Evolution is still beta software, so the bug tracking is best
left to the bugzilla system and to the programmers. However,
there are a number of limitations that will not be addressed
before version 1.0. The most notable are: Import of Microsoft
Outlook .pst files, and compatibility with the Microsoft
Exchange protocol.
A number of popular features will not make it into Ximian
Evolution 1.0, but we plan to include them for version 1.1.
Some of them are:

<member>Direct import of Microsoft Outlook contact cards</member>
<member>Synchronization of email with handheld devices</member>
<member>S/MIME support</member>
<member>Read foreign mail folders without importing them</member>

<member>A "You have new mail" popup or other indicator</member>

Evolution is available online in the Ximian bug tracking system.
