Serious Evolution Problem

[ruscook]

I missed what mail protocol you're using. I use IMAP and have both
Evolution and Thunderbird configured to read the same IMAP accounts.
This way when one of them screws up, which they do now and then, I can
open my account in the other. This is important to me.  I like the
integrated calendar with Evolution and it is fast to read mail. It is
slow in it's rules and doesn't have the  "remove duplicate" messages
that Thunderbird has. 

This gives me flexibility.  I don't know if this is useful for your
situation
