+ + + + +Free/Busy information + +

You can use the Free/Busy search for meetings to determine the availability of invitees.

+ + + +

In addition to the standard meeting scheduling tools, you can use the Free/Busy view to check whether people are available in advance. The Free/Busy feature is normally a function of dedicated groupware servers such as Microsoft Exchange and Novell GroupWise. However, you can also publish Free/Busy information online, and access Free/Busy information published elsewhere. If not everyone you collaborate with publishes Free/Busy data, you can still use meeting invitations to coordinate schedules with other people.

+ +

To access the free/busy view:

+ +

Click FileNewMeeting.

 +

Click Add to add the email addresses of people you want to invite.

 +

Click the Free/Busy button on the toolbar, or click OptionsFree/Busy.

 +

Adjust the meeting time, either by dragging the meeting borders or by using the Autopick buttons to choose a time automatically, then click Close. Attendees on an Exchange server have the appointment updated automatically; others receive email notification of any change in plans.

 + + + +

Attendee List:

The Attendee List shows the people who have been invited to the appointment.

 +

Schedule Grid:

The Schedule Grid shows the published Free/Busy information for the people you have invited. This is where you compare schedules to find free time to schedule the appointment. Individuals have visible scheduling information only if they use the same Novell GroupWise or Microsoft Exchange server you do (that is, if they are in the same organization as you), or if they publish free/busy information at a URL you can reach and you have entered that URL into their contact cards using the contact editor.

 + + +

You can publish Calendar and Free/Busy information to a WebDAV server, FTP server, a remote machine through SSH or to any other web server with HTTP PUT support.

+ +
+Accessing Free/Busy Data Without a Groupware Server + +

If individuals give you a URL for Free/Busy data or for their web calendar, you can add the URL under Personal InformationWeb Addresses in the Contact Editor. Then, when you schedule a meeting with them, Evolution looks up the schedule and displays it in the Free/Busy data.

In Evolution, a meeting can have only one organizer, and only the organizer can add participants to that meeting. Though it is possible to change the organizer of a meeting, this is not recommended as a means to invite additional participants to meetings. If you want to invite additional people to a meeting and are not that meeting's organizer, it is recommended that you forward the invitation message you received from the original meeting organiser to additional participants.

By default Evolution uses the system-wide time zone. This can be changed under EditPreferencesCalendar and TasksGeneralTimeTime zone.

If you deal a lot with people in another specific time zone you can display that second time zone in the day view of the calendar. You can set a second time zone under EditPreferencesCalendar and TasksGeneralTimeSecond zone.

You can also configure time zone information specific to each appointment. To do that, add a new or edit an existing appointment and click the globe button to customize the time zone that the time exists in. For example, if you live in New York but have a telephone meeting set for noon with someone in California, you need to make sure that your schedules are coordinated. Setting time zones on a per-appointment basis helps avoid that potential confusion.

+ + + + +Using several calendars + +

You can have multiple calendars and overlay them one over the next. For example, you might have a schedule of events for work, one for home, and one for your favorite sports team. The side bar lists those calendars, and you can select or deselect the boxes next to them to show and hide the appointments in your calendar view. By hiding and showing different sets of appointments, you can be sure to avoid conflicts, while keeping a minimum of clutter in your view.

+ +

Appointments for each calendar appear as a different color.

+ +

You can also use calendars that are not on your computer, such as on the internet or in a local network.

+ +

For example, the icalshare.com website has an extensive list of shared online calendars, including national and religious holidays, phases of the moon, sports, and local and regional events.

+ + + + +Adding LDAP access + +

The LDAP protocol was created to let users share contact information over a network by sharing access to a central directory. LDAP allows a company to maintain a shared set of contact information. Many companies keep a common LDAP address book for all their employees or for client contacts.

+ +
+Adding an LDAP address book + + +

Click FileNewAddress Book.

 +

In the General tab, select the type On LDAP Servers.

 +

Enter a name that you prefer.

 +

Enter the address of the server, the port number (the default number is 389) and whether you want to connect securely.

 +

Define the login method and your user name.

 +

Click Apply.

 +

In the Details tab you can define the following settings:

+ +

Search Base: The search base is the starting point for a directory search. Contact your system administrator for information about the correct settings.

 +

Search Scope: The search scope is the breadth of a given search. The following options are available:

+ +

One: Searches the Search Base and one entry below it.

 +

Sub: Searches the Search Base and all entries below it.

 + + +

Search Filter: The search filter can be set here for all the LDAP queries. For example:

+ +

ObjectClass=*: Lists all the objects from the server.

 +

ObjectClass=User: Lists only the users.

 +

Filter (|(ObjectClass=User)(ObjectClass=groupOfNames)): Retrieves the User and Contact List objects.

 +

(&(mail=*)(ObjectClass=*)): Lists the objects associated with the email addresses.

 + + +

Timeout (minutes): The maximum time Evolution attempts to download data from the server before giving up.

 +

Download Limit: The maximum number of results for a given search. Most servers refuse to send more than 500 contacts, but you can set the number lower if you want to shorten downloads for very broad searches.

 + + + + +

If you are unsure about some settings, ask your system administrator.

 + +
+ +
+Differences to local address books + +

LDAP address books work like local address books on your computer, with the following exceptions:

+ +

Network folders are only available when you are connected to the network. If you use a laptop or have a modem connection, you might want to copy or cache some of the network directory. You do this by dragging and dropping your desired contacts into the local address books.

 +

You can also mark the network folder for offline usage. To mark the folder, right-click the folder, click Properties and select Copy Folder Content Locally for Offline Operation.

 +

To prevent excess network traffic, Evolution does not normally load data from the LDAP server upon opening.

 +

Depending on your server settings, you might not be able to edit all the fields in a contact stored on an LDAP server. Some servers prohibit some or all changes, and others use a smaller set of fields than Evolution allows. Check with your system administrator if you need different settings.

