The Next Generation of Mail ClientsThe Next Generation of Mail ClientsPosted Feb 26, 2004 7:25 UTC (Thu) by stephenjudd (subscriber, #3227)Parent article: The Next Generation of Mail Clients Why do you say Evolution does not import? I am looking at the import dialogue right now, and it supports both mbox files (which most clients can export) and Oulook Express mbx files. I fear your unstable version must have been broken. Evolution 1.4.5 certainly can import. (And stores in your choice of mbox, mh or maildir).

Evolution mail import Posted Feb 26, 2004 8:10 UTC (Thu) by kreide (subscriber, #4708) [Link] Thank you for the comment; I only considered the 1.5 version in my review, and I'm sure the stable 1.6 version will have better mail import. I will add this to my notes section.
Evolution mail import Posted Feb 26, 2004 13:39 UTC (Thu) by louie (subscriber, #3285) [Link] 1.5 does import as well; I just used it last night :) It also has limited emoticon support, but you have to turn it on in the prefs. Otherwise a generally nice review. One other thing you may want to consider is that evolution supports MS Exchange (via a proprietary plugin) and in the next release Novell's Groupwise server (code in gnome cvs.) Additionally, in 1.5/1.6, evolution is becoming a desktop-wide calendaring and addressbook server, so that, for example, your panel calendar can view your appointments or gaim can use the same addressbook as evo. It's going to be very cool.
Groupware functionality Posted Feb 26, 2004 15:16 UTC (Thu) by kreide (subscriber, #4708) [Link] Since I was reviewing the mail client functionality in this review, I did not put a great emphasis on groupware functionality. However, I should mention that KOrganizer also supports viewing your appointments, and todo-items, in its different calendar views (day, week, month etc.). Kopete (KDE IM client) also already uses the address book in KDE and KWallet for managing passwords.
