- 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:
+
+ Direct import of Microsoft Outlook contact cards
+ Synchronization of email with handheld devices
+ S/MIME support
+ Read foreign mail folders without importing them
+ Import of WINMAIL.DAT attachments
+ A "You have new mail" popup or other indicator

+ A more complete list of feature requests and other issues with
+ Evolution is available online in the Ximian bug tracking system.