+ + + + +Using Contact Lists + +

A contact list is a set of contacts with a single nickname that you create. When you send mail to this nickname it is actually sent to every member of the list. This differs from a "real" mailing list in that it exists only on your computer as a convenience to you, rather than as an actual email address managed by a mailing list application on a server.

+ +

For example, you could create one contact for each family member, then add those contacts to a contact list called "Family". Then, instead of entering each person's email address individually, you can send emails to "Family" and the messages would go to all of them.

+ +
+Creating a contact list + +

Click FileNewContact List.

 +

Enter a name that you prefer.

 +

Select the address book under Where: to which it will be added.

 +

Specify the list members by either entering the names or email addresses of contacts (the text field supports autocompletion), or by dragging contacts from the Contacts window into the list, or by using the Select... button.

 +

Choose whether you want to hide the email addresses when you send a message to the list.

Unless it is a very small list, it is recommended that you leave the addresses hidden. This is the same thing as using the “Bcc:” feature discussed in Sending a message to several recipients.

 +

Click OK.

 + + +

The contact list will be added to the chosen address book in Evolution.

+
+ +
+Sending messages to a contact list +

To send a message to the contact list, enter the name that you chose for the contact list as the recipient in the mail composer. You can also right-click the contact list in your address book and select Send Message to List.

- Using Evolution: An Overview - Now that the first-run configuration has finished, you're ready to begin using Evolution. Here's a quick explanation of what's happening in your main Evolution window. - - - Menu Bar: - The menu bar gives you access to most Evolution features. For additional information, see The Menu Bar. - - - Folder List: - The folder list gives you a list of the available folders for each account. To see the contents of a folder, click the folder name and the contents are displayed in the message list. - - - Toolbar: - The toolbar gives you fast and easy access to the frequently used features in each component. - - - Search Tool: - The search tool lets you search your email, contacts, calendar, and tasks to easily find what you're looking for. - - - Message List: - The message list displays all the read and unread messages that you have. To view an email in the preview pane, click the message in the message list. - - - Side Bar: - The side bar lets you switch between folders and between Evolution tools. At the bottom of the side bar is the switcher that lets you switch Evolution tools, and above that is a list of all the available folders for the current tool. For additional information, see The Side Bar. - - - Switcher: - The switcher at the bottom of the side bar lets you switch between the Evolution tools - Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Memos and Tasks. - - - Status Bar: - The status bar periodically displays a message, or tells you the progress of a task. This most often happens when you're checking or sending email. These progress queues are shown in the previous figure. The Online/Offline indicator is here, too, in the lower left of the window. - - - Preview Pane: - The preview pane displays the message that is currently chosen in the message list. - - -
- The Menu Bar - The menu bar's contents 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 relate to email. Some content relates to other components of Evolution and some, especially in the File menu, relates to the application as a whole. - - File: - Anything related to a file or to the operations of the application is listed in this menu, such as creating things, saving them to disk, printing them, and quitting the program itself. - - - Edit: - Holds useful tools that help you edit text and move it around.

You can also create a search folder from a search. - - - Help: - Opens the Evolution help files. - -
- -
- The Sidebar - The Sidebar is the vertical panel on the left side of the Evolution main window. At the bottom of the Sidebar is the Switcher. This lets you switch between different Evolution tools like Mail, Memo, Tasks, and Contacts. Above the Switcher is a list of folders related to the current Evolution tool. - The folder list organizes your email, calendars, address books, task lists and memo lists in a tree, similar to a file tree. Most people find one to four folders at the base of the tree, depending on the tool and their system configuration. Each Evolution tool has at least one folder, called On This Computer, for local information. For example, the folder list for the email tool shows any remote email storage you have set up, plus local folders and search folders, which are discussed in Using Search Folders. - If you get large amounts of email, you might want more folders than just your Inbox. You can also create multiple calendar, task, or contacts folders. - To create a new folder: - - - Click Folder > New. - - - Type the name of the folder in the Folder Name field. - - - Select the location of the new folder. - - - Click OK. - - - -

-
- -
- Email - Evolution email is like other email programs in several ways: - - - It can send and receive email in HTML or as plain text, and makes it easy to send and receive multiple file attachments. - - - It supports multiple email sources, including IMAP, POP3, and local mbox or MH spools and files created by other email programs. - - - It can sort and organize your email in a wide variety of ways with folders, searches, and filters. - - - It lets you guard your privacy with encryption. - - - However, Evolution has some important differences from other email programs. First, it is built to handle very large amounts of email. The junk email, message filtering and searching functions were built for speed and efficiency. There's also the search folder, an advanced organizational feature not found in some email clients. If you get a lot of email, or if you keep every message you get in case you need to refer to it later, you will find this feature especially useful. Here's a quick explanation of what's happening in your main Evolution email window. - - - Message List: - The message list displays all the read and unread messages that you have. To view an email in the preview pane, click the message in the message list. - - - Preview Pane: - The preview pane displays the message that is currently chosen in the message list. - - If you find the preview pane too small, you can resize the pane, enlarge the whole window, or double-click the message in the message list to have it open in a new window. To change the size of a pane, drag the divider between the two panes. - As with folders, you can right-click messages in the message list and get a menu of possible actions, including moving or deleting them, creating filters or search folders based on them, and marking them as junk mail. - Most of the email-related actions you want to perform are listed in the Message menu and Folder menu in the menu bar. The most frequently used ones, like Reply and Forward, also appear as buttons in the toolbar. Most of them are also located in the right-click menu and as keyboard shortcuts. - For an in-depth guide to the email capabilities of Evolution, read Sending and Receiving Email. -
- -
- The Calendar - To begin using the calendar, click Calendar in the Switcher. By default, the calendar shows today's schedule on a ruled background. At the left bottom, there is a monthly calendar you can use to switch days. At the upper right, there is a task list, where you can keep a list of tasks separate from your calendar appointments. Below that, there is a memo list. - - - Appointment List: - The appointment list displays all your scheduled appointments. - - - Month Pane: - The month pane is a small view of a calendar month. To display additional months, drag the column border to the right. You can also select a range of days in the month pane to display a custom range of days in the appointment list. - - - Task List: - Tasks are distinct from appointments because they generally don't have times associated with them. You can use the list in a larger window by clicking the Tasks button in the side bar. - - For more information about the calendar, see Evolution Calendar. -
- -
- The Contacts - The Evolution contacts can handle all of the functions of an address book or phone book. However, it is easier to update Evolution than it is to change an actual paper book, in part because Evolution can synchronize with Palm OS&z-3rdParty; devices and use LDAP directories on a network. - To use the contacts tool, click Contacts in the Switcher. 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. - - Another advantage of the Evolution contacts is its integration with the rest of the application. For example, you can right-click an email address in Evolution mail to instantly create a contact entry. - The largest section of the contacts display shows a list of individual contacts. You can also search the contacts in the same way that you search email folders, using the search tool on the right side of the toolbar. - For detailed instructions on how to use the address book, read Evolution Contacts: the Address Book. -
-
- -
- Backing Up and Restoring Evolution - With the Backup and Restore plugin enabled, you can successfully back up Evolution to your machine and restore it whenever it is required.

