Going back to Evolution? No but...

The 2007-08-23 at 20:59 by Loïc d'Anterroches filed under News.

You most likely know Thunderbird the email client of the Mozilla Foundation. This is the client I am using at the moment to manage my emails and I must admit, it is a very nice piece of software with the ability to easily extend it with the extension mechanism, but I have a fundamental problem with it: it is not integrated with the Gnome desktop.

Basically Thunderbird is running independently of all the other software on my system. For example it is not easy to get all my contact information in and out of it. I cannot easily create a link to a given email. It is really sad because Evolution, the official Gnome email client, is really slow. So now I am working an half way system, which is basically to store my contact information within EDS using either Evolution or Contacts and Thunderbird to manage my emails. With this approach I can easily export/import my contact information as it is possible to access EDS with Python.
