And, both are in active development are good enough for everyone to try it. Above all, its the power of F/OSS - "choice" - one is not bound to a particular product/software. If the question is about Evolution embracing Brutus/Openchange/implement support for MS Exchange Web Service protocol (the new interface that would replace the current webDAV interface), I would say it is too early to comment now and let them evolve - in terms of stability/performance/feature support/user base. ;-) Thanks, V.
