Re: Advice needed
I can tell you for a fact that since I tried Ximian, I've had nothing
but trouble with version issues and package mismatches. Getting rid of
it is quite challenging too.
Evolution on the other hand, is quite useable. I've used it now for
about 3 months for both work and personal email and have had only a few
problems.
So, I'll back Bruce by saying - skip Ximian.
