Re:Outlook does not suck.

On: Preview Helix Code's "Evolution"

I'm not sure of whom Lemmy's speaking when he says "If you are just a programmer," but to quote from Miguel de Icaza's April Slashdot interview:

"...for example, I receive about 2500 mails a day. Even with procmail and Gnus, filters, scoring and lots of complex scripts, I still spend about four hours a day on e-mail related tasks..."

So, think of a high-profile open-source developer's needs as a typical business-user's needs writ large. Miguel being a smart guy, I imagine the release version of Evolution will suck considerably less than Outlook, if only to meet its developers' own needs.
