[rgp-02]

how about these email clients, such as evolution, thunderbird etc. is anyone actually able to use these?
or are they just some more defective garbage?

Yes, each of them (and many more) are used by thousands of people all over the world every day... please stop trolling.

What's so "defective" about them?

I use Thunderbird and love it! I use Thunderbird in both Windows (at work) and Ubuntu (at home).

We mean deliberately attacking the software people use in order to provoke a reaction... instead of asking an open-ended question that could get a variety of quality responses, or asking a specific question that will help you fix whatever problems you're experiencing with Evolution and Thunderbird or find an email client that works for you.

I've used Thunderbird for years. I can't use Evolution with Gmail because it lacks couple of options that need to be set (at least I couldn't find them). They are both OK e-mail clients, Evolution is alot like Outlook that many people use daily (including me at work) and Thunderbird is a great lightweight client with multiprotocol support. I have switched to using just the Gmail web interface though because it makes it easier accessing my e-mail from multiple machines. Also with Gmail checker programs it's very easy to stay on top of your messages.
