The goal of - Novell Evolution is to make the - tasks of storing, organizing, and retrieving your personal - information easier, so you can work and communicate with - others. That is, it's a highly evolved groupware program, an integral - part of the Internet-connected desktop. - - - Novell Evolution can help you work in a group by handling - email, address and other contact information, and one or more - calendars. It can do that on one or several computers, - connected directly or over a network, for one person or for - large groups. - - - - With Novell Evolution, you can - accomplish your most common daily tasks faster. For example, it - takes only one or two clicks to enter appointment or - contact information sent to you by email, or to send email to a contact - or appointment. Novell 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. - - - - - The First Time you Start Novell Evolution - - To start Novell Evolution, do either - of the following: - - - - Select Programs - Evolution from your - menu panel. - - - - - - Type evolution at the command line. - - - - - - - - Command Line Options - - Evolution has a number of command-line options that you may - wish to make use of. You can find the full list by running - the commands man evolution or - evolution --help. The most - important ones are: - - - - To start Evolution in offline mode: evolution --offline - - - - - - To start Evolution and begin composing a message to the email address you name: evolution mailto:joe@somewhere.net - - - - - - To start Evolution in mail mode, type evolution -c - mail. To open the calendar first, use - -c calendar. To open the contact list - first, use -c contacts. - - - - - - If Evolution stops responding, freezes, or hangs, open a - terminal and type evolution - --force-shutdown to force every piece of the - application to quit. - - - - - To make your web browser use Evolution as the default - email client, enter evolution "%s" as the email - handler in your web browser or in the GNOME Control Center. - - - - - - - - The first time you run the program, it will create a directory - called .evolution in your home directory, - where it will store all of its local data. Then, it will open a - first-run assistant to help you set up mail accounts and import - data from other applications. - - - Using the first-run assistant will take approximately two to - five minutes. - - - Later on, if you want to change this account, or - if you want to create a new one, select - Tools Settings - and click the Mail - Accounts button. Then, select the account you want - to change and click Edit. Alternately, - add a new account by clicking - Add. See for details. - - - - Defining Your Identity - - The Identity window is the first step in the assistant. Here, - you will enter some basic personal information.

Ask - your system administrator if you're not - sure. - - - - The username for the account on that - system. - - - - Whether you want to use a secure (SSL) - connection. If your server supports it, it's - best to enable this security option. - - - - - The authentication options supported by - your server. If you're not sure, ask your system - administrator. You can also click the - Check for supported types - button; when you have done so, the menu will - limit itself to options your server has not - refused to support. Note that some servers do - not announce the authentication mechanisms - they support, so clicking this button is not - an absolute guarantee that available - mechanisms will actually work. - - - - - Choose whether you'd like Evolution to remember - your password. If you have selected this item, - you can force Evolution to ask for a - password again by selecting - ActionsForget - Passwords, or by returning to this section of the - accounts tool, which you can find by selecting - ToolsSettings - - - - - - Connecting to an Exchange Server - - If you have installed Novell Connector for Microsoft - Exchange, you can access Microsoft Exchange 2000 servers - natively.

