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

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.
