Known Bad Email Clients

As of 2025-July-19, Evolution Mail is vulnerable to two privacy issues,

linkPreconnect

and

dnsLink

. I do not know how long they have been vulnerable to these two issues, but they have

been aware

of one of them for at least 15 months so far and have done nothing to address it or warn their users. They refuse to even put a notice in the client warning people to not rely on the "Load Remote Content" feature for privacy, preferring to delay indefinitely, for the fix to be handled in a library they're choosing to use.

If/when these two issues are fixed, I still can not recommend using Evolution Mail, as the devs have

proven

that they are completely uninterested in addressing privacy issues in a timely manner, or informing their users when they are exposed. If/when I am confident the bugs and culture are fixed, I will remove Evolution Mail from this list of known bad email clients.
