Yep. 0.8 is the latest. It's actually quite good; very MS Outlook-like.
It's *almost* ready for prime-time. It's lacking a few features (nothing
truly show-stopping), and the IMAP support needs a bit of work (I'm told; I
don't use IMAP myself). It's quite sensitive to the theme you choose in
Gnome, tho. Has a tendency to crash (or show blank emails) if it doesn't
like the theme used. Altho they're still working on that, and - if you stick
with the default GTK+ theme - all is cool.
It's still "pre-beta" they say - the version number is meaningless. It has
no relation to how close they are to 1.0 (i.e., offical release). Official
release is "early this year", FWIW.
Yeah, I use it as my main mailer. You can, too.

evolution to run.
Yeah, that's my only concern. Still, eventually they'll get the RPMs. And ya
never know - maybe I'll be brave, and try compiling from source.
