i was recently asked how to set up this software on the mac -- so, here goes:
the 2.6 mac os.x (10.3.x or 10.4.y) build for evolution is available here. documentation for evolution is very complete and quite nice.
make sure you have a functioning x11 installation; meaning that you can get to xterm. then, just install the osx-evolution-2.6 build.
the tricky thing, of course, is to read the instructions. i realize that this is over-rated, but; you MUST initially launch evolution by using xterm. [cd] into the /opt/gnome-2.14/bin directory ... then using the command [sh ./launch_evolution]; you're on your way!
if you run into problems, more than likely you will need to:

if you run into problems, more than likely you will need to:
- chown 777 launch_evolution
- to repair broken icons, place the command into the file .gtkrc-2.0 in your $HOME directory.
gtk-icon-theme-name = "gnome"
- if you don't have such a file, create one,
- contrary to some posts, you do NOT need to install the hicolor theme.
- if you need to access a m$.exchange server:
- create a pop or imap mail account first
- THEN, activate the exchange plugin.
- quit/restart evolution (again, use xterm!)
- now, you can create an exchange account
