I've ran into a couple problems with Evolution where the application
segfaults when accessing 'Settings' from the menu. I have submitted several
bug reports with stack traces, and haven't seen any patches yet,
unfortunately.

I would also think that KDE/Gnome would come with something of one that
integrates with e-mail and such.

the way it stores emails. I use sylpheed-claws for email / news because I
love the way it stores all the messages as plain text files which you can
grep and cat. If Ximian dies you cant read your data on the command line.
