Hi Rocky
I can't quite believe that mine seems to be the first & only reply! If you might pls indulge me:
1. Are you still using Evolution?
2. Is it still doing everything you need a PIM to do, & doing it properly & reliably?
3. What version are you using; 3.18.5.2 ex the repo, or a newer version [& if the latter, did you download the source then build it yourself, or use a PPA as per https://forums.mauilinux.org/showthread....7#pid41057 ]?
4. How did you get all your data into it, & was the process acceptable or a nightmare?
I last mucked about with Evo in 2013/2014, & found the experience quite scarring. Right from the start it was unpleasant -- the import process was awful & created a ghastly mess of duplicated Calendar items, ALL Tasks lost all record of completion dates & status, so squillions of closed Tasks were then abruptly Overdue, & my thousands of historic emails, carefully stored in a detailed multi-level folder/subfolder hierarchical structure, landed in Evo all together in a single top-level folder. This was horrible [was coming from Outlook 2010, albeit this time (IF i risk it) would be coming from Thunderbird+Lightning]. Moreover, when simply trying to use Evo as a daily tool, it kept using 100% cpu & often crashing Mint 17.x KDE4 [as i used back then].
Presumably none of those horrors afflict your experience? I do not need any MS Exchange interaction, so that's at least one degree of less complication for me compared to you i think.
Finally a more general question for you & any other reader -- is it considered "ok" or otherwise "very unwise & should not do" to install a very large complex Gnome package into a Plasma5 distro? Thanks.