A maximum number of - results limits the load on your system and on your - network. - - - - - Mailbox Name: If your active directory user name is - different from your Exchange mailbox name, enter the - mailbox name here. - - - - - Outlook Web Access (OWA) Path: In most cases, the URL - for web access is "http://server.company.com/exchange," - but some systems use a different path. - - - - Public Folder Server: Enter the name of your organization's public folder server, if any. - - - - Apply filters to new messages in Inbox on this - server: Check this box to use filters when you visit the - Inbox for this account. - - - - - - - - If you chose IMAP: - - - - - - - Automatically check for new mail - every... minutes: If you would like Evolution to check - for new mail automatically, check the box and select a - frequency in minutes. - - - - - Check for new messages in all - folders: If you want Evolution to check for new - messages in all your - IMAP folders, make sure this box is selected. This option - is normally selected in combination with server-side - filtering tools like procmail. - - - - - Use custom command to connect to - server: Some IMAP servers require a specific, - custom connection sequence. Custom commands are rare; if - your server requires one, your system administrator - should be able to tell you. - - - - Show only subscribed folders: - Check this box if you have more folders in your IMAP view - than you want to read. For more information about IMAP - mail and folder subscriptions, see . - - - - - Override server-supplied namespace: - If you like, enter a specific directory where your - server stores mail for you. The most common values are - "mail" and "Mail." - - - - Apply filters to new messages in INBOX on this - server: If you'd like your filters to work on this account - as well as on locally downloaded mail, check this box. - - - - Check new messages for Junk - contents: Check this box if you want your IMAP - email filtered for junk mail. - - - - - Only check for Junk messages in the INBOX - folder: If you have new messages arriving in - multiple folders, as you would with server-side filters, - Evolution may filter them for junk mail as well. This - can take extra time, so if you know that those messages - are not likely to be junk mail, select this option. - - - - - Automatically synchronize remote mail - locally: Select this option to have Evolution - cache mail locally for offline use. - - - - - - - - - - What's an IMAP Namespace? - - For IMAP mail servers, your system administrator - may provide you with a specific namespace, the - directory where your server stores mail for - you. If you check your IMAP mail and your folder - list includes files that don't look like mail -folders, you - probably need to change your mail - namespace. Typical values are "mail" and "Mail." - If you prefer, you can choose to subscribe to - individual mail folders one at a time. For more - information about how to use IMAP mail, see . - - - - - - - Sending Mail - - Now that you have entered information about how you plan to - get mail, Evolution needs to know about how you want to send - it: - - - - Server Type: There are numerous server types that - Novell Evolution supports for sending your - mail. - - - - SMTP: Sends mail using an outbound mail - server. This is the most common choice for sending - mail. - - - - - Microsoft Exchange: Sends mail through a Microsoft - Exchange server using the Microsoft Exchange 2000 - protocol. Available only if you have are using the - Novell Connector for Microsoft Exchange, which is installed - separately. - - - - - - Groupwise: Sends mail through your GroupWise server. - - - - - - Sendmail: Uses the Sendmail program to send mail - from your system. Sendmail is more flexible, but - is not as easy to configure, so you should only - select this option if you know how to set up a - Sendmail service. - - - - - - - - - If you choose SMTP, there are a few additional items to enter: - - - - Host: enter your mail sending server's name or IP - address. - - - - - Server requires authentication: If your server - requires you to enter a password to send mail, check - this box. - - - - - Authentication Type: Unless you've been told otherwise, - your best bet is to leave this set at - Password. If you're not sure, ask - your system administrator or ISP, or have - Novell Evolution check for - you by clicking Check for supported - types. - - - - - Username: The account name you use when you login to - check your email. Normally, this is the part of your - email address before the '@' character. For Exchange - servers, it is the username you would use to log in to a - Windows workstation at your company. - - - - - Remember Password: If you prefer to not enter - your password every time you check email, press this - button. - - - - - - - - Defaults - - - In this step, you will set a few miscellaneous options: - - - - - - Drafts Folder: When you save a message as a draft, it will be saved to this folder. - - - - - Sent Messages Folder: A copy of every message you send will be saved in this folder. - - - - - Always carbon-copy (cc) to: Send a carbon copy of every message to this address. - - - - - Always blind carbon-copy (bcc) to: Send a blind carbon copy of every message to this address. - - - - - - If you have not done so already, you may also be asked to choose - a time zone. - - - - - Importing Mail (Optional) - If Novell Evolution finds mail or - address files from another application, it will offer to - import them. For a full description of the import feature, see . - - - - Microsoft Outlook, and versions of - Outlook Express after - version 4, use proprietary