I use Evolution under Linux at work -- I don't know where you're getting 1+ minute startup times, but mine takes about, oh, 15 seconds, and I have A LOT of mail. I upgraded to a P4 1.8ghz, but my old P3/733 ran it at almost exactly the same speed.

My big gripe with Evolution is that the key management for SSL totally sucks -- it keeps forgetting my mail server's SSL cert, and when I tell it "go ahead and accept", it then forgets the password on the account, so I constantly have to go in and reset the (random) passwords I use. That is REALLY annoying.

But the mail client is good enough that I've tried to give Ximian some money, only to be told that they don't have a program for donations. They suggested I buy some t-shirts, but I don't WANT the bloody T-shirts, and I don't WANT the bloody Red Carpet thing, I just want to give them $25 or $30 for the mail client I use. No way to do that.

Argh.

anyone bought it because they thought it had something to do with Malcom X? The box looks a lot like those baseball caps that were so 'hip' a few years ago.

I was just over by the Apple store in Palo Alto and it looked like a normal Saturday night. Gorgeous weather, incidentally.
