I haven't personally used Evolution for any considerable time since the 
first time that I used it with Ximian. What features it has were more 
like an improvement of Outlook Express (also I tested this out when it 
was beta)

Thunderbird has the multithreading feature that I like. It has a more 
appealing feature list and seems to be a great mail program.

Mozilla is nice for me because it has mail, html editor and browser that 
are developed as sort of a suite of programs. With firefox and 
Thunderbird being seperated and no html editor for GNOME (that I know 
of), mozilla seems like the ideal default.
