+      <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.  
+
+        <itemizedlist>
+	  <listitem>
+	    <para>
+              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>
+	  </listitem>
+	  <listitem>
+	    <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>
+	  </listitem>
+	  <listitem>
+	    <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.
+            </para>
+	  </listitem>
+	  <listitem>
+	    <para>
+               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
+        much 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.

+      <para>
+        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.
