the desktop.
Right now I have a series of links in mutt's mail folder in order to access my emails from mutt for when an accident might happen (see how I *don't* trust Evolution even though I use it?)...
If you are unfortunate to work on a Micrsoft-enabled-lan as I do, then you'd appreciate it more.
