Sorry, I've just come form a beer festival, but, Bollocks!
Firstly, evolution is a great email client, it's my favorite by far, and I've used a few.
This is my job in a large Russell group University, so hopefully I know what I'm on about.
The issue is probably more about colaborative working and client compatibiliy. Within my environment, one of the key drivers for a groupware solution is cross-platform compatibilty, it's got to work with Windows, Mac and Gnu/Linux (any distro) or it's just not good enough. Web access is fine if it delivers the features however.
This is a matter of perspective, and if people don't belive that a Gnu/Linux desktop does the job, then that's what they'll believe. However, if your look at it from the other side, then you start to see it as a failing of the mail/collaboration suite vendors, and not that of GNU/Linux.