Ensure that you use the keys when the message list is enabled. - Navigate the message list by using the arrow keys on the keyboard. To go to the next and previous unread messages, press the period (.) or comma (,) keys. On some keyboards, these keys are also marked with the > and < symbols, which is a convenient way to remember that they move you forward and backward in your message list. You can also use the right square bracket (]) for the next unread message, and the left square bracket ([) for the previous unread message. - - -
- Magic Spacebar for Reading Mail - With Magic Spacebar, you can easily read the unread messages in all the mail folders.

- Vertical View Versus Classical View - Evolution provides a vertical view in addition to the classical view. In the vertical view, the message preview pane is located at the right side of the message list when compared to the classical view where the message preview pane is placed below the message list. Vertical view enables you to use the extra width of wide screen monitors. - - Vertical View: - To switch to vertical view, click View > Preview > Vertical View. - - In vertical view, the message list contains double lines of compressed headers, which enables you to consume the extra width in the preview column. The compressed columns have Sender Name and Email, Attachment Icon, Date and Subject in the second line. - - - Classical View: - To switch to classical view, click View > Preview > Classical View. - -
- -
- Collapsible Message Headers - Evolution compresses the TO, CC and BCC headers of received mail and shows only limited addresses.

Instead of Edit, you might want to create a new account just for this source of mail by clicking New. - - - Under the Receiving Mail tab, select the type of mail file that your other mail application uses, then specify the full path to that location. A typical choice would be mbox files, with the path /home/username/Mail/. - - - Click OK. - - - You can only use one mail client at a time. The mail files are locked by the mail program that is currently using them, so the mail files can't be accessed by any other mail program. -
- -
- Working with Attachments and HTML Mail - If someone sends you an attachment, Evolution displays a file icon at the end of the message to which it is attached. Text, including HTML formatting, and embedded images appears as part of the message, rather than as a separate attachment. Attachments are also listed under the address list. To view the attachments, click the arrow to expand the attachment window. To open an attachment, double-click it. Click the Save All button to save all the attachments. - -
- Saving or Opening Attachments - If you get an email message with an attachment, Evolution can help you save the attachment or open it with the appropriate applications. - Evolution shows a right-arrow icon, the number of attachments, and a Save or Save All button to save all the attachments. Click the right-arrow icon to show the attachment bar. - To save an attachment to disk: - - - Click the down-arrow on the attachment icon or right-click the attachment icon in the attachment bar. - - - Click Save As. - - - Select a location and name for the file. - - - Click OK. - - - To open an attachment using another application: - - - Click the down-arrow on the attachment icon or right-click the attachment icon in the attachment bar. - - - Select the application to open the attachment. - - - Click OK. - - - The options available for an attachment vary depending on the type of attachment and the applications your system has installed. For example, attached word processor files can be opened in OpenOffice.org or another word processor, and compressed archive files can be opened in the File Roller application. -
- -
- Inline Images in HTML Mail - When someone sends you HTML mail that includes an image in the body of the message (for example, the welcome message in your Inbox), Evolution displays the image inside the message. You can create messages like this by using the Insert Image tool in the message composer. Alternately, just drag an image into the message composition area. - Some images are links in a message, rather than being part of the message. Evolution can download those images from the Internet, but does not do so unless you request it. This is because remotely hosted images can be slow to load and display, and can even be used by spammers to track who reads the email. Not automatically loading images helps protect your privacy. - To load the images for one message, click View > Load Images. - To set the default action for loading images: - - - Select Edit > Preferences, then select Mail Preferences. - - - Click the HTML Mail tab. - - - Select one of the items: Never Load Images Off the Net, Load Images in Mail From Contacts, or Always Load Images Off the Net. - - - Click Close. - - -
-
- -
- Using Evolution for News - USENET newsgroups are similar to mail, so it is often convenient to read news and mail side by side. You can add a news source, called an NNTP server, the same way you would add new email account, selecting USENET News as the server type. The news server appear as a remote mail server, and each newsgroup works like an IMAP folder. When you click Send/Receive, Evolution also checks for news messages. - When you create a newsgroup account, you are not subscribed to any groups. To subscribe to a newsgroup: - - - Click Folder > Subscriptions. - - - Select your NNTP account, select the groups you want to subscribe to, then click Subscribe. - - - Click Close. - - -
- -
- Deleting Mail - Evolution allows you to delete unwanted messages. To delete a message, select it and press the Delete key, or click the Delete button in the toolbar, or press Ctrl+D, or right-click the message, then click Delete. - When you press Delete or click the Trash folder, your mail is not actually deleted, but is marked for deletion. Your email is recoverable until you have expunged your mail. When you expunge a folder, you remove all the mail that you have marked for deletion. To show deleted messages, uncheck Hide Deleted Messages option from the View menu. You can view the messages striken off for later deletion. You can also find deleted messages in your Trash folder. - To permanently erase all the deleted messages in a folder, click Folder > Expunge or press Ctrl+E. - Trash folders in GroupWise, local and IMAP accounts are actually virtual search folders that display all messages you have marked for later deletion. Hence, emptying Trash is nothing but expunging deleted mail from all your folders in the account. - However, this is not true for the Trash folder on Exchange servers, which behaves just the same as it does in Outlook. It is a normal folder with actual messages in it. For more information about search folders, see Using Search Folders. -
- -
- Undeleting Messages - You can undelete a message that has been deleted but not expunged. To undelete a message, select the message, click Edit > Undelete. Note that View > Hide Deleted messages in the menubar must be disabled for this. - If you have marked a message for deletion, undeleting it unmarks it, and the message is removed from the Trash folder. -
-
- -
- Composing New Email Messages - You can start writing a new email message by clicking File > New > Mail Message, by pressing Ctrl+N when in the mail tool, or by clicking New in the toolbar. - Enter an address in the To field. If you want to enter multiple email addresses, type in the addresses separated by comma. You can also use a contact list to send messages to multiple recipients. Enter a subject in the Subject field, and a message in the box at the bottom of the window. After you have written your message, click Send. - New mail message window look like this: - - This section contains the following topics: - - - Unicode, ASCII, and Non-Latin Alphabets - - - Sending Composed Messages Later - - - Working Offline - - - Attachments - - - Specifying Additional Recipients for Email - - - Choosing Recipients Quickly - - - Replying to Email Messages - - - Searching and Replacing with the Composer - - - Enhancing Your Email with HTML - - - Mail Send Options - - - Forwarding Mail - - - -
- Unicode, ASCII, and Non-Latin Alphabets - If you want to write in a non-Latin alphabet while using a Latin keyboard, try selecting a different input method in the message composer. Right-click in the message composition area and select an input method from the Input Methods menu, then begin typing. The actual keys vary by language and input style. For example, the Cyrillic input method uses transliterated Latin keyboard combinations to get the Cyrillic alphabet, combining letters where necessary. Zh and ya produce the appropriate single Cyrillic letters, and the single-quote (') produces a soft sign character. - For greater language display capabilities, click Edit > Preferences, then select the character set choices in the Mail Preferences and Composer Preferences sections. If you aren't sure which one to use, select UTF-8, which offers the greatest range of character displays for the greatest range of languages. - -
- Using Character Sets - A character set is a computer's version of an alphabet. In the past, the ASCII character set was used almost universally. However, it contains only 128 characters, meaning it is unable to display characters in Cyrillic, Kanjii, or other non-Latin alphabets. To work around language display problems, programmers developed a variety of methods, so many human languages now have their own specific character sets, and items written in other character sets display incorrectly. Eventually, standards organizations developed the UTF-8 Unicode&z-3rdParty; character set to provide a single compatible set of codes for everyone. - Most email messages state in advance which character set they use, so Evolution usually can display those messages correctly. However, if you find that messages are displayed as rows of incomprehensible characters, try selecting a different character set in the mail settings screen. If your recipients can't read your messages, try selecting a different character set in the composer options dialog box. For some languages, such as Turkish or Korean, it might work best for you to select the language-specific character set. However, the best choice for most users is UTF-8, which offers the widest range of characters for the widest range of languages. -

