Evolution
Evolution provides
integrated mail, addressbook and calendaring functionality to users of
the GNOME
desktop. Its user interface and feature set are similar to
Microsoft Outlook.
Evolution makes the tasks of storing, organizing, and
retrieving your personal information easy, so you can work and
communicate more effectively with others.
It’s a highly developed groupware program, considered by many
to be an integral part of the
Internet-connected desktop.
