-      <title> What is Evolution, and What Can It Do for Me?</title>
-      <para>
-        The idea of evolution as a process of improvement and
-        development is a strong influence on the developers at Helix
-        Code.  We named our <glossterm>groupware</glossterm> suite
-        "Evolution" because we knew that it would be able to survive
-        in the wilderness of the software marketplace for one reason:
-        it's better.
-      </para>
-      <para>
-        <application>Evolution</application> is a suite of groupware
-        applications within the GNOME desktop environment that you can
-        use to send, receive, and organize email, manage address and
-        other contact information, and maintain a calendar.  It
-        enables you to do those things on one or several computers,
-        connected directly or over a network, for one person or for
-        large groups.  <application>Evolution</application> can handle
-        almost all your communications tasks with the power and
-        flexibility of the GNOME desktop environment.
-      </para>
-      <para>
-        We built <application>Evolution</application> with three groups of
-        people in mind: everyday users, system administrators, and
-        developers.

-              For <emphasis>everyday users</emphasis>, we made
-              <application>Evolution</application> easy to use without
-              sacrificing power.  We made the interface familiar and
-              intuitive, but also allowed users to customize it to
-              their liking.  We made the setup and configuration as
-              easy as possible.  For any confusion, we wrote a
-              comprehensive manual and help system.
-            </para>

-               For <emphasis>administrators</emphasis>, we made sure
-              <application>Evolution</application> met and and
-              exceeded the standards set by currently available
-              groupware products, and we developed support for most
-              major network protocols so that it can integrate
-              seamlessly with existing hardware and network
-              environments.  All of our efforts have made
-              <application>Evolution</application> both easy to use
-              and easy to support.

-	    <para>
-               For <emphasis>developers</emphasis>, we built in
-               support for open standards and protocols to turn
-               <application>Evolution</application> into an advanced
-               development platform.  From the simplest scripting to
-               the most complex network and component programming,
-               <application>Evolution</application> offers developers
-               the ideal environment for cutting-edge application
-               development.

-               For all three groups, we did our best to ensure the
-               safety of data.

-      <para>
-        In action, <application>Evolution</application> makes most
-        daily tasks faster, because we built it to work with you
-        instead of against you.  For example, it takes only one or two
-        clicks to enter an appointment or an address card sent to you
-        by email, or to send email to a contact or appointment.
-        <application>Evolution</application> makes displays faster and
-        more efficient, so searches are faster and memory usage is
-        lower.  People who get lots of mail will appreciate
-        advanced features like <link
-        linkend="usage-mail-organize-vFolders">vFolders</link>, which
-        let you save searches as though they were ordinary mail
-        folders.

-        This version of the <application>Evolution</application>
-        User's Guide is a <emphasis>draft</emphasis>.  It is missing
-        huge chunks of information, and many of the features it

-        This book is divided into three sections. The first section is
-        a <link linkend="usage">guided tour</link>&mdash; it will
-        explain how to use <application>Evolution</application>.  If
-        you are new to <application>Evolution</application> or to
-        groupware in general, this is the section for you. The second
-        section, covering <link linkend="config">configuration</link>,
-        is targeted at advanced users and administrators.  If you are
-        a network administrator, you may find yourself referring to
-        this section frequently.  The third section is a quick <link
-        linkend="devel">developer's guide</link>, for power users and
-        hackers.  If you want to add advanced scripting to
-        <application>Evolution</application>, write your own
-        embeddable components, or simply want to find out just how
-        powerful <application>Evolution</application> can be, this is
-        the section for you.
-      </para>
-      <para>
-        Throughout the book, you'll find examples, tips and warnings
-        to help you along.  Most of them are decent, hardworking
-        pieces of information, and genuinely try to be helpful. Some
-        of the tips, entitled <emphasis>Bad Ideas</emphasis>,
-        are, in fact, out to trick you.  Please don't follow their
-        advice, no matter how appealing it may sound.
