It's still lacking a built-in spell checker, but it seems quite stable
to me. I dropped evolution when it dropped the emacs-like key-bindings.
Admittedly sylpheed doesn't have all the bindings either, but it does
allow me to fire up emacs at the touch of a button. I also like not
having to keep killing stray processes all the time. Plus it seems much
faster. Then again it's just a mail client not 'groupware'.

Maybe the latest evo is much better - once I get FC1 onto my desktop
machine I'll probably try it out again.
