My wife has used Evolution for several years with very few problems
however, recently, she has reported a rather unusual fault and I am
supposed to put it right. Sometimes, a message which is listed will not
show the body of that message, who it's to and who it's from are there
but no message.
My PC is dual booted with Xubuntu 14.04.1 LTS and Windows 7 and the
graphics is derived from the MB. I would like to trial some software in
Windows which requires a GDU addition to the computer and I would
welcome some advice on what might be suitable without causing problems
with Xubuntu. Beca
