[ale] Ximian Evolution (was: Re: [ale] Stupid M$ windows crappysoftware %#$^*()

[Jeff Hubbs]

Oh, by the way, one nag regarding Evolution:  it often errors out at
Send/Receive time with "Error while fetching Mail:  Server unexpectedly
disconnected:  Input/output error."  This is when talking to AT&T
Broadband's servers.  If I try again, it'll eventually work fine with no
ill effects that I've seen, but it is an irritant.  Does this happen to
anyone else here?
