[TriLUG] Evolution question

We use exchange at our corporate office, and I had been using
Evolution to connect to it.  I was pleased for the first 2 months, but
then realized that the exchange connector was having trouble managing
messages.  Messages it said it had moved it didn't and messages it
thought were deleted weren't.  I ended up moving back to thunderbird
for stability reasons.  Plus I really didn't want to accept meeting
requests ;)


I do miss the integrated calander though, the calander plugin from
mozilla is a long way off.  I won't even go into the whole poor design
of firefox/thunderbird extensions and how they conflict, that's a
whole seperate rant.
