Evolution is useless for most users now.
On Fedora-devel, Evolution is responsible for 78% of the emails. The next closest is Sylpheed with 9%
Not all mailer use X-Mailer. Others use User-Agent. With the following: grep -h '^(User-Agent|X-Mailer)' fedora-devel-list -r | awk '{print $2}' | sed 's;/.*;;' | sort | uniq -c | sort -n
I get (for the mail saved in my fedora-devel-list mailbox, which may be biased):
1 AT&T 1 Mulberry 1 Null 1 SnapperMail 1 Wanderlust 2 Apple 2 http: 2 %p!0,0! 2 Pan 4 Loom 5 Balsa 5 Internet 7 VM 8 MH-E 10 Mail 16 KNode 16 Mew 20 SquirrelMail 23 Sylpheed-Claws 32 Gnus 43 Sylpheed 49 KMail 91 Ximian 134 Mozilla 148 Thunderbird 295 Mutt 330 Evolution
There still seems to be about 200 mails not counted. Evolution is still first, but with a lower share. Maybe Ximian is also evolution, though. This is not very relevant, though, since mutt is second, this is certainly biased numbers.
Yes, since we are probably not considering a majority of users that used Evo to get integrated into M$ networks, thus encroaching into M$ territory. Even taking your statements above into consideration, I did a check on the kernel mailing list; Evo was number two right behind Mutt.
