Not any more!  When Novell bought Ximian they Open Sourced it.  That's what I 
use, and it works quite well.  Actually, I dislike evolution, but it works as 
well as evolution works.  If they could just port that ability into kmail I'd 
be happy as a clam.

The easiest way to get it is to install Red Carpet from Ximian, then use that 
to install Evolutions Connector.  Only a limited collection of distributions 
is supported, however.
