Evolutions Exchange plug-in is driving me mad. Fedora needs a decent

It *shouldn't* be.

There are a number of other calendaring applications available in Fedora Core
and Extras already. I personally use KDE and the KOrganizer application
(from the kdepim package). It has all of the features of Sunbird, plus
several more, and it has fewer bugs.
If you really want to see Sunbird become available, you're welcome to try
packaging it and submitting it to Extras, but with the early stage it is
currently in, and with its slow development so far, it will likely otherwise
be a long time before you'll see it in Fedora. Note that the current CVS
version does /not/ build correctly on Fedora Core.

Note also that the current preferred direction of Mozilla is using the
Lightning extension to Thunderbird, rather than the standalone Sunbird
application.
