<i>Evolution will look boring. They basicly just Redid Outlook for gnome. Shawns guys are doing something better than that</i>

Are you able to substantiate any of this, or is it just random spewage?

From having used both, I think Evolution is looking like the better application.

Also, it's not very nice to diss someone's project with no proof. From the looks Infusion does almost as much as Aethera, and certainly looks better, so I would put Aethera and Infusion in exactly the same league.

Hype is great and all, but in the end of the day, you need to look at what it actually can do, rather than what the (marketeers|coders) hype it up to do.

Substantiate? Why? Just use evolution its just a redone outlook. Its so obvious theres no need to substantiate anything.

Your right at this piont evolution is better but it won't be.

Well i guess one mans trash is another mans treasure. Not to say infusion looks like trash but aethera looks professional and infusion looks like a hobbist program.

    I wasn't actually talking about that claim that Evolution is a redone Outlook. I would agree with that claim.

    There is, however, the need to substantiate the claims "Shawn's guys are doing something better than that" and "...but it won't be".

    In what ways is Aethera going to be different from Outlook and Evolution and Infusion? At the moment, it's looking like a fairly poor clone of them. Please back up your claims.
