Comment 6 for bug 667662

Yup, I quite agree. The fact that this continues to be on the "too hard" list may be one of the reasons that Thunderbird is apparently the default email client Ubuntu 11.10.
The nuisance part of that is that all my calendar, contacts, and so on and so forth would need migrating if I opted to go the Thunderbird way. Let alone what happens to syncing contacts via Ubuntu One.
Given my 'druthers, I'druther stay with Evolution, so I guess I'll still be saving pictures the hard way, or by forwarding them to my webmail. Either way is not really 21st Century.
