Mozilla Thunderbird

Who are you to decide what problem I have?  Evolution works just fine
for only email but also for groupware like situations.  The same can't
be said for thunderbird.  I find the mail-parts of evolution to be
nicer to work with than thunderbird (but you are free to have another
opinion)

It's a logical choise to use evolution and I'm very happy for it. 
Also, it integrated with the gnome desktop in wounderful ways.

But hey, thunderbird is there, use it if you prefer it.

Regards,
Erik
