Just a note to other readers. If you COMPLETELY UNINSTALL the packages suggested here, your gnome desktop will not load and you cannot run any programs and the only fix is a clean reinstall.<br><br>You must chose to remove, not completely remove.<br>

If you go to the package installer and search on evolution you get a list of many things. If you "completely uninstall" everything that is evolution* ubuntu will not boot correctly after you log in. After you enter your login information the desktop appears but no top and bottom bar. So evolution cannot be completely uninstalled from the package installer.<br>

You still need to read about the packages because many of the libraries that are used are Ubuntu libararies that evolution also makes use of. When you search in synaptic for Evolution, It will bring up every instance of a package with evolution in either the title, and the description. I don't have the time right now to give you a good example as I've got classes soon but do this: once Hardy is reinstalled, search for the main packages of evolution (evolution-common, evolution, evolution-data-server, and evolution-data-server-common) then remove them, (not everything that comes up in the search list). It's just the basic packages you want to get rid of, and if you care to, the profile it creates in your /home directory. Once you do that then yes Evolution won't start. The panels rely on some integration with evolution as you can click on the clock for example and see your schedule etc. and I think completely removing all mention of evolution causes panels to stop working. The GNOME team chose to INTEGRATE evolution, meaning it's part of the desktop experience. So yes, completely removing all aspects (scorched earthing it) will cause the panels and other odd problems. But leaving certain pieces in place shouldn't (I haven't tested this) cause evolution to boot if say you went to the CLI and typed "evolution".<br>

With that being done, install Thunderbird and have a happy :-)<br>
