That's very different from my experience. 

I have evolution here as my mail client, connecting to several different
IMAP services and syncing contact and calendar data with Google. It does
"just work" for me and is very stable. It's not crashed on me in years.

I'm running Evolution 2.28.1 on Ubuntu 9.10. It's running on fairly crap
hardware too.

I would still not suggest it as a workable replacement for Outlook in a
MS based environment though.
