If Thunderbird can use Google as a back-end provider, why not Evolution? The fact that it has an open API and is entirely open-source should make it a first class provider.

An Evolution Data Server provider would give the user more application choice while maintaining a common storage mechanism in Gnome, Maemo, and other environments.

Calendaring should be simplest point at which to start. Appropriate bugs would have to be filed with Thunderbird for mail storage and contact management.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Try to access the evolution data server back-end through the calendering interface.
Actual Results:
It can not be done currently!

Expected Results:
A user should be able to see the same calendar in Evolution and Sunbird/Lightning when the evolution-data-server provider is used.
