Andre,

I've made a number of suggestions to various developers over the years not to try to invent things but to bluntly replicate Outlook and ONLY THEN attempt to improve.
Noone listens...
We're not talking about the majority here - majority couldn't care more about this. But at the same time the amount of people interested is not something to sneeze at from the sales point of view.
Anyway, i digress, i can provide a detailed list of what is in Outlook that is not in Evolution but it's easy enough to do yourself. In fact, www.go-evolution.org has a number of comments opposing Evolution to Outlook
.
Bottom line is that no other app does it better than Outlook today and I am deeply hurt by it.
Bottom line #2 is that it's not difficult for developers to replicate the functionality(see my first attached image of "customize view" window), but noone feels the need to do it.

Hence, to achieve the level of functionality i want i HAVE TO use Windows Outlook and Windows Mobile Pocket Informant.

At the same time I am actively looking for alternatives and Maemo or Moblin are starting to look interesting.
