[Novalug] Email update: Switched to Evolution from pine.

[Joel Fouse]

I'm a big fan of IMAP as well, particularly for ${work} email, as I can
use Evolution (usually) or T-bird or whatever else I feel like playing
with or trying out, but if I'm on the road I can use that blasted
outlook web interface if need be to both check for new and reference old
emails.  And for personal, my wife and I both have "personal" accounts
but also a couple that we share, and we both use IMAP to get to them so
we both can see what comes in (and likewise, I can use SquirrelMail or
some such if need be).
