- 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. - - - - -

- 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 . If - your recipients can read HTML mail, you can put an - image inside the mail by dragging the file into the - composer window, or by selecting (INSERT DESCRIPTION - HERE) (IS THIS CORRECT?).

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. Say - "please" and "thank you", just like you do in real - life. You can keep your pleasantries short, but be pleasant! - - - - - - ALL CAPS MEANS YOU'RE SHOUTING! - - - - - - Never write anything in email you wouldn't say in - public. Old messages have a nasty habit of - resurfacing when you least expect them to. - - - - - - Check your spelling and use complete sentences. - - - - - - Don't send nasty emails (flames). If you get one, - don't write back. - - - - - - Don't send spam or forward chain mail. If you - must, verify any rumors, and make sure the - message doesn't have multiple layers of email - quotation symbols (>) indicating multiple - layers of careless inline forwarding. - - - - - - When you reply or forward, include just enough of - the previous message to provide context.

- - - Organizing Your Mail - - Even if you only get a few email messages a day, you - probably want to sort and organize them. 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. To create a filter, go to your - Inbox.

-The Evolution Project specification
-Miguel de Icaza.
-
-
-* Introduction
-
-	Evolution is a project aiming at providing the free software
-	community with a professional, high-quality tool for managing
-	mail, appointments, tasks and other personal information
-	tools.  
-
-	We want to make Evolution a system that addresses our needs
-	(the free software development community) and we believe that
-	by addressing our needs, we will provide a system that will
-	scale in the years to come for other users that are just
-	starting to use computers and the internet.
-
-	The main objectives of Evolution are to provide these powerful
-	features, and to make the user interface as pretty and
-	polished as possible.
-
-	Evolution is a GNOME application and a number of auxiliary
-	CORBA servers that act as the storage backends. 
-
-	Evolution will copy the best user interface bits and the best
-	ideas and features found on contemporary groupware systems.
-
-* Evolution internals.
-
-	Evolution can store its information locally (files for mail,
-	calendar and address book) or on a remote server (imap/pop,
-	cap, ldap).  
-
-	Given the importance of syncing in this modern PDA world,
-	the Evolution GUI acts as a client to the data repository.
-	The data repository is a GUI-less CORBA server called Wombat.
-
-	Wombat provides a unified access system to the calendar and
-	addressbook data (doing mail is a bit hard, so we are leaving
-	this as a TODO item for now).
-
-	Wombat's CORBA interfaces are notifier-based.  This means that
-	CORBA requests sent to Wombat do not return values
-	inmediately, but rather than for Wombat requests the user has
-	to provide a CORBA object that will be notified of what
-	happened.
-
-	Yes, that sounds hairy.  It is actually pretty simple.  It
-	basically means that you submit requests to Wombat, and a
-	callback is invoked in your code when the request has been
-	carried away. 
-
-	This enables a Palm to sync to the repository without having
-	the GUI for Evolution running.  It also means that volunteers
-	will be able to write text-based and web-based versions of
-	Evolution (not me though :-).
-
-* Evolution as a platform
-
-	Evolution is more than a client for managing the above
-	information: Evolution is a platform for building groupware
-	applications that use the above components to get their work done.
-
-	To achieve this Evolution is designed to be scriptable, and it
-	exports its internals trough CORBA/Bonobo.  It is implemented
-	as a collection of Bonobo containers and Bonobo components.
-
-	There is a clean separation between the views (the user
-	interface) and the model (the view).  The views that we are
-	writing are GNOME based, and they talk to the Wombat CORBA
-	server.
-
-	Wombat takes care of notifications to the various clients for
-	the data. 
-
-* The overall organization
-
-	A bar similar to outlook provides shortcuts for accessing the
-	various resources managed by Evolution: mail folders,
-	contacts, tasks, journal entries, notes, messages and other
-	user-defined destinations. 
-
-* User interface widgets
-
-** The ETable package
-
-	This package provides a way of displaying and editing tables.
-
-	Tables are displayed based on a TableColumn definition that
-	defines the layout used for the display.  Table Columns can be
-	nested, and the package does grouping of information displayed
-	according to the criteria defined there.
-
-	This is used in multiple places troughout evolution: it is
-	used for the Mail summary display, for the TODO display and
-	TODO new data entry and for the address book.
-
-	Nesting in the address book can be performed on various
-	fields.  For example, a first level of nesting could be
-	"Company" and a second level would be "Country" the result is
-	a 2-level tree that can be collapsed expanded and contains the
-	information sorted/grouped by those two criteria.
-
-	The user interface for this will be copied from Outlook: the
-	possibility of adding and removing fields with drag and drop
-	as well as grouping using drag and drop.
-
-* The Mail system
-
-** The Mail sources
-
-	The mail system will support 4 sources of mail:
-
-		POP3 (transfer to a local file).
-		IMAP
-		Local mbox format in $MAIL.
-		Local mbox format that have other delivery points.
-
-	On top of that, it will be possible to browse existing mbox
-	archives (and possibly other formats in the future, like
-	Mailbox and Maildir).
-
-** Storing the mail
-
-	Mail that gets incorporated into the system is stored in mbox
-	format, and summary files are provided for quick access to the
-	files.  No modifications to the file on disk is performed (I
-	am not quite sure about this, perhaps we want to add the
-	status flags and some method for adding metadata to the mail).
-
-	Summary files are rebuilt on demand or rebuild if the mbox
-	file and the summary file have got out of sync.
-
-	A Metadata system that will enable us to attach information to
-	a message will have to be designed and implemented (enabling
-	users to add annotations to mails, and special keywords and
-	flags in a per-message fashion).
-
-** Folders
-
-	Michael Zucchi is working on a system that will let users
-	easily define rules for splitting their incoming mail into
-	physical folders.  
-
-	A further refinement to Folders are Virtual Folders.  This
-	basically provides a powerful search and viewing facility for
-	mail.  It works like this: when a mail is "incorporated" into
-	Evolution it is scanned and indexed.
-
-	Then users can enter queries into Evolution that will search
-	the entire database of messages.	
-
-** Virtual folders
-
-	Virtual folders will enable users to read/browse their mail in
-	new ways: by specifying search criterias, these folders will
-	contain messages that match the criteria given.  
-
-	There is more information about this in the libcamel
-	directory. 
-
-	We will index all headers from a message, and possible the
-	contents of messages and keep those on a separate file, to
-	enable users to query their mail database.
-
-** Mail summary display
-
-	The summary will be displayed using the ETable package, to
-	enable users to add a number of sorting criteria and various
-	display methods for the summary view.
-
-	The Outlook methods for displaying will be present on the
-	system.
-
-	Message threading will be supported in Evolution.
-
-** Message display engine
-
-	We are going to be using a combination of
-	libcamel/limime/libjamie to parse messages and render them
-	into an HTML buffer.
-
-* The HTML engine
-
-	The GtkHTML engine will be used to display messages, and will
-	be extended to support a number of features that we require:
-	internal handling of characters will be based on Unicode
-
-* The message composer
-
-	Regular features found in composers will be added: connecting
-	the composer to the address book, support for drag and drop
-	for including attachments, editing the message, archiving
-	drafts and archiving messages sent.
-
-	Ettore has been working on adding editing support to the
-	GtkHTML and he is working currently on a Bonobo component that
-	will provide a ready-to-use Bonobo control for embedding into
-	other applications.

- - - &Evolution; Calendaring Framework - - - - Federico - Mena Quintero - -
- federico@helixcode.com -
-
-
-
- - - 2000 - Helix Code, Inc. - - - - - The &Evolution; groupware suite provides a framework for - developing calendaring applications, as well as a graphical - calendar client and a personal calendar server. This white - paper describes the architecture of the &Evolution; - calendaring framework. - - -
- - - - - Introduction - - - Calendaring is an important part of a groupware suite. A - calendaring framework will allow a user to keep a personal - calendar and have several applications use it. Such - applications could be a graphical calendar client that the user - employs to schedule appointments and keep track of his time, a - Palm Pilot synchronization client, or - a simple alarm or reminder utility. A comprehensive calendaring - framework will also allow multiple users to schedule - appointments between each other; for example, a project director - may want to schedule a weekly meeting with the rest of the - project members, or a person who owns a large house may want to - schedule a big party with his friends. The attendees will then - want to reply with messages such as, “I will - attend”, or “I will attend only if the proposed time - is changed”. - - - - The &Evolution; groupware suite provides a framework for - developing calendaring applications, as well as a graphical - calendar client or calendar user agent (&CUA;) and a personal - calendar server (&PCS;). - - - - The following sections explain the basic calendaring framework, - the functions of the calendar user agent and the personal - calendar server, and the relationship between the two. - - - - - - - Personal Calendar Server - - - The personal calendar server (&PCS;) provides centralized - management and storage of a user's personal calendar. Multiple - clients can connect to the &PCS; simultaneously to query and - modify the user's calendar in a synchronized fashion. The main - features of the &PCS; are as follows: - - - - Storage - - - The &PCS; is responsible for loading and saving calendars. - Centralizing the loading and saving functionality allows - multiple clients to use the same calendar at the same time - without having to worry about each other. - - - - - Basic Queries - - - The &PCS; provides functions to do basic queries on a - calendar, for example, a client can ask the server for a list - of all the appointments in the calendar, or for all the data - for a specific appointment. - - - - - Recurrence and Alarm Queries - - - Clients can ask the &PCS; for a list of the appointments that - occur within a specified time range; for example a graphical - client that has a per-week view could ask the &PCS; for all - the appointments that occur in a particular week. This - includes multiple occurrences of a single recurring event; for - example, the object for “a 1-hour meeting that occurs on - every Tuesday and Thursday” is represented inside the - &PCS; as a single event with a recurrence rule. Similarly, - clients can ask the &PCS; for a list of events that have - alarms that trigger within a specified time range. - - - - - Notification of Changes - - - This is the most important function of the &PCS;, as it allows - multiple calendar clients to maintain a unified view of the - calendar between the server and themselves. When a client - asks the &PCS; to modify or remove an event, the &PCS; - notifies all the clients that are connected to it about the - change. The policy is that “the server is always - right”; clients can act as dumb views onto the - calendar's data and they will be notified by the &PCS; when - something changes. - - - - - - - - Calendar User Agent - - - A calendar user agent (&CUA;) is a program that lets a user - manipulate a calendar. &Evolution; provides an attractive, - graphical calendar client that communicates with the &Evolution; - personal calendar server. - - - - The &Evolution; calendar client just provides a view onto the - data that is stored and managed by the personal calendar server. - The calendar client does not perform direct manipulations on a - calendar's data; instead it offloads those requests to the - calendar server, which takes care of making the appropriate - modifications in the calendar and then notifies all the clients - about the changes. - - - - - - - Calendar Client Library - - - Communication between the personal calendar server and calendar - clients is defined by a set of &Bonobo; &CORBA; interfaces. - Clients can be written by implementing the client-side - Listener interface, which defines the - notification callbacks that the PCS uses to inform clients about - changes to the calendar. - - - - As a convenience for >K; programmers, &Evolution; also - includes a library which provides a - CalClient class which can be used for - communication with the personal calendar server. Objects of - this class automatically contact the PCS when they are created. - CalClient provides functions to request - changes in the calendar, and it also emits signals when it gets - notification about changes from the PCS. This makes it easy and - convenient to write calendar clients for &Evolution; using - >K;. - - - - The implementation of the CalClient class - simply wraps the &Evolution; &CORBA; interfaces for calendaring - with a familiar-looking >K; object. Calls to the - Listener interface get translated to - signal emissions from the CalClient, thus - shielding programmers from the details of the &CORBA; - interfaces. - - -

- - - Introduction - - - &Camel; is a generic messaging library. It is being used as the - back end for the mail component of &Evolution;. The name - "&Camel;" is an acronym; it refers to the fact that the - library is capable of going several days without food or water. - It means : Camel's Acronym Makes Everyone Laugh. - - - - &Camel;'s initial design is heavily based on Sun's - JavaMail API. It uses the Gtk+ object - system, and many of its classes are direct analags of JavaMail - classes. Its design has also been influenced by the features of - IMAP, and the limitations of the standard UNIX mbox mail store, - which set some of the boundaries on its requirements and - extensibility. - - - - &Camel; sees all message repositories as stores containing - folders. These folders in turn contain the messages the client - actually accesses. The use of such a unified interface allows - the client applications to be very extensible. &Camel; includes - an external provider mechanism which allows applications to - dynamically load and use protocols which were not available when - the application was initially written. - - - - The abstract store/folder mechanism is a powerful and versatile - way of accessing messages. No particular asumptions are made on - the client side, thus allowing new ways of managing the - messages. For example, the messages stored in the folders don't - necessarily have to share some common physical location. The - folder can be a purely virtual folder, containing only - references to the actual messages. This is used by the "vFolder" - provider, which allows you select messages meeting particular - criteria and deal with them as a group. - - - - In addition to these possibilities, &Camel; has full MIME - support. &Camel; MIME messages are lightweight objects - representing the MIME skeleton of the actual message. The data - contained in the subparts are never stored in memory except when - they are actually needed. The application, when accessing the - various MIME objects contained in the message (text parts, - attachments, embedded binary objects ...) asks &Camel; for a - stream that it can read data from. This scheme is particularly - useful with the IMAP provider. IMAP has strong MIME support - built-in, which allows &Camel; to download only the parts of - messages that it actually needs: attachments need not be - downloaded until they are viewed, and unnecessary - "multipart/alternative" parts will never be read off the server. - - - - - Overview - - - - - To begin using &Camel;, an application first creates a - CamelSession object. This object is used - to store application defaults, and to coordinate communication - between providers and the application. - - - - A CamelProvider is a dynamically-loadable - module that provides functionality associated with a specific - service. Examples of providers are IMAP and SMTP. Providers - include subclasses of the various other &Camel; classes for - accessing and manipulating messages. - - - - CamelService is an abstract class for - describing a connection to a local or remote service. It - currently has two subclasses: CamelStore, - for services that store messages (such as IMAP servers and mbox - files), and CamelTransport, for services - that deliver messages (such as SMTP, or a local MTA). A provider - could also be both a store and a transport, as in the case of - NNTP. - - - - A CamelStore contains some number of - CamelFolder objects, which in turn - contain messages. A CamelFolder provides - a CamelFolderSummary object, which - includes details about the subject, date, and sender of each - message in the folder. The folder also includes the messages - themselves, as subclasses of CamelMedium. - - - - Email messages are represented by the - CamelMimeMessage class, a subclass of - CamelMedium. This class includes - operations for accessing RFC822 and MIME headers, accessing - subparts of MIME messages, encoding and decoding Base64 and - Quoted-Printable, etc. - - - - CamelTransport includes methods for - delivering messages. While the abstract - CamelTransport::send method takes a - CamelMedium, its subclasses may only be - able to deliver messages of specific - CamelMedium subclasses. For instance, - CamelSendmailTransport requires a - CamelMimeMessage, because it needs a - message that includes a "To:" header. A hypothetical - CamelNNTPTransport would need a - CamelNewsMessage, which would have a - "Newsgroups:" header. - - - - The content of messages are referred to using - CamelStream and its subclasses. In the - case of an mbox-based store, the - CamelStream would abstract the operation - of reading the correct section of the mbox file. For IMAP, - reading off the CamelStream might result - in commands being issued to the remote IMAP server and data - being read off a socket. - - - - The final major class in &Camel; is - CamelException, which is used to - propagate information about errors. Many methods take a - CamelException as an argument, which the - caller can then check if an error occurs. It includes both a - numeric error code which can be interpreted by the program, and - a text error message that can be displayed to the user. - - - - - Major Subcomponents - - - The Message Store - - - A CamelStore inherits the ability to - connect and authenticate to a service from its parent class, - CamelService. It then adds the ability - to retrieve folders. A store must contain at least one folder, - which can be retrieved with - CamelStore::get_default_folder. There are - also methods to retrieve the "top-level" folder (for - hieararchical stores), and to retrieve an arbitrary folder by - name. - - - - All CamelFolders must implement certain - core operations, most notably generating a summary and - retrieving and deleting messages. A - CamelFolder must assign a permanently - unique identifier to each message it contains. Messages can - then be retrieved via - CamelFolder::get_message_by_uid. Alternately, - within a single mail-reading session, messages can be referred - to by their linear position within the store using - CamelFolder::get_message_by_number. - - - - Folders must also implement the - get_parent_folder and - list_subfolders methods. For stores that - don't allow multiple folders, they would return NULL and an - empty list, respectively. Stores that do allow multiple - folders will also define methods for creating and deleting - folders, and for moving messages between them (assuming the - folders are writable). - - - - Folders that support searching can define the - search_by_expression method. For mbox - folders, this is implemented by indexing the messages with the - ibex library and using that to search them later. For IMAP - folders, this uses the IMAP SEARCH command. Other folder types - might not be able to implement this functionality, in which - case users would not be able to do full-content searches on - them. - - - - - Messages - - - As mentioned before, messages are represented by subclasses of - CamelMedium. - CamelMedium itself is a subclass of - CamelDataWrapper, a generic class for - connecting a typed data source to a data sink. - CamelMedium adds the concept of message - headers versus message body. - (CamelDataWrapper has one other - important subclass, CamelMultipart, - which is used to provide separate access to the multiple - independent parts of a multipart MIME type.) - CamelMedium's subclasses provide more - specialized handling of various headers: - CamelMimePart adds special handling for - the &ldquot;Content-*&rdquot; headers in MIME messages, and - its subclass CamelMimeMessage adds - handling for the RFC822 headers. - - - - - - Consider a message with two parts: a text part (in both plain - text and HTML), and an attached image: - - - - From: Dan Winship <danw@helixcode.com> - To: Matt Loper <matt@helixcode.com> - Subject: the Camel white paper - MIME-Version: 1.0 - Content-Type: multipart/mixed; - boundary="jhTYrnsRrdhDFGa" - - This is a multi-part message in MIME format. - --jhTYrnsRrdhDFGa - Content-Type: multipart/alternative; - boundary="sFSenbAFDSgDfg" - - --sFSenbAFDSgDfg - Content-Type: text/plain - - Hey, Matt - - Check out this graphic... - - -- Dan - - --sFSenbAFDSgDfg - Content-Type: text/html - - Hey, Matt<br> - <br> - Check out this graphic...<br> - <br> - -- Dan<br> - <br> - --sFSenbAFDSgDfg-- - - --jhTYrnsRrdhDFGa - Content-Type: image/png - Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 - - F4JLw0ORrkRa8AwAMQJLAaI3UDIGsco9RAaB92... - --jhTYrnsRrdhDFGa-- - - - - In &Camel;, this would be represented as follows: - - - - - - - Streams - - - Streams are a generic data transport layer. Two basic stream - classes are CamelStreamFs, for - reading and writing files, and - CamelStreamMem, for reading from and - writing to objects that are already in memory. - - - - Streams can also be chained together. So a CamelMimePart - containing base64-encoded data can filter its output through - a CamelStreamB64. Other parts of the application that want - to read its data will never need to even realize that the - original data was encoded. - - - -

- - - Introduction - - - &Ibex; is a library for text indexing. It is being used by - &Camel; to allow it to quickly search locally-stored messages, - either because the user is looking for a specific piece of text, - or because the application is contructing a vFolder or filtering - incoming mail. - - - - - Design Goals and Requirements for Ibex - - - The design of &Ibex; is based on a number of requirements. - - - - - First, obviously, it must be fast. In particular, searching - the index must be appreciably faster than searching through - the messages themselves, and constructing and maintaining - the index must not take a noticeable amount of time. - - - - - - The indexes must not take up too much space. Many users have - limited filesystem quotas on the systems where they read - their mail, and even users who read mail on private machines - have to worry about running out of space on their disks. The - indexes should be able to do their job without