I always used Thunderbird, and have put that on everyone's PC when I installed Ubuntu for them. For my part, I wanted to spend long enough using Evolution to get a good feel for it. There are one or two things I don't like, and a lot of things I do like, so for now I'll stick with it. I really want to try to stick with the standard out-of-the-box Ubuntu releases for now while I'm on the Ubuntu Advertising team. Thanks for your comments. You're very probably right! As for Gmail, I like to have my stuff stored locally so I can access e-mails when I don't have internet access. iMap on both NetBook and Desktop suits me well as it syncs both computers nicely.
