+ <title>Menu Reference</title>
+ <para>
+ This section will serve as a reference for every capability that
+ <application>Evolution</application> has. When menu items are
+ repeated in <application>Evolution</application>, they're repeated
+ here too.
+ </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.

+ <para>
+ The <guimenu>File</guimenu> and <guimenu>Help</guimenu> menus in
+ the main <application>Evolution</application> window do not
+ change, because they refer to universal items. Other menus have
+ contents that change depending on context.
