I have been using Evolution for 6 months or so and the initial 1.0 release was 
a bit flaky, but I am now on 1.08 (amd before that 1.05) and I haven't had it 
crash in a few months or so now. And I use it for some fairly heavy-duty 
email adminning (ie shifting 5 or 6000 emails around from one IMAP folder to 
another) and it hasn't barfed it once.

If you are replying to an email in one IMAP account, it will choose the reply 
address appropriate for the account you are in. I can have work IMAP and 
personal IMAP both open and it will work appropriately.
But I don't know what happens if you have them all coming in on one account. 
Probably not.
