[opensuse-gnome] Unique Features of Evolution
For those of you who use Evolution, I am giving a presentation on Evolution at GWAVAcon in a couple of weeks. I'm curious, what unique features do you like about Evolution? -- Bryen Yunashko openSUSE Board Member -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org

I don't know if they're unique features, but off the top of my head, I really enjoy the advanced filtering capabilities (including "filter on mailing list"), the ability to automatically assign colors to email titles based on filters, the vFolders (I guess they're called "search folders" now?) based on the same filtering system and the good threading algorithm. -- Hans Petter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org
Hey SUSERocks, As the maintainer of Evolution, I would like to provide you some features I think are unique of Evolution, and are good to showcase Interms of the backends, though Evolution has so many backends for mail/contacts and calendar, some of the most unique and important things are * Connectivity to MS Exchange 2000 & 2003, * MAPI based Connectivity to Exchange 5.5, 2000, 2003 and 2007[though only 2007 is officially supported, but it can work for the old MS Exchange Servers seamlessly] [OpenSUSE 11.1 onwards] * Connectivity to MS Sharepoint servers[New in OpenSUSE 11.1] * Connectivity to Novell Groupwise * and many more If you are looking at hand-picked unique features, * Mail/Contact/Cal/Task/Memo integrated suite * Desktop integration into GNOME * Clock-applet calendar/task integration * Addressbook integration with Nautilus-send-to, OOo, Panel-Contact lookup applet, Pidgin, etc * Attachment Reminder * Message Templates aka Canned Replies * Lot-better-search, Current/All account search * Nicely cairo-rendered Calendar interface * PST Import/migration plugin [Out of box support to import PST files to Evolution on Linux] There are infinite things I have missed, since they may be in TB or in other apps in some form or other. Also I would run into not-enough-memory if I continue writing on more features. Feel free to ping me on specific details. If you need, I could provide you screenshots etc. Thanks :-) for your nice marketing on Evolution. -Srini. On Mon, 2009-01-12 at 16:35 -0600, Bryen wrote:
