- Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license - document, but changing it is not allowed. - - - - - 0. PREAMBLE - - - The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other - written document "free" in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone - the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without - modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily, - this License preserves for the author and publisher a way to get - credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for - modifications made by others. - - - - This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative - works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It - complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft - license designed for free software. - - - - We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free - software, because free software needs free documentation: a free - program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the - software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals; it - can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or - whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License - principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference. - - - - - 1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS - - - This License applies to any manual or other work that contains a - notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed - under the terms of this License. The "Document" , below, refers to any such - manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is - addressed as "you". - - - - A "Modified Version" of the - Document means any work containing the Document or a portion of it, - either copied verbatim, or with modifications and/or translated into - another language. - - - - A "Secondary Section" is a named - appendix or a front-matter section of the Document that deals exclusively with the - relationship of the publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject (or to - related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly within - that overall subject. (For example, if the Document is in part a textbook of - mathematics, a Secondary Section - may not explain any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter - of historical connection with the subject or with related matters, or - of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position - regarding them. - - - - The "Invariant Sections" are - certain Secondary Sections whose - titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice that - says that the Document is released - under this License. - - - - The "Cover Texts" are certain - short passages of text that are listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that - says that the Document is released - under this License. - - - - A "Transparent" copy of the - Document means a machine-readable - copy, represented in a format whose specification is available to the - general public, whose contents can be viewed and edited directly and - straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of - pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available - drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or - for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input - to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file format whose markup - has been designed to thwart or discourage subsequent modification by - readers is not Transparent. A - copy that is not "Transparent" - is called "Opaque". - - - - Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain - ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML - or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple - HTML designed for human modification. Opaque formats include - PostScript, PDF, proprietary formats that can be read and edited only - by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or - processing tools are not generally available, and the - machine-generated HTML produced by some word processors for output - purposes only. - - - - The "Title Page" means, for a - printed book, the title page itself, plus such following pages as are - needed to hold, legibly, the material this License requires to appear - in the title page. For works in formats which do not have any title - page as such, "Title Page" - means the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title, - preceding the beginning of the body of the text. - - - - - - 2. VERBATIM COPYING - - - You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either - commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the - copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies - to the Document are reproduced in - all copies, and that you add no other conditions whatsoever to those - of this License. You may not use technical measures to obstruct or - control the reading or further copying of the copies you make or - distribute. However, you may accept compensation in exchange for - copies. If you distribute a large enough number of copies you must - also follow the conditions in section - 3. - - - - You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and - you may publicly display copies. - - - - - - 3. COPYING IN QUANTITY - - - If you publish printed copies of the Document numbering more than 100, and - the Document's license notice - requires Cover Texts, you must - enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all - these Cover Texts: Front-Cover - Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both - covers must also clearly and legibly identify you as the publisher of - these copies. The front cover must present the full title with all - words of the title equally prominent and visible. You may add other - material on the covers in addition. Copying with changes limited to - the covers, as long as they preserve the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, - can be treated as verbatim copying in other respects. - - - - If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit - legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit - reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent - pages. - - - - If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering more than 100, you - must either include a machine-readable Transparent copy along with each - Opaque copy, or state in or - with each Opaque copy a - publicly-accessible computer-network location containing a complete - Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material, which - the general network-using public has access to download anonymously at - no charge using public-standard network protocols. If you use the - latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin - distribution of Opaque copies - in quantity, to ensure that this Transparent copy will remain thus - accessible at the stated location until at least one year after the - last time you distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your - agents or retailers) of that edition to the public. - - - - It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the - Document well before - redistributing any large number of copies, to give them a chance to - provide you with an updated version of the Document. - - - - - - 4. MODIFICATIONS - - - You may copy and distribute a Modified - Version of the Document - under the conditions of sections 2 - and 3 above, provided that you - release the Modified Version under - precisely this License, with the Modified - Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution - and