I tried Evolution for two months and have moved back to Thunderbird for 
as much as I can.  I have to use Evolution to get my mail off of the 
Exchange server.

Thunderbird is so much faster than Evolution and I find that it helps me 
be more productive than Evolution.  I hear the same complaints about 
Outlook in comparison to Thunderbird.

More control over things.  I am using TB 2.0 rpm from REMI and it is 
great.  What used to take me hours in Evolution now takes me minutes.

And as some have said, there are bugs that just don't seem to get fixed. 
  This is even repeated on the Evolution mail list.

Now if Thunderbird would work with Exchange server.  Hopefully the 
Openchange libmapi will be able to do this in the near future.
