- What is Evolution, and What Can It Do for Me? - - The word "evolution" means "a process of improvement and - development." The GNOME application - Evolution is meant to be a more - evolved groupware program, and an - integral part of the Internet-connected desktop. - - - As part of the GNOME project, - Evolution is free software. The - program and its source code are released under the terms of - the GNU Public License (GPL), and the documentation falls - under the Free Documentation License (FDL), which is included - with this document (). For more - information about the GPL and the FDL, visit the Free Software - Foundation's website at http://www.fsf.org. - - - - This is a preview release - - Please help develop Evolution - by submitting bug reports when you find bugs. You can do - so by using the Bug Report - Tool (known as bug-buddy - at the command line). - - - - - - Evolution is a suite of tools to - help you work in a group. You can use it to send, receive, - and organize email, manage address and other contact - information, and maintain a calendar. It enables you to do - those things on one or several computers, connected directly - or over a network, for one person or for large groups. - Evolution can handle almost all - your communications tasks with the power and flexibility of - the GNOME desktop environment. - - - The developers of Evolution had - four major goals for their project: - - - - - The application must be both powerful and easy - to use. That means a familiar and intuitive - interface that users could customize to their liking, and - the development of shortcuts for complex tasks. - - - - - Evolution must meet and - exceed the standards set by other groupware products. - It must include support for most major network protocols - so that it can integrate seamlessly with existing - hardware and network environments. - - - - - The project must support open standards and protocols - to turn Evolution into an - advanced development platform. From the simplest - scripting to the most complex network and component - programming, Evolution - needed to offer developers an environment for - cutting-edge application development. - - - - - Data must be safe: Evolution - must not lose mail or corrupt mailbox files. It will - not execute scripts, automatically forward a virus to - your entire contacts list, or delete files from your - hard disk. - - - - - - Evolution is designed to make most - daily tasks faster. For example, it takes only one or two - clicks to enter an appointment or an address card sent to you - by email, or to send email to a contact or appointment. - Evolution makes displays faster and - more efficient, so searches are faster and memory usage is - lower. People who get lots of mail will appreciate advanced - features like vFolders, which - let you save searches as though they were ordinary mail - folders. - - -

- About This Book - - - This version of the Evolution - User's Guide is a draft. It is missing - huge chunks of information, and many of the features it - describes are unimplemented. All the content is subject to - change, especially if you help. Please send comments on the - guide to aaron@helixcode.com. If you would like - to work on the guide please contact me or see the GNOME - Documentation project web site. This - paragraph will be removed in later versions of the manual. - - - - - This book is divided into two sections. The first section is a - guided tour— it will - explain how to use Evolution. If - you are new to Evolution or to - groupware in general, this is the section for you. The second - section, covering configuration, - is targeted at more advanced users, but anyone who wants to - change the way Evolution looks or - acts can benefit from reading it. - - - Typographical conventions - - Some kinds of words are marked off with special typography: - - Applications - Commands typed at the command line - Labels for interface items - - Menu selections look like this: - - Menu - Submenu - Menu Item - - - Buttons you can click - Anything you type in - Text output from a computer - - - - -
