Why use Evolution instead of Thunderbird and its Lightning calendar add-on?

I was using Thunderbird as my only mail and calendaring client for almost 18 months until one day it stopped receiving mail. The Thunderbird/Mozilla IRC channel failed to provide a fix for me so I decided to try Evolution instead and thats how I learned Evolution has several advantages over Thunderbird:

    You need at least two add-ons for Thunderbird to enable Exchange calendar support. I never had a problem with Lightning not working after an upgrade but every time you update Thunderbird you risk losing calendaring if the add-ons don't work with the new version. Evolution includes an (optional) Exchange Web Services module as standard for those who want to use it with Exchange.
    Evolution has better support for IMAP than Thunderbird. This is most notable in that Evolution supports mail folders created under Outlook. Such folders are invisible to the user under Thunderbird. Evolution also highlights high-priority emails unlike

Enable images for all emails

Whilst still under preferences, go to Mail Preferences -> HTML messages and select 'Always load images from the internet'
Add your signature and enable HTML messages

Again under preferences, go to Composer Preferences -> Signatures -> Add. I found it easiest to use Insert -> HTML file to import my signature as pasting the HTML into the Add signature window didn't seem to work as expected.

Whilst still under Composer Preferences enable 'Format messages in HTML' to stop Evolution prompting you on if you want to lose formatting every time you reply to a HTML formatted email.

If you want Evolution to automatically add a signature to all new mails go to Mail Accounts under preferences, select the account for which you want a default sig, click 'Edit' and then choose the desired default sig from the drop-down menu under the Identity options.
