Evolution Mail For Windows

I've seen several requests for Evolution for Windows, but not many available builds, or updated builds of Evolution. Today, I stumbled across this link for building Evolution on Windows, and they also link to precompiled binaries + installer. I found this site directly through the official Gnome Office website, so I'm pretty sure it's a reliable site.

I havent tested the stability of their builds, but they are up to date with the latest Evolution release, and list decent instructions to build following releases if necessary.

Also, I do not have enough time to take this project on, but if another developer does, that would be great.

To keep with the request format:

App: Evolution Mail Client

License: Open Source

Description: An email, groupware, calendar and address book application

Links:
http://live.gnome.org/Evolution
http://www.go-evolution.org/Building_Evolution_on_Windows

Yeah

Me an alpha1 had a go at it one night (for a short period). It looks like it won't be that hard, but it's still a fair bit of work. And while I was stalking John, I stumbled upon this, which is true, but it doesn't mean we can't start now, it's a great piece of software.

Right, I knew that DIP

Right, I knew that DIP Consultants build wasn't quite up to par, I didnt have a chance to test this one, but I figured if it was listed on a page linked by the official GNOME Office site, it may be a bit better quality

DIP Consultants

If I recall, DIP Consultants is just where it's hosted. I believe the developer of Deluge has something to do with that site. Tor Lillqvist, who's mentioned on the page you linked above, is the main developer of the builds hosted as DIP Consultants.

I was gonna do it, but i

I was gonna do it, but i really don't have the time, if you want to do it, go aright ahead, but grab me on the IRC sometime and I'll fill you in on what Patrick and I figured out.

Lead, Follow, or get out of the way.
