your name, email address, and other information. The
default values are the ones found on your system account.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<guilabel>Mail</guilabel>, which allows you to specify
your email server and protocols, as well as attachment
and HTML handling, forwarding behavior, filters, and
other <application>Evolution</application> behaviors
specific to email. The default behaviors are those
approved by Jamie Zawinski.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>

up calendar networking, as well as the way that your
calendar will behave and appear. The default view is by
week and the default calendar is Western. Time and
date are determined by the system clock and
localization, and cannot be set here.

</listitem>

<para>
If you have only one email address, or use automatic
forwarding to funnel multiple addresses into one, then you
will only need to configure one identity. To create a single
user with a single identity, enter the following information:

If you have one email accout for your personal life, and one

<title>Multiple Identities and Network Settings</title>
<para>
If you use multiple network connections—if, for
example, you dial up an ISP for your personal mail, and use
a LAN for your work-related tasks— you will also have
to set seperate network settings for each identity.

<sect1 id="config-prefs-network">
<title>Setting up the Network</title>
<para>
In order to do much of anything with
<application>Evolution</application>, you need to connect to
your network. To do that, you'll need to know your user name
and password, what sort of mail sending and receiving
protocols your network uses, and the names of the servers
you'll be using. If you're switching from another groupware
or email progam, you can almost certainly use the same
settings as you did with that program. Select the
<guibutton>Network</guibutton> tab in the
<interface>Preferences</interface> window to get started.

<sect3 id="config-prefs-network-advanced-multiconnect">
<title>Multiple Network Connections</title>
<para>
People with who use multiple ISP's or networks, or who
have multiple email accounts, will need to do a little
more work, but not much.
