What is Evolution? - - Evolution is a suite of groupware applications - for mail, contact management, and calendaring. It is - included in the package Evolution, which is a - part of the GNOME desktop environment. This document describes - version &version; of Evolution - - - - What that means is that Evolution is your personal secretary. It can keep track of - memos, emails, - and appointments for you and for everyone in your office. - - - Evolution can be started by - selecting Evolution from - SUBMENU submenu of the Main - Menu, or by running the command - evolution on the commandline. - - - - - - -Using Evolution - - - - As was said before, Evolution can be - used to send and recieve email, manage address and other contact information, - and maintain This section describes basic usage of - Evolution in each of those functions. As with most of Linux, - there's more than one way to do things, and you should pick whichever one strikes you as most - appropriate. - - - - - - Basic usage - - When you first start Evolution, you see - the Main window, as shown in - the following figure. - From there, you should select which features you wish to - use by clicking on their icons in the left-hand navigational column. - The Mail features can be accessed by clicking on the Mail, - and likewise for other features. - -

- - - - - - - The Evolution Mailer - - - This chapter covers the use of the Evolution Mailer. - Configuration of the mail client is discussed in . - 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. - - - - - - Sending and Recieving Mail - - You can start writing a new email message by selecting New Mail from - the FilMenu, or by pressing NEW-MESSAGE-COMBO. - When you do so, the New Message window will open, as shown in - . - - - -
- New Message Window - - Evolution Main Window - - - -
- - - - - - You can pick recipients in several ways: - The TO: 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. - - - If you want to send a copy of the message to someone, you may also use the Cc: 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. - - - - 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 BCC. 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. - - - - Enter a subject into the Subject: field. - - Enter the text of your message into the Message: text area. - - - - If you want to attach a document to your email message, you can do so by - . 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 Send or press SENDCOMBO to send the mail. - - - Send Now, Send Later - - 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 Mail Preferences to specify message queue and filter behavior. - Preferences are discussed in . - - - - - - Organizing Your Mail - - - 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. - - - - - You can create new folders by selecting ITEM from the MENU, or by - pressing SENDCOMBO. Move mail to them by selecting ITEM from the - MENU, or by pressing SENDCOMBO. 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. - - - - - - 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. - - - - - If you find yourself performing a search frequently, you can save it as vFolder. - - - - - - Virtual Folders, or vFolders, are one of the more advanced features of Evolution. 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. - - - - Using vFolders - - 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. - - - - - - - - Filters sort your email for you, automatically. You can access the Filter functions of - the email client by . - - - - 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, - f you have filters enabled, - - - - - - Using the Calendar - To begin using the calendar, select Calendar - from the main navigational frame. This will cause the calendar component of - Evolution to become active. This is illustrated in - the figure below: - -
