Re: [PLUG] Evolution vs. Thunderbird

["K.S. Bhaskar" <bhaskar@bhaskars.com>]

I tried evolution twice and gave up both times.  The open source
mantra is release early release often.  The evolution mantra (at least
for me) was crash early and crash often (and yes, crash mysteriously
at random times, and sometimes bug buddy would also crash collecting
information about my evolution crashes).  Also, when total mail
folders get large (tens of folders totaling hundreds of MB), it takes
for ever to start up and shut down (it seems to insist on reading and
touching every folder), and frequently passes the Bhaskar test for
hanging (if I run out of patience waiting for a program to do its
thing, it's a hang, even if it will take less than infinite time to
complete what it is doing).

I run thunderbird.
