I've used both, and found thunderbird is much better for mail.  I
found evolution to be a tad unstable, and quite bloated when it comes
to memory usage.  The calendar and PDA syncing was nice, but for just
mail thunderbird is quick, stable, and easier to use.

The age old battle rages on. I recently stopped dual booting with
windows since I got crossover office to run my games close to as well as
windows. I was using thunderbird for interoperability between the two
but since ditching windows I've started using evolution for its gnome
integration. So far thunderbird is winning as far as functionality,
speed, and ease of use but gnome integration is a major plus for
evolution. I haven't been able to configure evolution to send to a
secondary SMTP server, it only wants to send to my default which is no
good. Has anyone else had this problem? Thunderbird did it with no
problem. Thoughts of the Philly community?
