- 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 - lower. People who get lots of mail will appreciate - advanced features like vFolders, which - let you save searches as though they were ordinary mail - folders. - - -

- About This Book - - - This version of the Evolution - User's Guide is a draft. It is missing - huge chunks of information, and many of the features it - describes are unimplemented. All the content is subject to - change, especially if you help. Please send comments on the - guide to aaron@helixcode.com. Items that are - known to need action are indicated as such, often with - notation like (INSERT CONTENT HERE). If you would like to - work on the guide please contact me or see the GNOME - Documentation project web site. This - paragraph will be removed in later versions of the manual. - - - - - This book is divided into three sections. The first section is - a guided tour— it will - explain how to use Evolution. If - you are new to Evolution or to - groupware in general, this is the section for you. The second - section, covering configuration, - is targeted at advanced users and administrators. If you are - a network administrator, you may find yourself referring to - this section frequently. The third section is a quick developer's guide, for power users and - hackers. If you want to add advanced scripting to - Evolution, write your own - embeddable components, or simply want to find out just how - powerful Evolution can be, this is - the section for you. - - - Throughout the book, you'll find examples, tips and warnings - to help you along. Most of them are decent, hardworking - pieces of information, and genuinely try to be helpful. Some - of the tips, entitled Bad Ideas, - are, in fact, out to trick you. Please don't follow their - advice, no matter how appealing it may sound. - - - Typographical conventions - - Some kinds of words are marked off with special typography. - It's listed below: - - Applications - Commands typed at the command line - Labels for menu items and buttons - Other text treatments - Other text treatments - - - -
