Can I make links to email addresses open Gmail instead of Evolution?

When I click on a link to an email address in Firefox or Google Chrome a "Welcome to Evolution" screen appears. Can I make Gmail open instead, or at the very least disable Evolution from running?

Exchange with Evolution or any other mail client

I see other questions about this, no answers and no one with a completely similar question.

I work for a place with an Exchange 2007 server. There is an http://owa.ourserver.com that is accessible from anywhere. I've tried every combo I can think of for Evolution -> Microsoft Exchange, including the MAPI plugin, but then I read that, that doesn't work on OWA Exchange email servers and I can't get it to connect at all that way.

If there is no way to connect via Evolution, is there another mail client? I tried Thunderbird, but I couldn't get it to work with Exchange either...

View threads/conversations in Evolution just like Gmail can

I want to view threaded email conversations in Evolution. Is there a menu option for this? By threaded conversations I mean something like what Google's GMail does.

Which email client works best with GMail IMAP?

I use GMail (and I use labels intensively) and because of having to use a very slow Internet connection now I've came to the idea that I should try using a desktop email client.

What application (Thunderbird, Evolution, Claws, or some another) works best with GMail via IMAP?

First of all I want correct GMail labels support (for example an email client shouldn't think of GMail labels as of independent folders, treating messages with multiple labels as multiple different identical messages in different folders), incl. special GMail labels-folders like bin, spam, drafts and sent.

thanks for any help.

Why did Thunderbird replace Evolution in 11.10?

According to this, The default email client for Ubuntu 11.10 will be Thunderbird instead of Evolution. I've used Evolution since Ubuntu 9.10; I've always used the default applications because I thought they were recommended.

Why is Thunderbird the new default email client instead of Evolution?

How can I remove "Set Up Mail" and other entries from the message indicator?

Is there any other way of removing the "Set Up Mail" and other entries from the message indicator short of uninstalling Evolution? I prefer to use GMail directly through the browser. It's beginning to annoy me since I keep on clicking it by accident then that window pops out.

How can I see large thumbnails of the files I want to attach to an e-mail?

When I want to attach a file (an image) with Evolution, it's very hard to pick the good file because thumbnails are way to small.

How can I make them bigger?

Sync Google Calendar Tasks with Evolution

I am running Ubuntu 12.04 and prefer Evolution to Thunderbird as my mail manager and organiser. I run a gmail account and use the calendar a lot to organise future meetings,appointments and tasks.I have synced the calendar, contacts and meetings, but cannot get tasks to sync. Does anyone know how to do that?

Can I directly dial phone numbers from Evolution's address book?

Is there a way to directly dial phone numbers from Evolution's address book? I have an ISDN phone on my desk connected via USB. I've written a shell script that uses a phone number on the command line and then dials this number. The missing step is the integration into Evolution's address book.

Previously I've used Thunderbird where there is a click-to-dial extension. The address book shows the phone numbers as links and a script is executed when you click on one.

Does something like this exist for Evolution or something like it?

How to get GNOME Shell Calendar to sync with Google Calendar with Thunderbird installed?

On GNOME Shell, I want to use the Calendar and have it synced with my Google Calendar account, but I have Thunderbird on my computer. I have seen a couple of posts making Thunderbird default through the means of the terminal, but those changes did not effect the calendar on the desktop panel. I have used Evolution in the past, and i never really liked it, but will conform to it if necessary for the ease of having Google Calendar sync.

Thunderbird or Evolution? [closed]

Before I upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 (I formatted my harddisk and installed it), I used thunderbird.

Now I wanted to test out evolution. I think it's pretty good, because there are integrated notifications and encryption methods. Another thing is that there's a calendar integrated in evolution, but I can also install a calendar addon for thunderbird.

What do you think about it? Can you tell me the pros and cons of thunderbird and evolution? I don't know which program I should use.

I never used evolution before 10.10, I always installed thunderbird.

Should I move to evolution, or stay with thunderbird? I like both of them, I just need some pros and cons.

If you think both email programs are bad, tell me a better one.
