50star.png*    Excellent Interface*    <del>Excellent Interface</del>*    The best email software available for *NIX platform== Review ==[[Image:35star.png]]Linux Version.  Updated for Evolution 3.18.5.2, 2008 - 2014 The Evolution Team aka Redhat?When first created, this page was about Ximian Evolution.  Since then Evolution has went though some owners, seen improvements, and also suffered from new bugs, a lack of support community, and design deficiency cancer that is plaguing Linux distributions across the board since 2010 and onward.Evolution is part of GNOME development.  Ximian Evolution became Novell Evolution in 2003.  GNOME was another holding of Novell.  Novell acquired Evolution in May 2004 and the most positive change made was licensing changes.  Novell made all plugin components of Evolution free.  In 2011 a company called The Attachmate Group acquired Evolution from Novell.  It transferred Novell's former Evolution developers to its subsidiary SUSE. In 2012 SUSE decided to stop its funding of Evolution's development.  Evolution development then went to Redhat and became more active in 2013 as the story goes.  At what point Evolution began going south and went from a 5-star software to 3.5 out of 5 is not clear, but as of 2018 Evolution maintains the lower rating.  In the absence of alternatives for Outlook / Exchange Server like functionality, and Exchange Server integration, Evolution is still being recommended.  It it is just that using Evolution in 2018 requires a great deal of anger management as opposed to previous years.