- -
- Custom Header - To enable the Custom Header plugin: - Select Edit > Plugins. - Then select Custom Header. You can configure custom headers to set sensitivity and caveats to the outgoing messages. - In the Plugin Manager, select the Configuration tab to customize your header fields. You can add, edit, or remove the header fields. For every header field you add, you can specify the keys and values. The key is used as the title of the Custom Header. You can enter multiple values for the keys. You must use a semicolon to separate every value you enter. - - - Select New > Mail Message or Shift+Ctrl+M to open a Compose Message window. - - - Select Insert > Custom Header to open the Email Custom Header window. - In the Email Custom Header window, you can view all the header fields and values you add. - - - Set the values for the header fields by using the respective drop-down list. - - - Click OK. - - -
-
- Sending Composed Messages Later - Evolution normally sends mail as soon as you click Send. However, can save a message to be sent later: - - - If you are offline when you click Send, Evolution adds your message to the Outbox queue. The next time you connect to the Internet and send or receive mail, that message is sent. - - - Click File > Save Draft to store your messages in the Drafts folder for later revision. - - - If you prefer to save your message as a text file, click File > Save As, then specify a filename. - - -
- -
- Working Offline - Offline mode helps you communicate with remote mail storage systems like GroupWise, IMAP or Exchange, in situations where you are not connected to the network at all times. Evolution keeps a local copy of one or more folders to allow you to compose messages, storing them in your Outbox to be sent the next time you connect. - POP mail downloads all messages to your local system, but other connections usually download just the headers, and get the rest only when you want to read the message. Before you go offline, Evolution downloads the unread messages from the folders you have chosen to store. - To mark a folder for offline use, - - - Right-click the folder, then click Properties. - - - Click Copy Folder Content Locally for Offline Operation. - - - Your connection status is shown by the small icon in the lower left corner of the Evolution main window. When you are online, it displays two connected cables. When you go offline, the cables separate. - To cache your selected folders and disconnect from the network, - - - Click File > Work Offline, or click the connection status icon in the lower left of the screen. - A message pops up and asks you whether you want to go offline immediately or synchronize folders locally before you go offline. - - - - - Click Synchronize to download all the messages to the folders marked for offline. - Or - Click Do not synchronize to go offline immediately, without downloading the messages locally for offline operations. - Select Do not show this message again to switch off this popup. The default is to not synchronize while going offline. - - - When you want to reconnect, click File > Work Online, or click the connection status icon again. - -
- Download Messages for Offline Operations - This features prepares you for going offline and for offline operations. It helps you download all the messages locally before you go offline. If otherwise, by default, it goes offline when you click the offline button without downloading the message. - To download messages for offline operations, select File > Download messages for offline. -
- -
- Automatic Network State Handling - Evolution automatically understands the network state and acts accordingly. For instance, Evolution switches to offline mode when the network goes down and automatically switches on when the network is up again. Ensure that your system has Network Manager installed on to enable this feature. -

