  1. What's the big excitement? by milgr · · Score: 5, Informative

    This is a development release. According to evolution's planned milestones, the stable 1.6 release will be out in March.

    Like the kernel, the odd dot releases are development.

    That said, I choose to use evolution 1.4 for most of my email needs.

  2. This is a testing release by irix · · Score: 5, Informative

    This is one of the Evolution testing releases that go along with Gnome 2.5. The goal is a stable Evolution 2.0 and Gnome 2.6 later in the spring. Check out he roadmap.

    So by all means, pick up 1.5 if you want to help with bug fixing, but this is not a "stable" release.

    So is Evolution 1.5 a development release? Are they following the same numbering scheme as the Linux kernel?

    Yes and yes.

    If you don't want to be testing 1.5 then you should be waiting for a stable 2.0. Of course, if you can, testing 1.5 is a good thing.

    Email their support and they'll send you a 30 day trial key.

    I personally use it to connect to our Exchange 2003 server and it works quite well. Your company's Exchange server will need OWA support enabled however.

  6. Re:Built-in spam filtering? by FattMattP · · Score: 4, Informative
    Run Spamassassin as a daemon (ie spamd) for speed and use Evolution's builtin filtering tool to define a pipe to shell command filter (ie spamc -c) with the rule being if does not return 0, either move to your spam folder or just delete it. Make sure bayesian filtering is enabled in spamassassin, do some training via sa-learn, add you will have great spam filtering with very low overhead.
    They need something intergrated into the application so that they can click a "spam" or "not spam" button and/or change spam settings from within Evolution. See Mozilla Mail to see what I am talking about. Your solution still requires interacting with the shell (something these users don't know how to do) to change settings or train the bayesian filter. Right now I already have spamassassin checking mail on the server side.
