I think the point Sebastien made in that bug report is that Evolution is
both an e-mail software (entry in "Internet" menu), and a groupware
software (entry in "Office"); groupware in the sense that Evolution can
talk to an MSExchange server, has a calendar application, a tasks
application, contacts application, i.,e the sort of things a groupware
software typically do.

So I guess they felt that the 2 type of usage of Evolution are separate
enough to warrant 2 menu entries. Personally I simply added an evolution
icon on my top panel and never use the entries in the menu.
