[CentOS] Thunderbird vs. Evolution vs. OwnCloud

Hi,

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?

Cheers,
