<p dir="ltr">I've used evolution for a decade. It's had growing pains but always seems to recover in a release or so. I've used it with multiple accounts simultaneously including gmail, exchange, IMAP accounts all over. The calendar is touchy thanks to exchange using local time and not proper time and address lookups from huge corp wide address books are molasses in Siberia.<br>
But it works consistently well no matter how big the mail spool. It does local caching.</p>

<br>
We have been seriously considering the idea of a modern mail client that is fast, uses modern IMAP extensions, is not Java, and supports secure email inherently.<br>
<br>
Haven't yet had the time, of course. Would that somebody's buy the time. :)<br>
<br>
Anyway. I have yet to find anything that satisfies me and I have been looking for about a year or two. Web clients can be nice but I have a (perhaps snobby) preference for fast, native yet portable and structured code.<br>
<br>
Something where both OpenPGP and S/MIME are natively supported. Something that allows for a local cache, not a replica of the server side. Something where Sieve support is first-class. Something that has a sane and stable backend and is capable of having many different front ends. Something that is widely portable without reliance on a stacked hot mess of C++, XML, JavaScript and all sorts of what I think are utterly over engineered components in e.g. the Mozilla "application framework".<br>
<br>
Something that is only as complex as is necessary to do safe, secure, and practical mail, fast.<br>
<br>
Anyway, enough dreaming... Have to get back to work.<br>
