I prefer Thunderbird by far.
And I'm saying this after using Evolution for a few months.

Thunderbird's usability, features like Tabbed browsing, configuration
options, etc. far overshadow Evolution's.

Features like GPG and Calendar (Lightning plugin) are awesome.

Even I wonder why most Distros don't have Thunderbird as their mail client
as opposed to Evolution or even Kontact.