modification of the Modified - Version to whoever possesses a copy of it. In addition, you - must do these things in the Modified - Version: - - - - - - A - - Use in the Title Page (and - on the covers, if any) a title distinct from that of the Document, and from those of - previous versions (which should, if there were any, be listed in - the History section of the Document). You may use the same - title as a previous version if the original publisher of that - version gives permission. - - - - - - - B - - List on the Title Page, as - authors, one or more persons or entities responsible for - authorship of the modifications in the Modified Version, together with at - least five of the principal authors of the Document (all of its principal - authors, if it has less than five). - - - - - - - C - - State on the Title Page - the name of the publisher of the Modified Version, as the - publisher. - - - - - - - D - - Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document. - - - - - - - E - - Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications - adjacent to the other copyright notices. - - - - - - - F - - Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license - notice giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the terms - of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below. - - - - - - - G - - Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections and required - Cover Texts given in the - Document's license notice. - - - - - - - H - - Include an unaltered copy of this License. - - - - - - - I - - Preserve the section entitled "History", and its title, and add - to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and - publisher of the Modified Version - as given on the Title - Page. If there is no section entitled "History" in the - Document, create one stating - the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as given on its Title Page, then add an item - describing the Modified - Version as stated in the previous sentence. - - - - - - - J - - Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for public access to a - Transparent copy of the - Document, and likewise the - network locations given in the Document for previous versions it - was based on. These may be placed in the "History" section. You - may omit a network location for a work that was published at - least four years before the Document itself, or if the - original publisher of the version it refers to gives permission. - - - - - - - K - - In any section entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications", - preserve the section's title, and preserve in the section all - the substance and tone of each of the contributor - acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein. - - - - - - - L - - Preserve all the Invariant - Sections of the Document, unaltered in their text - and in their titles. Section numbers or the equivalent are not - considered part of the section titles. - - - - - - - M - - Delete any section entitled "Endorsements". Such a section may - not be included in the Modified - Version. - - - - - - - N - - Do not retitle any existing section as "Endorsements" or to - conflict in title with any Invariant Section. - - - - - - - If the Modified Version includes - new front-matter sections or appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no - material copied from the Document, you may at your option designate - some or all of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their - titles to the list of Invariant - Sections in the Modified - Version's license notice. These titles must be distinct from - any other section titles. - - - - You may add a section entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains - nothing but endorsements of your Modified - Version by various parties--for example, statements of peer - review or that the text has been approved by an organization as the - authoritative definition of a standard. - - - - You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a passage of up - to 25 words as a Back-Cover - Text, to the end of the list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of - Front-Cover Text and one of - Back-Cover Text may be added by - (or through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already includes a cover text - for the same cover, previously added by you or by arrangement made by - the same entity you are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; - but you may replace the old one, on explicit permission from the - previous publisher that added the old one. - - - - The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License give - permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or imply - endorsement of any Modified Version - . - - - - - - 5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS - - - You may combine the Document with - other documents released under this License, under the terms defined - in section 4 above for modified - versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the - Invariant Sections of all of the - original documents, unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined - work in its license notice. - - - - The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and - multiple identical Invariant - Sections may be replaced with a single copy. If there are - multiple Invariant Sections with - the same name but different contents, make the title of each such - section unique by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of - the original author or publisher of that section if known, or else a - unique number. Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the - list of Invariant Sections in the - license notice of the combined work. - - - - In the combination, you must combine any sections entitled "History" - in the various original documents, forming one section entitled - "History"; likewise combine any sections entitled "Acknowledgements", - and any sections entitled "Dedications". You must delete all sections - entitled "Endorsements." - - - - - - 6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS - - - You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents released - under this License, and replace the individual copies of this License - in the various documents with a single copy that is included in the - collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for - verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects. - - - - You may extract a single document from such a collection, and - distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert a - copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow this - License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of that - document. - - - - - - 7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS - - - A compilation of the Document or - its derivatives with other separate and independent documents or - works, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, does not - as a whole count as a Modified - Version of the Document, - provided no compilation copyright is claimed for the compilation. - Such a compilation is called an "aggregate", and this License does not - apply to the other self-contained works thus compiled with the Document , on account of their being - thus compiled, if they are not themselves derivative works of the - Document. If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these copies - of the Document, then if the Document is less than one quarter of the - entire aggregate, the Document's - Cover Texts may be placed on - covers