- Attachments - To attach a file to your email: - - - Click the Attach button in the composer. - - - Select the file you want to attach. - - - Click OK. - - - You can also drag a file to the attachment bar of the composer window. If you want to send it as an inline attachment, right-click the attachment and click Properties, then select Automatic Display of Attachments. - When you send the message, a copy of the attached file goes with it. Be aware that large attachments can take a long time to send and receive. -
-
- Attachment Reminder - Evolution has an Attachment Reminder plugin you can use to remind yourself to attach a file to an email. If it determines that you have not attached the file, it displays the following message: - - - - Click Continue Editing to attach the missing file, or click Send to send the message without any attachment. - - - To enable the Attachment Reminder: - - - Select Edit > Plugins > Attachment Reminder. - - - Click Configuration, then make sure that Remind Missing Attachments is selected. - - - - Click Add, then enter keywords such as Attach or Attachment. - Based on the keywords you have added here, it searches every mail you are sending. If it finds the keywords such as attach in your mail and there is no actual attached file, you are reminded of missing attachments. - - - To edit any of the existing keywords, select the keyword, click Edit, then modify the word as desired. - - - Click Close. - - -
-
- Specifying Additional Recipients for Email - Evolution, like most email programs, recognizes three types of addresses: primary recipients, secondary recipients, and hidden (blind) recipients. The simplest way to direct a message is to put the email address or addresses in the To: field, which denotes primary recipients. Use the Cc: field to send a message to secondary recipients. - Addresses on the Bcc: list are hidden from the other recipients of the message. You can use it to send mail to large groups of people, especially if they don't know each other or if privacy is a concern. If your Bcc: field is absent, click View > Bcc Field. - If you frequently write email to the same groups of people, you can create address lists in the contacts tool, and then send them mail as though they have a single address. To learn how to do that, see Creating a List of Contacts. - Evolution allows you to specify the Reply-To header in an email. To do this: - - - Open a compose window. - - - Open the Reply-To field by clicking View > Reply To. - - - Specify the address you want as the Reply-To address in the new Reply-To field. - - - Complete the rest of your message. - - - Click Send. - - -
- -
- Choosing Recipients Quickly - Address auto-completion is enabled in Evolution by default when you create contacts. Evolution makes it easy for you to quickly fill in the address field without having to remember the email address of recipients. You can type nicknames or other portions of address data in the address field and Evolution will display a drop-down list of possible address completions from your contacts. If you type a name or nickname that can go with more than one card, Evolution opens a dialog box to ask you which person you meant. - If Evolution does not complete addresses automatically, click Edit > Preferences, then click Autocompletion. Then, select the address book you want to use for address autocompletion in the mailer. - Alternately, you can click the To:, Cc:, or Bcc: buttons to get a list of the email addresses in your contacts. Select addresses and click the arrows to move them into the appropriate address columns. - For more information about using email with the contact manager and the calendar, see Send Me a Card: Adding New Cards Quickly and Scheduling With the Evolution Calendar. -
- -
- Replying to Email Messages - To reply to a message, select the message to reply to in the message list and click the Reply button in the toolbar, or right-click within the message and select Reply to Sender. This opens the message composer. The To: and Subject: fields are already filled, although you can alter them if you prefer. In addition, the full text of the old message is inserted into the new message, either in grey with a blue line on one side (for HTML display) or with the > character before each line (in plain text mode), to indicate that it is part of the previous message. - If you're reading a message with several recipients, you can use Reply to All instead of Reply. If there are large numbers of people in the Cc: or To: fields, this can save substantial amounts of time. - -
- Using the Reply To All Feature - Susan sends an email to a client and sends copies to Tim and to an internal company mailing list of co-workers. If Tim wants to make a comment for all of them to read, he uses Reply to All, but if he just wants to tell Susan that he agrees with her, he uses Reply. His reply does not reach anyone that Susan put on her Bcc list, because that list is not shared with anyone. - If you subscribe to a mailing list, and want your reply to go just to the list rather than to the sender, select Reply to List instead of Reply or Reply to All. -

- Searching and Replacing with the Composer - The message composer makes several text searching features available to you. - - Find: - Enter a word or phrase, and Evolution finds it in your message. - - - Find Regex: - You can search for a complex pattern of characters, called a regular expression or regex in your composer window. If you're not sure what a regular expression is, you should ignore this feature. - - - Find Again: - Select this item to repeat the last search you performed. - - - Replace: - Find a word or phrase, and replace it with something else. - - For all of these menu items, you can choose whether to search backwards in the document from the point where your cursor is. You can also determine whether the search is to be case sensitive in determining a match. -
- -
- Enhancing Your Email with HTML - Normally, you can't set text styles or insert pictures in email. However, most newer email programs can display images and text styles in addition to basic alignment and paragraph formatting. They do this with HTML, just like Web pages do. - 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. Because of this, Evolution sends plain text unless you explicitly ask for HTML. - -
- Basic HTML Formatting - You can change the format of an email message from plain text to HTML by choosing Format > HTML from the menu bar. - To send all your mail as HTML by default, set your mail format preferences in the mail configuration dialog box. See Composer Preferences for more information. - HTML formatting tools are located in the toolbar just above the space where you actually compose the message. They also appear in the Insert and Format menus. - The icons in the toolbar are explained in tool-tips, which appear when you hold your mouse pointer over the buttons. The buttons fall into five categories: - - Headers and Lists: - At the left edge of the toolbar, you can choose Normal for a default text style or Header 1 through Header 6 for varying sizes of header from large (1) to tiny (6). Other styles include preformat, to use the HTML tag for preformatted blocks of text, and three types of bullet points for lists. - - For instance, instead of using asterisks to mark a bulleted list, you can use the Bulleted List style from the style drop-down list. Evolution uses different bullet styles, and handles word wrap and multiple levels of indentation. - - Text Styles: - Use these buttons to determine the way your email looks. If you have text selected, the style applies to the selected text. If you do not have text selected, the style applies to whatever you type next. - - - - - - - - - Button - - - Description - - - - - - - TT - - - Typewriter text, which is approximately the same as the Courier monospace font. - - - - - Bold A - - - Bolds the text. - - - - - Italic A - - - Italicizes the text. - - - - - Underlined A - - - Underlines the text. - - - - - Strike through A - - - Marks a line through the text. - - - - - - - Alignment: - Located next to the text style buttons, the three paragraph icons should be familiar to users of most word processing software. The left-most button aligns your text to the left, the center button centers text, and the right button aligns the text to the right. - - - Indentation Rules: - The button with the arrow pointing left decreases a paragraph's indentation, and the right arrow increases its indentation. - - - Color Selection: - At the far right is the color section tool, where a box displays the current text color. To choose a new color, click the arrow button to the right. If you have text selected, the color applies to the selected text. If you do not have text selected, the color applies to whatever you type next. You can select a background color or image by right-clicking the message background, then selecting Style > Page Style. - -
- -
- Advanced HTML Formatting - Under the Insert menu, there are several more items you can use to style your email. To use these and other HTML formatting tools, make sure you have enabled HTML mode by using Format > HTML from the menu bar. - -

