+       <para>
+       This chapter covers the use of the Evolution Mailer. 
+       Configuration of the mail client is discussed in <xref linkend="customization">.
+       If you are already accustomed to other email programs, 
+       you can probably skip the mail sending and checking sections. 
+       The more complex functions, such as filtering, organizing, and searching mail,
+        have some features that are not found in other email programs, and 
+       even power users may wish to review these sections of the guide.

+       <para>
+      You can start writing a new email message by selecting <guimenuitem>New Mail</guimenuitem> from
+      the <guimenu>FilMenu</guimenu>, or by pressing <KeyCombo>NEW-MESSAGE-COMBO</KeyCombo>.

+     
+     <para> 
+      You can pick recipients in several ways: 
+      The <guilabel>TO:</guilabel> field is for the primary recipients of the message your are going to send.
+      It is considered bad form to have more than a few email addresses in this form.
+      </para>
+      <para>
+      If you want to send a copy of the message to someone, you may also use the <guilabel>Cc:</guilabel> field.  
+      "Cc" stands for "Carbon Copy"-- Those people will recieve a copy of the message.  They will see
+      the rest of the message list, and are noted as secondary recipients of the message. 
+      </para>
+      
+      <para>
+      If you have a large number of recipients, or if you want to send mail to several people without
+      telling them that it's gone to multiple people, you should use <guilabel>BCC.</guilabel>  BCC stands 
+      for "Blind Carbon Copy".  Addresses entered into this field will recieve the message
+      but the message headers will not see the rest of the recipient list.
+      </para>
+
+      <para>
+      Enter a subject into the <guilabel>Subject:</guilabel> field.
+
+      Enter the text of your message into the <guilabel>Message:</guilabel> text area.
+      </para>
+      
+      <para>
+      If you want to attach a document to your email message, you can do so by
+       <!--describe process here-->.  If the people you are sending a message to
+       can read HTML mail, you can embed an image into the mail.  Otherwise,
+       it's best to attach images, just like other documents.  Be aware that a large
+       attachment will take a long time to download.

+      Click <guibutton>Send</guibutton> or press <KeyCombo>SENDCOMBO</KeyCombo> to send the mail.

+    <tip> 
+      <title>Send Now, Send Later</title>
+      <para>
+      Evolution will send mail immediately unless you set it to do so otherwise.  It also checks for 
+      new mail every time you send mail.  If you
+      want, however, you can queue your messages to be sent at a later time, and also set your
+      preferences to check mail on a regular basis, and alert you whenever it finds new messages.
+      I like  to use "Send Later" because it gives me a chance change my mind about a message
+      before it goes out, and I have Evolution set to check my mail every ten minutes, and beep
+      when I get mail that it thinks isn't spam.
+      Use the <interface>Mail Preferences</interface> to specify message queue and filter behavior.  
+      Preferences are discussed in <xref linkend="customization">.

+
+    <sect1 id="mail-sorting">
+    <title>Organizing Your Mail</title>
+
+    <para>
+    If you only get a few messages a day, you probably don't need to to sort or organize them.  When you get several hundred each day,
+    and when you want to refer to a message you've recieved six weeks ago, you want a real
+    organizing system.  This section will cover the mail sorting and organization: folders, searches, vFolders, and filters.
+    <!--those last items should be links-->
+
+    <sect2 id="mail_folders">
+    <para>
+    You can create new folders by selecting <guimenuitem>ITEM</guimenuitem> from the <guimenu>MENU</guimenu>, or by
+    pressing <KeyCombo>SENDCOMBO</KeyCombo>.  Move mail to them by selecting <guimenuitem>ITEM</guimenuitem> from the
+    <guimenu>MENU</guimenu>, or by pressing <KeyCombo>SENDCOMBO</KeyCombo>.  An email message can be in only one folder at a time,
+    just like real mail in real folders. If you forget where an email is, you can search for it. If you find that you want
+    an email to be in several places at once, you should consider creating a vFolder, or virtual folder.
+    <para>
+    </sect2>    
+
+    <sect2 id="mail_searching">
+    <para>
+    Because Evolution automatically creates an index of every email you recieve, it can search through your old
+    messages and present you with the results in short order.  
+    <!--describe the way one creates a search and so forth.-->    
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+    If you find yourself performing a search frequently, you can save it as vFolder.
+    </para>
+    </sect2>
+    
+    <sect2 id="mail_vFolders">
+    <para>
+    Virtual Folders, or vFolders, are one of the more  advanced features of <application>Evolution</application>.  If they confuse you,
+    you don't have to use them.  However, if you get a lot of mail, and find yourself referring to messages, looking for old email, 
+    or just living in your email client, you'll probably want to use them. 
+    Basically, a vFolder is a saved search, which you can access the same way you would a normmal folder.
+    There are several important differences between the two, however, which come from the fact that  a conventional
+    folder actually contains a message, but a virtual folder is really a different view of all your email.  This means that
+    while a  message can be in several vFolders, it can be in only one conventional folder.  Also, 
+    you cannot add or delete a message from a vFolder, and when you delete a message from a conventional folder,
+    it will disappear from all your vFolders--a search can't find a deleted message.  
+    </para>
+    </sect2>
+
+    <example><title>Using vFolders</title>
+    <para>
+    I have a vFolder set up for all the mail about a project I'm
+    working on, and another one for all the mail from my friend Bernie.
+    If Bernie sends me mail about the project, I can see that message both in the "Bernie" folder and in the "Project" folder.
+    That's because when I open up the "Bernie" folder, I'm really performing a search for all the mail from Bernie, and when you open the 
+    "Project" folder you're really performing a search for all the mail about the project.  That particular message 
+    actually resides in some other folder,
+    maybe just in my Inbox.  I can't delete it from the vFolder, because the vFolder is really a different view of my messages.
+    When I delete it from
+    the Inbox, I have also removed it from all my vFolders, because no search can find a deleted message.
+    <!--this could use a cool picture of the Inbox and 2 vFolders with the message in all 3-->
+    </para>
+    </example>
+    
+
+    <sect2 id="mail_filters">
+    <para>
+    Filters sort your email for you, automatically.  You can access the Filter functions of
+    the email client by <!--BLAH BLAH BLAH-->.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>    
+    Email starts in your Inbox.  As it arrives, it is indexed and filtered from ther.  Any email
+    that does not meet filter action criteria remains in the Inbox.   To create a filter,
+     <!--open the menu somehow-->f you have filters enabled,
