<title>Menu Reference</title>
<para>
- This section will serve as a reference for every menu that
- <application>Evolution</application> has. If you've ever wondered
- what some obscure menu item does, this is the chapter for
- you. When menu items are repeated in
- <application>Evolution</application>, they're repeated here too.
+ <application>Evolution</application>'s menus may not hold the
+ secret to happiness, they do hold every ability that
+ <application>Evolution</application> has. This section will serve
+ as a reference for all those menus, and the capabilites that they
+ offer you.
</para>
<para>
- From left to right, the menus available to you when you are
- reading mail are: <guimenu>File</guimenu>,
- <guimenu>Edit</guimenu>, <guimenu>View</guimenu>,
- <guimenu>Tools</guimenu>, <guimenu>Actions</guimenu>, and
- <guimenu>Help</guimenu>. The last of these doesn't change, but
- the rest of them have contents that will change depending on
- whether you're looking at mail, contacts, or calendar information.
In addition, the editor tools for messages, appointments, and
- contacts all have menu bars.
+ contacts all have menu bars of their own. From left to right, the
+ menus available to you when you are reading mail are:
+ <guimenu>File</guimenu>, <guimenu>Edit</guimenu>,
+ <guimenu>View</guimenu>, <guimenu>Settings</guimenu>,
+ <guimenu>Message</guimenu>, <guimenu>Folder</guimenu>and
+ <guimenu>Help</guimenu>.
+
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Menus in <application>Evolution</application> are
+ context-sensitive, which means that they vary depending on what
+ you're doing. If you're reading your mail, you'll have
+ mail-related menus; for your calendar, you'll have
+ calendar-related menu items. Some menus, of course, like
+ <guimenu>Help</guimenu> and <guimenu>File</guimenu> don't much, if
+ at all, because they have more universal functions. But you'd
+ never mark an address card as "read," or set the recurrence for an
+ email message you've recieved. depending on whether you're looking
+ at mail, contacts, or calendar information.
