Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution-exchange

i have spent 6 hours trying to persuade evolution to read steve gibsons newsgroups news.grc.com.
evolution insists on my pgp pass phrase which it cannot recognize.
i am now using thunderbird which works great.

now i have trouble uninstalling evolution and may have corrupted my new beautiful ubuntu 8.10

why do you not supply thunderbird as standard instead of evolution as you do supply firefox.

i know that your time is free and so i thank you for your efforts
but evolution is now so big and full of bugs why do you not just abandon it?

best wishes
john

Hello Pedro,

Thank you for your kind email.
It is not an issue for me at the moment.
I have mastered Evolution but prefer to use Thunderbird.

My issue at the moment is the Zylex Wifi card which is not supported.
Ubuntu 8 and 9 both grind to a halt.
So I have purchased 20 meters of lan cable and removed my Wifi card.
Ubuntu works now.
Now I have a problem that I cannot shut 2 of the doors in my condo.
Everybody has this problem.
The solution is to use Ndiswrapper? and the Widows XP driver but I have
not tried it yet.

Once again thank you for your attention to me.

Best wishes
John Black

PS I love Ubuntu.
