I'm currently using Thunderbird synced to OwnCloud on my main workstation running Slackware64 14.1. I just installed CentOS 7 on my Asus S300 laptop. It's running nicely, and I'm spending some time getting acquainted with it.
I wonder if I should stick with Thunderbird or go with the default Evolution application, since this seems to be better integrated into the desktop, namely the calendar function.
On the other hand, it seems like you have to jump through burning loops to connect Evolution to OwnCloud.
What are your experiences with these two clients and OwnCloud? Any suggestions?
I use Thunderbird exclusively on my linux-systems. I also feel the Lightning-addin for calendars in T-bird needs "some" work to be usable.
While I don't use my Owncloud for mail, only used as a cloud storage, I have however used Evolution. In that context Evolution with CentOS sucks. It's just plain ugly and not a bit intuitive IMHO.
My workaround is to just connect to my calendars (Google Calendar) with a web browser.
YMMV of course.
