Ximian Evolution's New Clothes
Lispy writes "Looks like everyone's favorite graphical email client, Ximian Evolution, will get a new interface with the upcoming release. I found a posting on the Evolution hackers bulletin board which leads to some mocked-up screenshots (here: calendar, tasks, mail, contacts and one of the shrunken navbar). Although this is mostly eyecandy, this could be the right time to make yourself heard. What do you think about a maturing Evolution that goes its own way and leaves the Outlook-like interface behind?"
Now that is evolved.
It's OK, Slashdot has done a remarkable job of censoring anything that I have been trying to see.

If you're willing to go for one more word, you could actually sound intelligent. How about, "Mozilla doesn't have a calendar," instead? Also, since it's irrelevant (and impossible?) for Mozilla to have or be a machine in which cloth or paper is made smooth and glossy by being pressed through rollers, I fixed your misspelling of "calendar".
Anyone notice in the screen shot listed above most of the email is msn spam?
I just resolved today that I *am* going to get around to writing my own email client after the bloody thing stopped working...
Zawinski's Law: Every program attempts to expand until it can read mail. Those programs which cannot so expand are replaced by ones which can.

Although still in development and a bit buggy, it includes the basic functionality. I have been using it for a couple of months now.
;)
You were right about the buggy bit, it's only the 14th you know; you've been using it for two WEEKS not months...
... I guess
