You obviously are fortunate enough not to have an important enough role
in a Microsoft-enabled-lan company, medium size to big.

In fact, it would appear as if your email needs are quite satisfied with
gmail, which says a lot :)

If you *only* do email, sure... Evolution is a massive hog. Heck, even
the adorable mutt does a better job.

However, as you have meetings, and need to properly reply to
invitations, and such other things, even without connecting to the
exchange server as I don't (I got to have email forwarded to a more sane
server) you will need such kind of integrated features.

I tried Kontact and it seemed yet worse at the time, and integrates
badly on the "GNOME way" of the desktop.

Right now I have a series of links in mutt's mail folder in order to
access my emails from mutt for when an accident might happen (see how I
*don't* trust Evolution even though I use it?)...

If you are unfortunate to work on a Micrsoft-enabled-lan as I do, then
you'd appreciate it more.