that surround only the Document within the aggregate. Otherwise - they must appear on covers around the whole aggregate. - - - - - - 8. TRANSLATION - - - Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may - distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4. Replacing Invariant Sections with translations - requires special permission from their copyright holders, but you may - include translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the - original versions of these Invariant - Sections. You may include a translation of this License - provided that you also include the original English version of this - License. In case of a disagreement between the translation and the - original English version of this License, the original English version - will prevail. - - - - - - 9. TERMINATION - - - You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except as expressly provided - for under this License. Any other attempt to copy, modify, sublicense - or distribute the Document is - void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this - License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from - you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long - as such parties remain in full compliance. - - - - - - 10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE - - - The Free - Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of the - GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new versions - will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in - detail to address new problems or concerns. See http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/. - - - - Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version - number. If the Document specifies - that a particular numbered version of this License "or any later - version" applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and - conditions either of that specified version or of any later version - that has been published (not as a draft) by the Free Software - Foundation. If the Document does - not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any - version ever published (not as a draft) by the Free Software - Foundation. - - - - - - Addendum - - - To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of - the License in the document and put the following copyright and - license notices just after the title page: - - - - Copyright © YEAR YOUR NAME. - - - - Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document - under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.1 or - any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; with the - Invariant Sections being LIST - THEIR TITLES, with the Front-Cover - Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts being LIST. A copy - of the license is included in the section entitled GNU Free - Documentation License. - - - - If you have no Invariant - Sections, write "with no Invariant Sections" instead of saying - which ones are invariant. If you have no Front-Cover Texts, write "no - Front-Cover Texts" instead of "Front-Cover Texts being LIST"; likewise - for Back-Cover Texts. - - - - If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we - recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of - free software license, such as the GNU General Public - License, to permit their use in free software. - - - - - \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/doc/C/config-prefs.sgml b/doc/C/config-prefs.sgml deleted file mode 100644 index 67ca0e7577..0000000000 --- a/doc/C/config-prefs.sgml +++ /dev/null @@ -1,209 +0,0 @@ - - - Advanced Configuration with the Preferences Window - - If you prefer not to use the setup assistant, select - Preferences from the - Settings menu, and work your way through - the page tabs it offers you.

- What is Evolution, and What Can It Do for Me? - - The idea of evolution as a process of improvement and - development is a strong influence on the developers at Helix - Code. We named our groupware suite - "Evolution" because we knew that it would be able to survive - in the wilderness of the software marketplace for one reason: - it's better. - - - Evolution is a suite of groupware - applications within the GNOME desktop environment that you can - use 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. - - - We built Evolution with three groups of - people in mind: everyday users, system administrators, and - developers. - - - - - For everyday users, we made - Evolution easy to use without - sacrificing power. We made the interface familiar and - intuitive, but also allowed users to customize it to - their liking. We made the setup and configuration as - easy as possible. For any confusion, we wrote a - comprehensive manual and help system. - - - - - For administrators, we made sure - Evolution met and and - exceeded the standards set by currently available - groupware products, and we developed support for most - major network protocols so that it can integrate - seamlessly with existing hardware and network - environments. All of our efforts have made - Evolution both easy to use - and easy to support. - - - - - For developers, we built in - support for 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 offers developers - the ideal environment for cutting-edge application - development. - - - - - For all three groups, we did our best to ensure the - safety of data. - - - - - - In action, Evolution makes most - daily tasks faster, because we built it to work with you - instead of against you. 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 - much 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. - - -

If - there are large numbers of people in the Cc: fields, - this can save substantial amounts of time. - - - - - - - - Embellishing that email - - Evolution allows you to - make your email more attractive in a number of ways.

This section will tell - you how. - - - - - Colors, pictures, and fonts with HTML Mail - - Most email messages are sent as plain text, but they - can also be sent as HTML, which means they can include - color, text style, and other formatting information. - Evolution will read and display HTML properly without - trouble, and also allows you to send outgoing - email messages as HTML. To send an HTML message, just - use the composition toolbar to add formatting; - your message text will appear formatted in the composer - window, and the message will be sent as HTML. - - - A Technical note on HTML Tags - - Any text, including HTML tags, entered into the - message composition window is assumed to be plain - text. If you enter HTML directly into the - composer— say, <BR>Bold Text</BR>, - the the composer will assume you meant exactly that, - and not "make this text bold," as a HTML composition - tool would. For the technically inclined, that - means that when the text <BR> is sent as HTML, it - will be converted to the string - &lt;BR&gt;. - - - - Some people do not have HTML-capable mail clients, or - prefer not to receive HTML-enhanced mail because it - is slower to download and display. Some people refer - to HTML mail as "the root of all evil" and get very - angry if you send them HTML mail, which is why the - default in Evolution is - plain text. If you have an address book entry for - someone who does not wish to receive HTML-enhanced - mail, you can note that preference in their address - card. The mailer will automatically strip the HTML - tags from any messages you send to that address. - - - - - Attachments - - If you want to attach a file to your email message, - you can do so by .

