Karl, please cut down on the rudeness or might start commenting your

Who is Mike? Whom are you talking to?

Nobody prevents you from either simply using Thunderbird instead of
Evolution, or uninstalling evolution, as explained at least three times
in this thread. I get the feeling the mails must have been lost or
something, so here is one link to the solution in the archive:

What do the RedHat package designers have to do with anything???

Still looking like the previous emails have been lost. I hope so. Please
read above link, you can uninstall Evo (and install Thunderbird, of
course). 

I believe Ubuntu has a policy of "one application per task in the
default install", which is a very sensible choice and, if you read the
reviews, one of the things people like most about Ubuntu. I don't think
burdening the users with such a question is not a good idea. Users can
simply uninstall/install what they need from menu Applications >
Add/Remove (a solution that should have been mentioned earlier in the
thread)
