Re: pro's and con's of Evolution mail reader?
Well, I personally love evolution. It's a great program to manage mail
and appointments / tasks. While I was writing this email, I verified
with tops and it says evolution (the main process) was using 0.4% of my
1.133Mhz pIII CPU and 4.3% of my memory (total 384Mb, which is 16.5Mb).
It is definately more heavy than pine or other command line mail
readers, although I would think it is comparable to other GUI based
readers.
There are a lot of nifty features. You can use it to check multiple
accounts (IMAP, POP2, POP3, local and even read mail from a exchange 2k
server). You can setup various mail filters (incoming or outgoing) which
are layed out like an IF condition (if <list of conditions> THEN
<perform actions>). You can have SSL encryption for both incoming and
outgoing mail.
You have a calender on which you can set appointments with multiple
reminders. You also have a task list with due dates.
There is of course a contact manager. Which is pretty much like other
mail program's address book.
I've never encountered any fonts problems and I only have the default X
fonts installed, so I can't really testify on that.
I personally love it, it's powerful, convenience and easy to use.
