I'm confused: what Evolution "shareware"? I've been using Gnome for years and this is the first I've heard of it. A quick Google reveals nothing either. Can you point me to a website showing the bits of Evolution that have to be paid for?

I suppose that he/she's speaking of Evolution Exchange. Apparently nobody told our not-so-friendly neighborhood FUD-spreader that it is GPL and free (as in free beer) since 2004. And it was a plugin, which added a functionality to an already feature-complete software, so I really can't understand from where he/she got out the "frontend to a commercial product" crap.

Totally agree that there is no commercial aspect to Evolution.

I'm a KDE user, and even I use Evolution. Definitely the best email client available for Linux.
