It would very helpful if the email subjects in evolution can be renamed. This helps to find an email again. This is already possible with thunderbird and outlook. For my wife it is a crucial feature and she is hesitant to switch from outlook to evolution because of that.

In other emailing programs you have the possibility to delete an attachment in order to minimize folder size and being able to keep the actual email (with text).

I have several email accounts and so several evolution mail account folders in the left panel. As they have many subfolders, I collapse the folder tree of the not often used mail folders.
When a new email is downloaded/synced to an evolution folder that is collapsed, there is no sign to find out which one mail folder received new email. The title of the subfolders (like Inbox) would turn bold, so you know that there is a unread or new mail, but not with the account folder.

Whenever you're on a website and you click on a link to an email adress (e.g. info@companyofyourchoice.com), the EVOLUTION SETUP ASSISTANT automatically opens. If you're like me and don't want to use it, you close that "evolution setup assistant" window, right-click the link, copy the adress to hotmail and then write the message. Perhaps the action performed when you click an email link could be different.

I have flagged some of my e-mail messages in Evolution for follow up and set a due by date. When the date passes, the message header turns red. However the message header is not in a place where I can see it on or after the due by date. I don't flag enough messages for me to look in the search folder 'Flagged for follow up' every day.

My proposal is for a pop up alert of anything flagged for follow up that has passed its due by date and has not been marked as complete or has not been deleted.

Sometimes it's nice to be attractively nagged and told how late you are.

I would like to have a input field for "To", "CC" and "BCC" that is intelligent. I don't use the addressbook that much, but I have to write a lot of mails to people, who once wrote me. In Thunderbird you just have to type in "Ge" and he proposes me "George Bush", "George Clooney" and "George Farmville". I only have to select one and don't have to remember his full address. And he appears in this list also when he himself wrote me one year ago.

I miss that function alot in Evolution.

This is about the email client Evolution. We are not interested in how many mails in total. We are only interested in how many *new* mails in total. Having the total number showing up in the windows title and the windows bar is very distracting.

Evolution is the standard mailing app in Ubuntu, but it happens, that the user clicks a second or third time on the evolution button, forgetting about that evolution is already open.

I often receive chain e-mails (normally from Windows-Users) which spreads my e-mail adress by CC&forward to people I don't know.

Every time I use the GMail-Webinterface from a different computer that doesn't have Evolution (like a public computer) to send an email it is downloaded to the "Inbox"-folder by Evolution on my home computer if I am using POP3.

This might also apply to other Web-Services.
