[edit] Evolution on Windows *is* developed by tml (and some others)
Hello,
After looking on tml's blog, I found this article:
http://tml-blog.blogspot.com/2005/09/gnome-libraries-for-win32.html
containing a link to this wiki page:
http://www.go-evolution.org/Building_Evolution_on_Windows
[edit] vFolders
Evolution definitely had this functionality well ahead of Outlook, though Outlook 2003 has incorporated a similar feature called "Search Folders".
On the other hand, Search Folders (as they are most commonly referred to including in the current version of evolution) are now widespread, so this is no longer a distignuishing feature as the article maintains. However, w.r.t. Outlook Search Folders are supported only on Exchange servers, whereas Evolution will run them on any folder.
[edit] Not Scheme
Unless something has changed since I left Novell (in the last 3 years ago) - evolution's filters are NOT scheme. They are a relatively limited s-expression, 'scheme-like' mechanism, but saying it uses the Scheme language is not correct. The reference is also incorrect, and looks like it got 'upgraded' by an over-zealous technical writer at some point.

[edit] Current Status?
Does anyone know the current status of the Evolution on Windows project? The Sourceforge mailing list has been dead for quite some time. Tor Lilliquist is apparently no longer working on the project, and I haven't seen anything from MarkyBob lately either. The current binary has several large issues that prevent many people from using it.--216.110.203.160 17:18, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
