Agreed, I am not trying to bash evo or anything, its nice to have and
"Outlook Replacement" type app that also has a corporate backing b/c
that is what may corp users need.

Maybe I should not complain and just start making one, this would be
nice :) We'll see how much free time I have... sadly not much at the
moment :(

On that note what do people think about Mono, my C is a little rusty
at the moment(I hope to get back into more C hacking soon), but I know
Java well and doing something like this in Mono/C# is not a far leap
for me. Maybe I should start a seperate thread for this... before we
get to far OT.
