On my Suse 10.1 install, I eventually gave up on Evolution.  I thought
I wanted vCard support, but it was not all that stable.  I went back
to Thunderbird and mutt and haven't gone back.  Maybe Evolution is
more stable under Ubuntu.  Perhaps the preference for Tbird is because
I also moved from primarily Windows to primarily Linux and had used
Tbird & Mozilla for my offline mail reading for years.
