Really?

I'm using it this minute.

FWIW, Evolution on KDE is a mixed blessing.  It looks very much like a GTK 
app which of course is a subjective complaint.  But WRT functionality, it 
uses Gnome's clipboard so cut & paste between KDE apps and Evolution doesn't 
seem to work.

Of course I'm ass-uming the preferred desktop here is KDE since the app in 
question is KMail.

The Evolution palm stuff doesn't seem to work under KDE either.

I may be forced into using Gnome just because Evolution is holding me hostage.

Personally I downloaded Red Carpet from Ximian and it installed everything 
for me.  Worked great on Linux.  Not at all on Solaris 8 / Sparc (though it 
is advertised to work on that platform).
