[KLUG Members] Ximian Evolution 1.2

[Doc Rea]

I'll second this.

No sooner had I installed it and I lost connectivity with the three
servers I check e-mail on through Evolution.I do re-connect from time to
time (like now).

I must admit, I was really surprised this happened. Evolution has been
rock-solid for me in the past.
