Decided to try my luck with evolution 1.1.2 this morning.
Downloaded the files from rpmfind.  It was a bitch to satisfy all the
deps.  But, well worth it.

evolution 1.0.8 is what I used to have.  And I thought that that one
rocked.  But this latest version is fantastic!!!  Many new features
added (mostly along the lines of configurability) and a lot of bugs
fixed.  All in all, I like it the best.  I tried Kmail but it seemed
limitted.  Kmail is to evolution what Outlook Express is to Outlook.

If you want the rpms, go to http://rpmfind.net and search for
evolution.  Then, try to install it with rpm but make sure you check for
dependancies.  When you get the list of deps you don't have (and, trust
me, there'll be a few) just print them and search rpmfind for them.  The
ones you'll want are the ones whose rpm filename have *.ximian.* in the
name.

Enjoy!!!
