The reason it's billed for users of GNOME is because it is specifically a GNOME project. When not in that environment, it will still work and it functions fine, but looks-wise there may be (for lack of a better definition) some "funky" problems. Some icons may not look right, some menus may look "off", etc. because the app is not in its intended desktop environment. But it will still work. You can run Evolution in KDE if you want.

" Does this mean only for Linux distributions using GNOME?

Does this mean only for Linux distributions using GNOME?

I have had great frustration trying to set up BOTH gmail and my ISP e-mails with Thunderbird. One thing I heard here makes me think I need to clear things with my ISP -- again. I was not able to log in for some reason. Anyway, I have just been looking for a way to get POP access to my past e-mails and store them then delete them from the accounts -- other than copy and paste... Thanks for the ideas...I'll try this program out on Ubuntu if it doesn't work on Windows. A few questions: can I run this on Windows(XP, Vista…)?