formats that Novell - Evolution cannot read or import. To import information, you - may wish to use the Outport tool under - Windows. See the instructions in . - - - - Before importing mail from Netscape, make sure you have selected - FileCompact All - Folders. If you don't, - Novell Evolution will import and undelete - the messages in your Trash folders. - - - - Exporting Files From Novell Evolution - - Evolution uses standard file types for mail and calendar - information, so you can copy those files from your - ~/.evolution directory. - The file formats used are mbox for - mail and iCal for calendar - information. - - - Contacts files are stored in a database, but can be saved as - a standard VCard. To export contact - data, open your contacts tool and select the contacts you wish - to export (press Ctrl - A to select them all). Then, - select FileSave as - VCard. - - - - - - - - - - What's What in Novell Evolution - - Now that you've gotten the first-run configuration out of the - way, you're ready to get down to work. Here's a quick - explanation of what's going on in your main - Novell Evolution window. - - -
- The Novell Evolution Main Window - - Inbox - - - - - - -
- - - - - - Menu Bar - - - - The menu bar gives you access to nearly all - the features that can be found in Novell - Evolution. - - - - - Toolbar - - - - The Toolbar gives you fast and easy access to the - most used features in each component. - - - - - Shortcut Bar - - - - The Shortcut Bar lets you switch between - folders and between Evolution tools. At the bottom of the - shortcut bar there are buttons that let you switch tools, and - above that, all the available folders for the current tool. If you have the - Evolution Connector for Microsoft Exchange installed, you will have an - Exchange button in addition to buttons for the other tools. - - - - - Status Bar - - - - Periodically, Novell Evolution will need to quietly - display a message, or tell you the progress of a task. This most - often happens when you're checking or sending email. These progress - queues are shown here, in the Status Bar. - The Online/Offline indicator is here, too, in the lower left of the window. - - - - - Search Tool - - - - The Search Tool lets you search through your email - with precision so you can easily find what you're looking for. - - - - The Shortcut Bar - - Novell Evolution's most important job is - to give you access to your information and help you use it - quickly. One way it does that is through the - shortcut bar, the column on the left - hand side of the main window. The buttons with names - like Mail and - Contacts are the shortcuts. Above them - is a list of folders for the current Evolution tool. - - - The folder list organizes your mail, calendars, contact lists, - and task lists in a tree, similar to a file - tree. Most people will find one to four - folders at the base of the tree, depending on the tool and their - system configuration. Each Evolution tool will have at least one, - called On This Computer, for local - information. For example, the folder list for the email tool will show any - remote mail storage you have set up, plus local folders and - vFolders, or virtual folders, discussed in . - - - - If you get large volumes of mail, you'll want more folders than - just your Inbox; you can also create multiple calendar, task, - or contacts folders. - - - To create a new folder: - - - - Right click on the list of folders, and select - New Folder. - - - - - - Enter the name of the folder in the Folder - Name field. - - - - - - Choose the location of the new folder. - - - - - - - Folder Arrangement and Subfolders - - - Right-clicking will bring up a menu for just about anything in - Novell Evolution. If you right-click on a - folder or subfolder, you'll have a menu with the following options: - - Copy, to copy the folder to another place. When you select this item, Evolution offers a choice of locations to copy to. - Move, to move the folder to another location. - Delete, to delete the folder and all its contents. - New Folder, to create another folder in the same location. - Rename, to change the name of the folder. - Delete, to delete the folder. - Properties, to check the number of total and unread messages in a folder, and, for remote folders, decide whether to copy the folder to your local system for offline operation. - - - - You can also rearrange folders and messages by dragging and - dropping them. - - - - Any time new mail arrives in a mail folder, that folder - label is displayed in bold text, along with the number of - new messages in that folder. - - - - - - The Menu Bar - - The menu bar's contents will always - provide all the possible actions for any given view of your - data. If you're looking at your Inbox, most of the menu items - will relate to mail; some will relate to other components of - Novell Evolution and some, especially those - in the File Menu will relate to the - application as a whole. - - - - - File: - - Anything related to a file or to the - operations of the application generally falls under this - menu: creating things, saving them to disk, printing them, - and quitting the program itself. - - - - Edit: - - The Edit menu holds - useful tools that help you edit text and move it around. - - - - - View: - - This menu lets you decide how Novell Evolution - should look. Some of the features control the appearance of - Novell Evolution as a whole, and others - the way a particular kind of information appears. - - - - - Actions: - - Holds actions which maybe applied to a message. Normally, - if there is only one target for the action, such as - replying to a message, you can find it in - the Actions