That would make a good case for Evolution being the default
mail/collaboration client. I'd imagine that most people, particularly
those to whom the default install is of some significance, what a mail
client that just works.


What Evolution's got above the others is pretty poor Exchange support
(as against the others having none). I can't think of anything that
Evolution struck me as doing particularly well. Though, apart from my
attempts at replacing Outlook with it, I think I've only really tried
using it as a basic mail client.
