My review:
No you're not, it's awful unless you're under the thrall of Windows because of Exchange.
If you don't (1)have to use it because of such groupware requirements, or (2)need the HTMLificated ambience of Outlook Express, I wouldn't bother.
I would have said Thunderbird until version 1.7.1+ of kmail, when kmail finally "got there". It's now my favourite gui mail client, mostly because it's so featureful.
Meh, evolution has IMAP support that fucks up less often than Thunderbirds, in my experience. It's by far my favourite GUI mail client... but given that I don't play with GUI mail clients very often any more (they all get the hell in the way of actually doing anything useful, like, erm, reading and composing e-mail), YMMV.
Personally, I'd recommend mutt to everyone, it's by far the most useful mail client that I've ever used, gets in the way very little, and it has nice configuration fun ;)
Of course, I'm very odd, and I use lots of terminally things, vim is the *only* editor I use for doing anything sane these days (including editing e-mails), it has lots of nice shiny tweakables, and it works quickly and stays out of the way (as long as you can get your head round modes).
Anyways - back to the origional topic, the only thing that pissed me off about evolution was that it didn't have an option for defaulting to the text/plain part of e-mails, which was annoying. I believe that's now fixed, though.
