Comment 85 for bug 207723

In the meanwhile Ubuntu has ditched Evolution in favor of Thunderbird as default email client.
This bugreport is a farce and I personally gave up on it a couple years ago.

I think it would be more honest if bugs that are as old like this would just be closed as "won't fix" and let die.
Much better than keeping everyone's hope up for years, because clearly no one is going to fix this.
