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.
