I use Google Calendar as well, so Evolution sounds like a nice option. It looks like it's really integrated into GNOME though - does it depend on a lot of GNOME libs? How is the support for Gmail's "nonstandard" features, like labels and Priority Inbox? I guess what I really want is a desktop mail client that fully supports Gmail's features. Edit: while reading about Evolution on the ArchWiki, I saw this: "Unfortunately, Evolution currently (version 2.26) suffers from a serious IMAP issue, as reported in [2]. It appears this issue has existed for at least the past 3 years prior to this version, and it shows no signs of being dealt with soon." The alternative IMAP setup they describe involves syncing the mail locally, using up several GB of space, which is scarce on my laptop's SSD. The bug report linked to from the wiki shows that it still hasn't been fixed.
