<para>
- The bugs are many, but the application is young, and this is to
- be expected.
+ Evolution is still beta software, so the bug tracking is best
+ left to the bugzilla system and to the programmers. However,
+ there are a number of limitations that will not be addressed
+ before version 1.0. The most notable are: Import of Microsoft
+ Outlook .pst files, and compatibility with the Microsoft
