Congratulations on your fine post. Thanks. I find this info useful. I am working as a entrepreneur, I use Outlook as my e-mail client and with the help of Email Sorter Wizard, an Outlook add-on, I get all my e-mail filed.

@Joe: which feature? Have you idea when evo 2.24.3 will come out? I wish to downgrade it to 2.22, but I think with Fedora there is huge work to do, and I prefer to wait…and hope…

I have been very disappointed with Evo 2.24. It is a major suck. I have since downgraded to 2.22 which works fine. The major issues are supposed to get fixed in 2.24.3 so I might give that a try when it comes out. But I am of the opinion that they should have never released 2.24 in the POS state that it is.

@Vesuri: Unfortunately I have no choise to change email client. Evolution is the only one that has the features I need.

But yes…the answer to the article subject is yes, evolution 2.24 is an epic fail.

I’m having numerous issues with 2.24 as well. I’ve seen the issues described here and then some. It truly is a catastrophical failure.

There should never be a reason to export and import anything. Actually that doesn’t even fix anything, since Evolution just makes an archive of the files when exporting. Since it has not been able to upgrade them properly in the first place it doesn’t help at all.

@Benoit: I’m using Evolution since Fedora 8, and I never had problems. It also permit to manage easily several imap folders using virtual folders….

Evolution is so buggy for years now.

I know nobody around me who use evolution to manage their e-mails, for the same reason : too many nasty bugs

I really suggest you to switch to Thunderbird.
