Really? Or is it only expected for Linux distros, which are normally
installed by power users?
I don't think I've ever bought a Windows computer that came with a mail
client, but it's been a while; maybe they all do nowadays?
MS has shipped with Microsoft Mail since Vista, IIRC.

Hm, if you really think there would be backlash, then I agree we should
keep it.
Like I said, I think it would be a problem not to have any at all. I don't
particularly care if it's Evolution. (anecdote: I actually switched back to
Thunderbird myself a few months ago, because Evolution was eating too much CPU
processing my obscene volume of mail)
