Evolution vs. Thunderbird

[David McNally]

Hi everyone.

After being without Internet access for a week, I've decided I don't want to
use webmail any longer. However, I don't want to change my email address, so
I want to keep my Gmail, but use Evolution or Thunderbird to have it on my
computer. During this internet-free week, I found myself constantly needing
to go back and find old emails from the past few weeks that I would have had
if I had set up Evolution or Thunderbird.

So, which one do you folks think is better, and why?

Just in case this helps, I need it to support Gmail easily. I have a 64-bit
Ubuntu 9.04 machine. I don't have Thunderbird installed, but it would be no
problem to install it. I need something that's _easy_ for me to use. I'm
still a bit of a noob, but I'm a serious noob in this area. I've never
really used programs like Outlook or Evolution or Thunderbird, so it has to
be simple to navigate and to get it to do what I want it to do, even if I
need to sacrifice features for that.

Thanks in advance,
David
