Red Carpet and Evolution are GREAT! A tip to Debian users, don't install Ximian. It may be the latest and greatest, but only by a hair (IMHO). Debian "unstable" stays pretty close to being update with Gnome development, and most of these packages work their way into "testing" before too long. I find it very valuable to keep the cruft off my system by running testing for most things, and manually installing the bleeding edge software by hand if I must (and I have had to on occassion). The long and short of it is this, the Ximian people aren't really dedicated to being Debian Policy compliant on how packages are named, how they're maintained, and how they're installed. It caused me no end of headaches when I ran it, and the only way out is to remove all gnome-ximian related packages and install the Debian "proper" equivalents. As far as RedHat and Red Carpet users, you're on your own.
