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

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

[mishranurag]

I don like either. I like Kontact better than both.

I used Thunderbird because is so simple and I only need a simple email-program.

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...
