I had this on an earlier Evolution install as well (I run 7.3). Recently, I tried the stuff from www.usr-local-bin.org (with some packages from ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/projects/mozilla/1.0rc1/ and another place, which slips my mind right now). It seems to work fine, except that that build does not have SSL support and does not want to doe DIGEST-MD5 against my cyrus imapd, so I have to use plaintext authentication. -Marcel
