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.