-
- -
- Forwarding Mail - When you receive an email, you can forward it to other individuals or groups that might be interested. You can forward a message as an attachment to a new message (this is the default) or you can send it in line as a quoted portion of the message you are sending. Attachment forwarding is best if you want to send the full, unaltered message to someone else. 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 whether you have removed or altered content. - To forward a message you are reading: - - - Click Forward on the toolbar. - or - If you prefer to forward the message inline instead of attached, click Message > Forward As > Inline from the menu. - - - Select an addressee as you would when sending a new message; the subject is already entered, although you can alter it if you want. - - - Add your comments on the message in the composition frame - Click Send. - - - Attachments to a message you are forwarding are forwarded only when you send the original message as an attachment. Inline messages do not forward any attachments. -

- -
- Configuring Message Templates - In the Plugin Manager, select the Configuration tab to customize your message templates. You can add, edit or remove the key-value pairs. You can specify any number of key-value pairs. - In any template, the occurrence of every $key is replaced by the value it has in the configuration. For example, if you set the key to Manager and the value to Harry, any occurrence of $Manager is replaced by Harry in the message. - Assume that you have 1000 message templates with your current manager's name in them. When the current manager is replaced by a new one, it's not easy for you to manually replace the manager's name in all the 1000 messages. If the messages have a $Manager key value, you can reset the value in the Configuration tab of this plugin. - By default, the entire environment variables are used as a key-value pair. An occurrence of $env_variable is replaced by the value it carries. For example, an occurrence of $PATH in your template is replaced by its value when the template is used. - The replacement process uses the following order of precedence: - - - $key is replaced by the value set for it in the Configuration tab of the Templates plugin. - - - If the key is not found, it is then replaced with the value of its environment variable. - - - If key is neither a configuration option nor an environment variable, no changes are made. - - -

- Sending Invitations by Mail - If you create an event in the calendar component, you can then send invitations to the attendee list through the Evolution email tool. The invitation card is sent as an attachment in iCal format. - To send an invitation, right-click on the calendar item and click Forward as iCalendar. - When you receive an invitation, you have several options: - - Accept: - Indicates you will attend the meeting. When you click the OK button, the meeting is entered into your calendar. - - - Tentatively Accept: - Indicates you will probably attend the meeting. When you click the OK button, the meeting is entered into your calendar, but is marked as tentative. - - - Decline: - Indicates you are unable to attend the meeting. The meeting is not entered into your calendar when you click OK, although your response is sent to the meeting host if you have selected the Send reply to sender option. - - - Send reply to sender: - Select this option if you want your response sent to the meeting organizers. - -

