Ximian Evolution Version 1.2 offers a host of enhancements designed to improve the usability, performance and interoperability of the premier personal and workgroup information management solution for Linux and UNIX-based systems. Version 1.2 of the award-winning Ximian Evolution software upgrades its integrated email, calendar, contact and task list management functions to provide a more powerful and customizable solution for end users and companies using Linux or UNIX workstations.
Further enhancements in version 1.2 include:

* Built-in HTML email signature editor, with support for choosing from multiple signatures.

* One-stop configuration center to manage settings and preferences for everything from the mail composer, fonts, and address books directories to account setup, default folders and calendar options.

* Expanded time-saving keyboard navigation and shortcuts.

* Enhanced auto-completion for addressing emails, including improved performance and support for multiple address books.

* Customizable color email labels, fonts and follow-up flags for email messages.

* Improved support for corporate LDAP directories.

Ximian Evolution 1.2 also works with the optional Ximian Connector 1.2 for Microsoft Exchange add-on software, (see related release: "New Version 1.2 of Ximian Connector For Microsoft Exchange 2000 Enhances Collaboration for Corporate Linux and UNIX Users") which enables Linux and UNIX users of Ximian Evolution to function as Microsoft Exchange 2000 clients. With Ximian Connector installed, Ximian Evolution users can connect directly to Microsoft Exchange 2000 servers for group calendaring, access to shared address books, task and contact management, centralized mail storage and access to public folders.

I have kept up with each release of Evolution and rarely find any notable new features.... this release included.
