I'm very happy with Evolution as long as I'm not using the Exchange
plug-in; all of the mail servers I use are IMAP now.  Oh, there is one
issue that I've come across but I've never actually looked into it (only
happens on my work computer, so I haven't taken the time to do it).  On
one (out of two) IMAP accounts in Evo I have to run the mail filters
manually...