- IMAP Subscriptions Manager - Because IMAP folders exist on the server, and opening them or checking them takes time, you need fine-grained control over the way that you use IMAP folders. You use the IMAP subscriptions manager to do this. If you prefer to have every mail folder displayed, you can select that option as well. However, if you want to choose specific items in your mailbox, and exclude others, you can use the subscription management tool to do that. - - - Select Folder > Subscriptions. - - - If you have accounts on multiple IMAP servers, select the server where you want to manage your subscriptions. - Evolution displays a list of available files and folders. - - - Select a file or folder by clicking it. - You should select at least the Inbox folder. Depending upon the way your IMAP server is configured, the list of available files might include non-mail folders. If it does, you can ignore them. - - - Enable the corresponding checkbox to add a folder to the subscribed list. - - - When you have subscribed to the folders you want, close the window. - - -
- -
- Encryption - To protect and encode your email transmissions, Evolution offers two encryption methods: - - - GPG Encryption - - - S/MIME Encryption - - - Evolution helps you protect your privacy by using GNU Privacy Guard (GPG), an implementation of strong Public Key Encryption. - In order to send and receive encrypted emails using GPG, it is necessary to use two kinds of encryption keys: public and private. Public keys are used to encrypt messages and private keys to decrypt them. To send encrypted email, you must have the recepient's public key, which is used to encrypt the message. The recipient then uses his/her private key to decrypt (and read) the encrypted message. - Those who wish to send you encrypted email must first have a copy of your public key on your keyring. To this end, public keys can be shared with those who want to send encrypted messages to you. In order to do this, you may place your public key on a public key server. Private keys should not be shared with others. - Evolution does not support older versions of PGP, such as OpenPGP and Inline PGP. - You can use encryption in two different ways: - - - You can encrypt the entire message, so that nobody but the recipient can read it. - - - You can attach an encrypted signature to a plain text message, so that the recipient can read the message without decrypting it, and needs decrypting only to verify the sender's identity. - - - For example, suppose that Kevin wants to send an encrypted message to his friend Rachel. He looks up her public key on a general key server, and then tells Evolution to encrypt the message. The message now reads @#$23ui7yr87#@!48970fsd. When the information gets to Rachel, she decrypts it using her private key, and it appears as plain text for her to read. - -
- Making a GPG Encryption Key - Before you can get or send encrypted mail, you need to generate your public and private keys with GPG. This procedure covers version 1.2.4 of GPG. If your version is different, these steps might vary slightly. You can find out your version number by entering gpg --version. - - - Open a terminal and enter gpg --gen-key. - - - Select an algorithm, then press Enter. - or - To accept the default algorithm of DSA and ElGamal, press Enter (recommended). - - - Select a key length, then press Enter. To accept the default, 1024 bits, press Enter. - - - Enter how long your key should be valid for. - or - To accept the default of no expiration, press Enter, then press Y when you are prompted to verify the selection. - - - Type your real name, then press Enter. - - - Type your email address, then press Enter. - - - (Optional) Type a comment, then press Enter. - - - Review your selected user ID. If it is correct, press O. - - - Type a passphrase, then press Enter. - - - Move your mouse randomly to generate the keys. - - - After the keys are generated, you can view your key information by entering gpg --list-keys. You should see something similar to this: /home/you/.gnupg/pubring.gpg ---------------------------- pub 1024D/32j38dk2 2001-06-20 you <you@example.com> sub 1024g/289sklj3 2001-06-20 [expires: 2002-11-14] - GPG creates one list, or keyring, for your public keys and one for your private keys. All the public keys you know are stored in the file ~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg. If you want to give other people your key, send them that file. - If you want, you can upload your keys to a key server. - - - Check your public key ID with gpg--list-keys. It is the string after 1024D on the line beginning with pub. In the example above, it is 32j38dk2. - - - Enter the command gpg --send-keys --keyserver wwwkeys.pgp.net 32j38dk2. Substitute your key ID for 32j38dk2. You need your password to do this. - - - Key servers store your public keys for you so that your friends can decrypt your messages. If you choose not to use a key server, you can manually send your public key, include it in your signature file, or put it on your own Web page. However, it is easier to publish a key once, and then let people download it from a central place when they want. - If you don't have a key to unlock or encrypt a message, you can set your encryption tool to look it up automatically. If it can't find the key, an error message appears. -
- -
- Getting and Using GPG Public Keys - To send an encrypted message, you need to use the recipient's public key in combination with your private key. Evolution handles the encryption, but you need to get the public key and add it to your keyring. - To get public keys from a public key server, enter the command gpg --recv-keys --keyserver wwwkeys.pgp.net keyid, substituting keyid for your recipient's ID. You need to enter your password, and the ID is automatically added to your keyring. - - The domain wwwkeys.pgp.net is assigned to multiple hosts in various networks. - The gpg utility tries to connect to one in the current network; and if that particular host is down, - it fails with a time-out. - To avoid this, type $ host wwwkeys.pgp.net in a terminal console and get the IP address of the hosts. - You can ping each of them to find the one which is up and running. Now, you can replace wwwkeys.pgp.net in the gpg --recv-keys - --keyserver wwwkeys.pgp.net keyid command with that - explicit IP number as returned by the host utility. - - If someone sends you a public key directly, save it as a plain text file and enter the command gpg --import to add it to your keyring. -
- -
- Setting up GPG Encryption - - - Select Edit > Preferences, then select Mail Accounts. - - - Select the account you want to use securely, then click Edit. - - - Click the Security tab. - - - Specify your key ID in the PGP/GPG Key ID field. - - - Click OK. - - - Click Close. - - - Evolution requires that you know your key ID. If you don't remember it, you can find it by typing gpg --list-keys in a terminal window. Your key ID is an eight-character string with random numbers and letters. -
- -
- Encrypting Messages - To encrypt a single message: - - - Open a Compose Message window. - - - Click Security > PGP Encrypt. - - - Compose your message. - Click Send. - - - - The Subject line of the message will not be encrypted and should not be used for sensitive information. - - You can set Evolution to always sign your email messages: - - - Select Edit > Preferences, then select Mail Accounts. - - - Select the account you want to use securely, then click Edit. - - - Click the Security tab. - - - Select Always Sign Outgoing Messages When Using This Account. - - - Click OK. - - - Click Close. - - -
- -
- Unencrypting a Received Message - If you receive an encrypted message, you need to decrypt it before you read it. Remember, the sender must have your public key before they can send you an encrypted message. - When you view the message, Evolution prompts you for your PGP password. Enter it, and the unencrypted message is displayed. -
- -
- S/MIME Encryption - S/MIME encryption also uses a key-based approach, but it has some significant advantages in convenience and security. S/MIME uses certificates, which are similar to keys. The public portion of each certificate is held by the sender of a message and by one of several certificate authorities, who are paid to guarantee the identity of the sender and the security of the message. Evolution already recognizes a large number of certificate authorities, so when you get a message with an S/MIME certificate, your system automatically receives the public portion of the certificate and decrypts or verifies the message. - S/MIME is used most often in corporate settings. In these cases, administrators supply certificates that they have purchased from a certificate authority. In some cases, an organization can act as its own certificate authority, with or without a guarantee from a dedicated authority such as VeriSign&z-3rdParty; or Thawte&z-3rdParty;. In either case, the system administrator provides you with a certificate file. - If you want to use S/MIME independently, you can extract an identification certificate from your Mozilla&z-3rdParty; or Netscape&z-3rdParty; Web browser. See the Mozilla Help for more information on security certificates. - The certificate file is a password-protected file on your computer. - -
- Adding a Signing Certificate - - - Select Edit > Preferences. - - - Click Certificates. - - - Click Import. - - - Select the file to import, then click Open. - - - Click Close. - - - Similarly, you can add certificates that are sent to you independently of any authority by clicking the Contact Certificates tab and using the same import tool. You can also add new certificate authorities, which have their own certificate files, in the same way. -
- -
- Signing or Encrypting Every Message - After you have added your certificate, you can sign or encrypt a message by clicking Security > S/MIME Sign or S/MIME Encrypt in the message composer. - To have every message signed or encrypted: - - - Select Edit > Preferences, then select Mail Accounts. - - - Select the account to encrypt the messages in. - - - Click Edit, then click Security. - - - Click Select next to Signing Certificate and specify the path to your signing certificate. - or - Click Select next to Encryption Certificate and specify the path to your encryption certificate. - - - Select the appropriate options. - - - Click OK. - - - Click Close. - - -

