Evolution or Thunderbird?

[pochu]

I don't use Evolution, and if I try to do a

sudo aptitude remove evolution

I get this

Next packages will be REMOVED
evolution evolution-exchange evolution-plugins ubuntu-desktop

So I would like to see Thunderbird in Edgy

What do you prefer?

ubuntu-desktop is just a meta package, you can safely remove it.

and i prefer Thunderbird, as well. If Evolution finally got some love, it could really be a great app, though

Thunderbird wins hands down. I only need a email client and it suits my needs perfectly.

Please tell me what features you prefer in thunderbird that does not exist in evolution? I really enjoy using evolution, but I also believe mozilla-thunderbird is a nice app.

well, it's not any features i'm missing, it's just that evolution is slow, rather buggy and the spam blocker doesn't work as well.

my opinion...that is

its more like "please tell me what feature are there in evolution that i do not need"
i like to keep things as simple as possible... and i just need an email client.

Yes, I agree, but I think Thunderbird should have a tray icon integrated, because the "Tray Icon" extension only works on Windows, and we have Ubuntu for something...

I'll tell you one right now: detaching of attachments or deleting of attachments.

Sometimes people will send me a huge image file or a PDF, and I don't want that cluttering up my inbox. I still want the message I was sent (maybe the accompanying text had some important information), but I want the attachment to be on my hard drive, not on my email account.

How do you delete an attachment in Evolution?
