Back end isn't the issue, it's bad UX have two apps do the same thing.
I agree, but we've already crossed that bridge with Contacts, which we've had forever, and Notes, which we are admittedly dropping for now.
We really need someone to get the ball rolling on GNOME Mail, the only part of Evolution we haven't replaced yet. Unfortunately, that's a huge project.
I think that's a somewhat misleading statement. Whether gnome-calendar or gnome-contacts 'replace' the corresponding components in evolution really depends on your use case.
And whether 3 or more freestanding applications can ever fully replace the tightly coupled components of such a 'groupware' UI is not clear to me.
Anyway, as you say: there is no freestanding GNOME mail client available for us to ship anyway. Geary is dead and pantheon mail is just doing small amounts of window dressing on the geary code base.