- - - - Organizing Your Email - Whether you only get a few email messages a day, or you receive hundreds, you probably want to sort and organize them. Evolution has the tools to help you do it. - - - Importing Your Old Email - - - Sorting the Message List - - - Getting Organized with Folders - - - Searching for Messages - - - Create Rules to Automatically Organize Mail - - - Using Search Folders - - - Stopping Junk Mail (Spam) - - - -
- Importing Your Old Email - Evolution allows you to import old email and contacts so that you don't need to worry about losing your old information. - -
- Importing Single Files - Evolution can import the following types of files: - - vCard (.vcf, .gcrd): - The address book format used by the GNOME, KDE, and many other contact management applications. You should be able to export to vCard format from any address book application. - - - vCalendar: - A format for storing calendar files, which is generally used by Evolution, Microsoft Outlook, Sunbird, and Korganizer. - - - iCalendar or iCal (.ics): - A format for storing calendar files. iCalendar is used by Palm OS handhelds, Evolution, and Microsoft Outlook. - - - Evolution/Mozilla/Outlook CSV/Tab (.csv, .tab): - CSV or Tab files saved by using Evolution, Microsoft Outlook and Mozilla. - - - Microsoft Outlook Express 4 (.mbx): - The email file format used by Microsoft Outlook Express 4. For other versions of Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express, see the workaround described in Step 1. - - - Personal Storage Table (.pst): - A file format used to store local copies of messages, calendar events, and other items within Microsoft software such as Microsoft Exchange Client, Windows Messaging, and Microsoft Outlook. - - - LDAP Data Interchange Format (.LDIF): - A standard data format for contact cards. - - - Berkley Mailbox (.mbox or null extension): - The email format used by Mozilla, Netscape, Evolution, Eudora&z-3rdParty;, and many other email clients. - - To import your old email: - - - Click File > Import. - - - Click Forward. - - - Select Import a Single File, then click Forward. - - - Browse and find the location to save the imported email, then click Forward. - - - Select the file to import, then click Forward. - - - Click Import. - - -
- -
- Importing Multiple Files - Evolution automates the import process for several applications it can recognize. - - - Click File > Import. - - - Click Forward. - - - Select Import Data and Settings From Older Programs, then click Forward. - Follow the steps Step 3 through Step 5 to import. - Evolution searches for old mail programs and, if possible, imports the data from them. - - - Microsoft Outlook&z-3rdParty; and versions of Outlook Express after version 4 use proprietary formats that Evolution cannot read or import. - One migration method that works well is to use the Outport application. See outport.sourceforge.net for additional information. You can also import data into another Windows mail client such as Mozilla. - - - While in Windows, import your .pst files into Mozilla Mail (or another mail program such as Netscape or Eudora that uses the standard mbox format). - Before importing email from Netscape&z-3rdParty;, Mozilla and Netscape users need to click File > Compact > All Folders from within the Netscape or Mozilla mail tool. Otherwise, Evolution imports and undeletes the messages in your Trash folders. - - - Copy the files to the system or partition that Evolution is installed on. - - - Use the Evolution import tool to import the files. - - - For POP mail, filters are applied as messages are downloaded. For IMAP mail, filters are applied to new messages when you open the Inbox folder. On Exchange servers, filters are not applied until you select your Inbox folder and click Message > Apply Filters, or press Ctrl+Y. To force your filters to act on all messages in the folder, select the entire folder by pressing Ctrl+A, then apply the filters by pressing Ctrl+Y. -
-
- -
- Sorting the Message List - Evolution helps you work by letting you sort your email. To sort by sender, subject, or date, click the bars with those labels at the top of the message list. The direction of the arrow next to the label indicates the direction of the sort. Click again, to sort them in reverse order. For example, click Date to sort messages by date from oldest to newest. Click again, and Evolution sorts the list from newest to oldest. You can also right-click the message header bars to get a set of sorting options, and to add to or remove columns from the message list. - To look at the complete headers for a message, click View > All Message Headers. To see all message data, click View > Message Source. - -
- Sorting Mail In Email Threads - You can also choose a threaded message view. Click View > Group By Threads to turn the threaded view on or off. When you select this option, Evolution groups the replies to a message with the original, so you can follow the thread of a conversation from one message to the next. - In a thread of conversation view, each new message is stacked below of the ones that arrived before it, so that the newest message is always the one you see first. Whenever a new message arrives to an old thread as a reply, you will see it below the parent message. You always see the thread based on the date of the recent message received. The threads are sorted by the date of most recent message in the threads. - - There is a GConf key to toggle between the collapsed or expanded state of mail thread. By default, it is collapsed and you can change this at /apps/evolution/mail/display/thread_expand. If the value is set to false, expanded state is remembered. When you restart Evolution, all the threads are arranged to this state. This is a highly advanced option only for the advanced users. - -
- -
- Sorting Mail with Column Headers - The message list normally has columns to indicate whether a message has been read, whether it has attachments, how important it is, and the sender, date, and subject. You can change the column order, or add and remove columns by dragging and dropping them. -
- -
- Sorting Mail With Column Headers - In addition to it, Evolution enables you to sort your messages by using Sort-by list. You can use any of the criteria given in the Sort-by list such as sender, location, to, from, size and so forth to perform sorting. It returns the sorted email list that matches the criteria you have selected. - To sort messages, perform the following procedure: - - - