- - - - - Identity Settings - - If you have only one email account, or send email from only - one address, you will only need to configure one identity. If - you want, however, you can have multiple identities. This - can be useful if you want to keep personal and professional - email separate, or if you wear several hats at work. - - - - To add a new identity, simply click - Add. To alter an existing identity, - click on it in the Identity tab of the - Preferences window, and then click - Edit. - - - - Evolution will then present you - with a dialog box containing four fields: - - - - Full Name: by default, this is the - same name as the full name described in your user - account on your computer. You can select another if you - wish. - - - - - Email address: Enter your email - address in this space. - - - - - Organization: If you send email as - a representative of a company or other organization, - enter its name here. - - - - - Signature file: You may choose a - small text file to be appended to every message that you - send. Typically, signature files include address or - other contact information, or a favorite quotation. - It's good form to keep it to four lines at the maximum. - - - - - - - - Network Settings - - In order to send mail with - Evolution, you need to connect to - your network. To do that, you'll need to know your user name - and password, what sort of mail sending and receiving - protocols your network uses, and the names of the servers - you'll be using. If you're switching from another groupware - or email program, you can almost certainly use the same - settings as you did with that program. Network-related - settings are in the Mail Sources and - Mail Transport tabs. - - - - Mail Sources - - The Mail Sources tab allows you to - edit, add, or delete methods of retrieving mail from - servers. Clicking on Add or - Edit will bring up a dialog box to - offer you the following options: - - - Mail source type: - - - Select from IMAP or POP servers, or Unix-style - mbox - or mh - files. - - - - - Server: - - - Enter the name of the mail source server in this - field. If you use an may or may not be the same as your - SMTP server. - - - - - Username: - - - Enter the user name for the account you have on the - server-- this should the part of your email address - before the @. If you use - mbox - or mh - files as your mail source, you do not need to enter - a username. - - - - - Authentication: - - - Tell Evolution how to - verify your identity with the server. Your options - vary depending upon the type of server you are - using, and the ways it is configured. Given the - name of a server, - Evolution can detect what - sorts of authentication it offers. - - - - - Test Settings - - - Click this button to have - Evolution check to see if - mail sources are configured correctly. - - - - - - - If you have several mail sources, clicking Get - Mail will refresh any IMAP, - mh, or - mbox - listings and check and download mail from all POP servers. - In other words, Get Mail gets your - mail, no matter how many sources you have, or what types - they are. - - - - - Mail Transports - - The Mail Transports tab lets you set - how you will send mail. Evolution currently supports two - mail transport options: SMTP, which - uses a remote mail server, and - sendmail, which uses the - sendmail program on your local - system. Sendmail is more - difficult to configure, but offers more flexibility than - SMTP. - - - To use SMTP, you'll need to enter the - name of your SMTP server. It may have the same name as - your mail source server. - - - Evolution can attempt to - determine if you have entered a valid server name. To - have it do so, click the Test - Settings button. - - - - - News Servers - - Newsgroups are so much like mailing lists that there's no - reason not to keep them right next to your mail. When you - first select the News Servers tab, - you will see a blank box with the three familiar buttons - on the right: Add, - Edit, and - Delete. - - - Click Add to add a news server; you - will be prompted for its name. Enter the name, click - OK, and you're done. You can have - as many mail servers as you like, of course. News servers - will appear next to your IMAP servers in the - folder bar. - - - - - Other Mail Preferences - - Not everything fits neatly into categories. This tab - contains some miscellaneous configurations that don't have - too much to do with each other. - - - - - Send messages in HTML format - - - If you check this box, you will send - messages as HTML by default. If you leave it unchecked, your - messages will be sent without HTML formatting unless you select - Format HTML - in the message composer. - See - for more information about HTML mail. - - - - - Mark Messages as Seen After - - - When you click on a message, - Evolution will wait a - moment before marking it as seen. You can set the - delay, in milliseconds, here. - - - - - Folder Format - - By default, - Evolution saves its mail - in the - mbox - format. You can switch to the - mh - format if you like. Note that this is an advanced - feature and may cause you to lose some messages, so - you should probably make a backup of your - evolution - directory first. In addition, it will take quite - some time if you have a large mailbox. - - - - - - - - - Configuring the Calendar - - To set your calendar preferences, select - Settings - Calendar - Configuration from the Calendar - view. This will open up the - Preferences window. It contains four - tabs: Time display, - Colors, To Do List - and Alarms. The calendar - preferences window is illustrated in . - - -

Of course, you can - still schedule an appointment outside of these hours, - and if you do, the display will be extended to show - it. - - - - - - - - Calendar Colors - - The colors tab allows you to decide - what color your calendar will be. The tab consists of a - sample calendar on the right and a list of ten items that can - be colored in different ways.

If you leave this box - unchecked, Evolution will only - alert you to events by opening a dialog box. These beeps - are distinct from full-fledged audio alarms. - - - - Audio alarms timeout after: - Select this button to have your audio alarms stop - automatically after a certain number of seconds. - - - Enable snoozing for: If you - would like to have the option to tell - Evolution to repeat an alarm in - a few minutes, select this button and decide how long - you'd like it to wait. - - - - - - - - - - Managing the Contact Manager - - To set the behavior of your Contact Manager, click on the - Contact Manager tab in the - Preferences window. - - - You can set the following options: - - - - Adding Directory Servers - - To add a new LDAP server to your available contact - folders, select Actions - New Directory Server - .
