What will be a replacement for evolution ? Meaning something with a good
address book, calendar and task management. Firebird, Sunbird aren't
GNOME applications which gives them a different look and feel. Sylpheed
only does mail, and isn't in core but in extra's. so what are the
alternatives ? 

Evolution might be technically broken, but it still is one of the more
useful GNOME applications. And yes even though i like evolution, it is a
slow memory hog that hangs a lot (i haven't seen any "this mail crashes
evolution" though).
