I think I pointed out somewhere else that it's the _mail_ component that Evo 
handles.  I don't let anybody force me to use an exchange calendar.  I 
haven't had any issues at all with getting mail from it.  I was using a 
Windows box _solely_ to read the client's email, so tossed it for evolution 
- even though I think evolution is barely more usable than Outlook.