menu. - - - - - Tools: - - For all components of Evolution, you can access the - settings and configuration options in the tools menu. You - can also find things like filter settings and the Virtual - Folder editor. - - - - Search: - - Select menu items here to search for messages, or for - phrases within a message. You can also see previous searches - you have made. In addition to the Search - menu, there is a text entry box in the toolbar that you can - use to search for messages. - - - - - Help: - - Select among these items to open the - Novell Evolution manual. - - - - - - - - - Introducing Email - - Novell Evolution email is like other - email programs in several ways: - - - - It can sort and organize your mail in a wide variety of - ways with folders, searches, and filters. - - - - - It can send and receive mail in HTML or as plain text, - and makes it easy to send and receive multiple file - attachments. - - - - - It supports multiple mail sources, including IMAP, POP3, and local - mbox or mh - spools and files created by other mail programs. - - - - - It lets you guard your privacy with encryption. - - - - - - However, Novell Evolution has some - important differences. First, it's built to handle very large - amounts of mail. The junk mail, message filtering and - searching - functions were built for speed and efficiency on large volumes - of mail. There's also the vFolder, an advanced - organizational feature not found in mainstream mail clients. - If you get a lot of mail, or if you keep every message you get - in case you need to refer to it later, you'll find this - feature especially useful. - - - - - - -
- Novell Evolution Mail - - Inbox - - - -
- - - - Message List - - - - The Message List displays all the emails - that you have. This includes all your read, unread, and email - that is flagged to be deleted. - - - - Email - - - - This is where your email is displayed. - - - - If you find the view pane too small, you can resize - the pane, enlarge the whole window, or double-click on the - message in the message list to have it - open in a new window. To change the sizes of a pane, just click - and hold on the divider between the two panes. Then you can drag - it to select the size of the panes. - - - - - Just like with folders, you can right-click on messages in the - message list and get a menu of possible actions, including moving or deleting them, - creating filters or vFolders based on them, and marking them as junk mail. - - - Most of the mail-related actions you'll want to perform are - listed in the Actions menu in the menu bar. - The most frequently used ones, like - Reply and - Forward, also appear as buttons in - the toolbar. Almost all of them are also located in the - right-click menu and as keyboard shortcuts, which tend to be - faster once you get the hang of them. You can choose - whichever way you like best; the idea is that the software - should work the way you want, rather than making you work the - way the it does. - - - - For an in-depth guide to the email capabilities of Novell - Evolution, read . - - - - Introducing the Calendar - - To begin using the calendar, click the - Calendar button in the shortcut - bar. By default, the calendar starts showing - today's schedule on a ruled background. At the upper right, - there's a monthly calendar you can use to switch days. Below - that, there's a Task pad, where you can - keep a list of tasks separate from your calendar appointments. - - -
- Novell Evolution Calendar View - - Novell Evolution Contact Manager Window - - - -
- - - - - - Appointment - List - - - - The appointment list displays all your scheduled appointments. - - - - - Task List - - - - Tasks are distinct from appointments in that they generally - don't have times associated with them. You can see a larger - view of your task list by clicking the - Tasks button in the shortcut bar. - - - - - Month Pane - - - - The month pane is a small view of a calendar month. - To display additional months, drag the column border to - the left. You can also select a range of days in the month - pane to get a custom range of days displayed in the - appointment list. - - - - For more information about the calendar - read . - - - - - Introducing the Contacts Tool - - The Novell Evolution contacts tool - can handle all of the functions of an address book, phone - book, or Rolodex. Of course, it's a lot easier to update - Evolution than it is to change an actual paper book, in part - because Evolution can synchronize with - PalmOS devices and use LDAP directories on a network. - - - Another advantage of the Novell Evolution - contacts tool is its integration with the rest of the - application. For example, you can right-click on an email - address in Evolution mail to create a contact entry instantly. - - - To use the contacts tool, click the - Contacts button in the shortcut bar. shows the address book in all its - organizational glory. By default, the display shows all - your contacts in alphabetical order, in a minicard view. You can select - other views from the View menu, and adjust - the width of the columns by clicking and dragging the gray - column dividers. - - - The contacts tool looks like this: - -
- Novell Evolution Contact Interface - - Novell Evolution Contact List Window - - - -
- - - Contact - List - - - - The largest section of the contacts display shows a list of individual - contacts. You can also search through the contacts in the same way - that you search email folders, with the search tool on the - right side of the toolbar. - - - - For detailed instructions on how to use the address book, - read . - - - - \ No newline at end of file -- cgit v1.2.3