At this point, however, I don't know how - that will work. - - - - - - Forwarding Mail - - Forward is useful if you have - received a message and you think someone else would like - to see it, or if you get a message intended for someone - else. You can forward a message as an attachment to a - new message (the default way of forwarding) or you can send it - inline as a quoted portion of the - message you are sending. Attachment forwarding is best - if you want to send the entire message you received, - unaltered. Inline forwarding is best if you want to - send portions of a message, or if you have a large - number of comments on different sections of the message - you are forwarding. Remember to note from whom the - message came, and where, if at all, you have removed or - altered content. - - - To forward a message, first make sure it is selected by - clicking it once in the message list. Then, press - Forward on the toolbar, or select - SOMETHING. To forward a message inline instead of as an - attachment, DO SOMETHING ELSE. Choose an addressee as - you would when sending a new message; the subject will - already be entered, but you can alter it. Enter your - comments on the message in the composition - frame, and press Send and - Receive. To forward it - inline instead of attached, - select Forward Inline from - the Message menu. - - - - Seven Tips for Email Usage - - I started with ten, but four were "Don't send - spam." - - - - Always begin and close with a salutation.

When you get a - hundred a day and you want to refer to a message you - received six weeks ago, you need to sort and organize them, - and Evolution has the tools to - help you do it. - - - - Getting Organized with Folders - - You can create new folders by selecting - ITEM from the - MENU, or by pressing - COMBO. (Will there be a dialog box to - determine name and location? Must wait for feature to - describe) The new folders will appear in the - tree view, and you can drag them - wherever you want to relocate them. You can move messages - into them by dragging, or by selecting them and choosing - ITEM from the - MENU. An email message can be in only - one folder at a time, just like real mail in real folders. - This is also the case for folders of address cards and calendar - information. - - - - - Searching for Messages - - Because Evolution automatically - creates an index of every email you send or receive, it - can search through your old messages and present you with - results very quickly. You can search for messages by - author, subject, keyword, or headers. (INSERT descriptons - of what those terms mean) - - - (INSERT the way one creates a search and so forth) - - - - - Getting Really Organized with Virtual Folders - - If you find yourself performing a search frequently, you - can save it as a virtual folder. Virtual folders, or - vFolders, are an advanced way of viewing your email - messages within Evolution. If - you get a lot of mail or often forget where you put - messages, vFolders can help you stay on top of things. - - - A vFolder looks and acts a lot like a folder, but it's - actually a saved search that you can access in most of the - same ways you would a regular folder. The one important - differences between them is that a conventional folder - actually contains messages, but a vFolder is a view of - messages that may be in several different folders. This - means that while a message may fall into several vFolders, - it can be in only one conventional folder. Also, it means - that you cannot remove a message from a vFolder unless you - delete it, and you cannot add a message to a vFolder - unless you change the vFolder's search criteria. - - - As messages that meet the vFolder criteria arrive or are - deleted, Evolution will - automatically place them in and and remove them from the - vFolder contents list. When you delete a message, it gets - erased from the folder it actually exists in as well as - any vFolders which include it. - - - That's pretty complicated. But it can be useful. For - example, if I have a folder for all the email from one - person, and another folder for all the email on a given - topic, I feel organized. But when the person sends me - mail about the topic, my whole email filing universe - becomes chaotic. I need vFolders to save the day for me. - - - That sounds silly, but imagine a business trying to keep - track of mail from hundreds of vendors and clients, or a - university with overlapping and changing groups of - faculty, staff, administrators and students. The larger - the system, the less you can afford that sort of - confusion. vFolders make for better organization because - they can accept overlapping groups in a way that regular - folders and filing systems can't. - - - - Using Folders, Searches, and vFolders - - To organize my mail box, I can set up a vFolder - for emails from my friend Vince, by doing (INSERT - PROCESS HERE). Then, whenever I want to see the - messages Vince has sent me, I open the vFolder, and - every message he's sent me shows up, no matter where - I've actually filed it. If I want, I can also create a - vFolder containing any message from my list of - co-workers which also has the name of the project in - it. That way, when Vince sends me mail about the - project, I can see that message both in the "Vince" - vFolder and in the "Project" vFolder. That's because - when I open up the "Vince" folder, I'm really - performing a search for all the mail from Vince, and - when I open the "Project" folder I'm really performing - a search for all the mail about the project. - - (INSERT SCREENSHOT HERE) - - - - - - - Staying organized: Mail Filters in Evolution - - Filters sort your email for you as it arrives in your - Inbox, so you don't have to sort them all yourself. - People who subscribe to multiple mailing lists find - filters especially helpful to sort personal from - list-related mail.
