I know, I was part of that discussion :)

Well yes, people expect it to be there because it's hard to switch
email clients. It's certainly not a trivial undertaking, and it would
be a major problem in any conceivable corporate environment.
I'd go as far as to say it's simply a showstopper for desktop OS.

Now thing is that Evo in FC6 is orders of magnitude worse than in FC5!
I mean, the bugs that were listed in the discussion you pointed at
seem trivial in comparison. Right now it's not a matter that it's
slow, or can't be used over slow links. No. Now it simply hangs while
sending (or sometimes receiving mail), and the only viable option
for a regular user is to restart X or reboot!

What good is an email client that can't send mail?!?
