Evolution is fairly much broken in FC5, and there's little movement even on the 'this mail crashes Evolution' bugs, let alone the "Evolution is totally unusable with IMAP" bugs.
What are we going to do about it? One option might be to move it to Extras in the hope that someone will actually start to look after it there. Or perhaps just drop it entirely? Any better ideas? Volunteers?
I don't think you can move Evolution to FE at the moment because, as others have pointed out, there is (are) no readily available replacements that have similar functionality (email/calendar/tasks/memos/contacts).
This throws up a more interesting question: if Red Hat are not going to assign an engineer to maintain Evolution, then how do non-Red Hat people get involved in maintaining packages in FC?

PS. Evolution on FC5 works pretty well for me with an Exchange server at work. The only problem I repeatedly see is passing blank emails through filters causes a crash.
