Perhaps as in my case other gave up using Evolution.

For me I had a decision which Email Reader the company (small) was going
to use. I had to base the decision on the following.
1. Reliability
2. Usability
3. Continual Development and support.
4. A sound confidence in that there are so many Evolution bugs that have
been outstanding for a very long time 12 months +
and I had no confidence that future bugs would be fixed in a timely manner.
5. Development vision - I feat that there was NO and NO evidence of a
development vision.
6. Inexcusable lack of Q.A

I must stress these were personal decisions and I use Thunderbird with
delight everywhere.

Has anyone else left Evolution????????