taking up so - much space that the user decides he would be better off - without them. - - - - Another aspect of this problem is that the system as a whole - must be clever about what it does and does not index: - accidentally indexing a "text" mail message containing - uuencoded, BinHexed, or PGP-encrypted data will drastically - affect the size of the index file. Either the caller or the - indexer itself has to avoid trying to index these sorts of - things. - - - - - - The indexing system must allow data to be added to the index - incrementally, so that new messages can be added to the - index (and deleted messages can be removed from it) without - having to re-scan all existing messages. - - - - - - It must allow the calling application to explain the - structure of the data however it wants to, rather than - requiring that the unit of indexing be individual files. - This way, &Camel; can index a single mbox-format file and - treat it as multiple messages. - - - - - - It must support non-ASCII text, given that many people send - and receive non-English email, and even people who only - speak English may receive email from people whose names - cannot be written in the US-ASCII character set. - - - - - - While there are a number of existing indexing systems, none of - them met all (or even most) of our requirements. - - - - - The Implementation - - - &Ibex; is still young, and many of the details of the current - implementation are not yet finalized. - - - - With the current index file format, 13 megabytes of Info files - can be indexed into a 371 kilobyte index file—a bit under - 3% of the original size. This is reasonable, but making it - smaller would be nice. (The file format includes some simple - compression, but gzip can compress an - index file to about half its size, so we can clearly do better.) - - - - The implementation has been profiled and optimized for speed to - some degree. But, it has so far only been run on a 500MHz - Pentium III system with very fast disks, so we have no solid - benchmarks. - - - - Further optimization (of both the file format and the in-memory - data structures) awaits seeing how the library is most easily - used by &Evolution;: if the indexes are likely to be kept in - memory for long periods of time, the in-memory data structures - need to be kept small, but the reading and writing operations - can be slow. On the other hand, if the indexes will only be - opened when they are needed, reading and writing must be fast, - and memory usage is less critical. - - - - Of course, to be useful for other applications that have - indexing needs, the library should provide several options, so - that each application can use the library in the way that is - most suited for its needs. - - -

- - - Introduction - - - &ETable; is a table widget on steroids. It is intended to provide - all the table functionality needed throughout &Evolution;, and - hopefully be general purpose enough to be used in other projects. - - - - &ETable; provides a lot of interactive control over the data in the - table. Without any work from the programmer, &ETable; provides - rearrangeable columns and editable data. When finished, &ETable; will - also provide, again with no programmer intervention, easy interactive - sorting and grouping. - - - - &ETable; gives you a great deal of functionality, flexibility, and - power. Most of this power is internal to the widget, but some of - the flexibility requires a bit of work by the programmer. - However, once you learn it, &ETable; is not very hard at all to - use. - - - - &ETable;'s power comes from the fact that it is fully - model/view/controller based. Various models are involved into - the process of rendering the information, and various views are - provided. The programmer has a wide range of options: from the - most finely hand-tuned table to a generic all-encompasing widget - that takes over most of tasks. It is up to the programmer: he - can use the simple to use &ETable; widget that takes care of - everything in a generic way, or he can use the various - components to roll his own tabular display. - - - - &ETable; ships with a standard set of information renderers: - strings, bitmaps, toggle-buttons, check-boxes, and multi-line - strings. But the programmer can write and implement his own - renderer for his information. This means that by default - &ETable; provides the basic display facilities that programmers - required, but they offer the programmer a complete freedom to - incorporate new cell renderers. - - - - - - ETableModel - - - The data back end for the &ETable; is an &ETableModel;. The - &ETableModel is an abstract interface that acts as the - information repository for the various &ETable components. - - - - To use &ETable; you have to create a subclass of the abstract - &ETableModel; class. However, to save you the work of defining - a new GtkClass every time you use - &ETable, there is a predefined subclass of &ETableModel; called - &ETableSimple; which simply takes a list of function callbacks - to perform the various operations. - - - - - - Columns - - - There are two different meanings to the word "column". The first - is the model column (defined by the &ETableCol: object). A model - column describes how it maps to the column in the &ETableModel; - as well as containing information about its properties (name, - resizability, resize dimensions, and a renderer for this - specific columns). - - - - &ETable; distinguishes between a model column index, and a view - column index. The former reflects the column in which the data - is stored in the &ETableModel; The later represents the actual - location at which the column is being displayed in the screen. - - - - Each view column index corresponds to a specific model column, - though a model column may have any number of view columns - associated with it (including zero). For example the same - column might be rendered twice, or the data from one column - could be used to display different bits of information - - - - The view column does not necessarily depend on only one model - column. In some cases, the view column renderer can be given a - reference to another model column to get extra information about - its display. For example, a mail program could display deleted - messages with a line through them by creating a model column - with no corresponding view column that told whether or not the - message is deleted, and then having the text column - strikethrough the display if the invisible column had a value - corresponding to "deleted". - - - - The view column also specifies a few other pieces of - information. One piece of information is the renderer. &ETable; - provides a number of renderers to choose from, or you can write - your own. Currently, there are renderers for text, image sets, - and checkboxes. - - - - The view column also includes information about the header. - There are two types of headers: text, and pixbuf. The first - allows you to specify a string which is rendered in the header. - The second allows you to specify an image to copy into the - header. - - - - - Header - - - The &ETableHeader; represents the header information for the - table. The &ETableHeader; is used in two different ways. The - first is the in the full_header - element of an &ETable;. This is the list of possible columns in - the view. You add each of your columns to this &ETableHeader; - and then pass it into the &ETable;. - - - - The second use is completely internal. &ETable; uses another - &ETableHeader; to store the actual displayed columns. Many of - the &ETableHeader; functions are for this purpose. The only - functions that users of the library should need to use are - e_table_header_new and - e_table_header_add_col. - - - - - Layout Specification - - - &ETable; uses an &ETableSpecification; to layout the columns of - the widget. The &ETableSpecification; is specified as XML data - passed into the &ETable; as a string. - - - - The most powerful part of the &ETableSpecification; is that when - finished, &ETable; will allow you to get a copy of an - &ETableSpecification; that describes the current view of the - tree. This allows the developer to save the current view so that - next time the user opens this table, they find it in exactly the - state that they left it. - - - - The XML specification allows for a number of things. First, it - allows you to pick a set of default columns to be shown. Thus, - even if you had hundreds of pieces of data, you could choose to - only display a few that fit on the screen by default. - - - - The second major thing that the &ETableSpecification; allows you - to specify is the column grouping and sorting. &ETable; has a - powerful mechanism for allowing the user to choose columns to - group by, thus allowing multiple columns of sorting, as well as - visual grouping of similar elements and interactive selection of - what data to display. - - - - The grouping in &ETableSpecification; is specified as a - hierarchy of columns to group by. Each level of the hierarchy - lets you sort by a particular column, either ascending or - descending. All levels except the last cause the canvas to group - by the given column. - - - - An example &ETableSpecification; follows. - - - - <ETableSpecification> - <columns-shown frozen_columns="2"> - <column> 0 </column> - <column> 1 </column> - <column> 2 </column> - <column> 3 </column> - <column> 4 </column> - </columns-shown> - <grouping> - <group column="3" ascending="1"> - <group column="4" ascending="0"> - <leaf column="2" ascending="1"/> - </group> - </group> - </grouping> - </ETableSpecification> - - - - This example has 5 columns which are initially in order. It has - 2 levels of grouping. The first is grouped by the 4th column - (all indexes are 0 based) and sorts those groups in ascending - order. Inside those groups, the data is grouped by the fifth - column and sorted in descending order of the fifth column. - Finally, the data in those groups is sorted by the third column - in ascending order. Due to the "frozen_columns" attribute on the - columns-shown element, the user will not be - able to rearrange the first two columns. They will always be the - first two. - - - - - Conclusion - - - All in all, &ETable; is a very powerful widget. Once you learn - to use it, you have access to a vast amount of power requiring a - comparatively small amount of work. - - -
