boxes like I have. It is by far the most unstable of my Fedora Core 5
applications -- it quits unexpectedly or stops responding at least once
an email session, and often several times. The address book is too
difficult to use -- for instance it won't autocomplete email addresses,
and often an address you thought you added to the address book is lost
in the bit bucket. I notice it takes way too long to download email --
longer than Mozilla Mail, Thunderbird, Outlook or Outlook Express.
I guess I'll try Thunderbird 1.5.0.5 for a couple of weeks and see if it
is any improvement. I tried it in the early, pre-1.0 versions and after
several weeks it arbitrarily munched all my folders, leaving about half
the contents of each one "invisible". I hope this version is an
improvement.

That is interesting since I have none of those problems using evolution
on an x86_32 machine. I find it a very usable email client.
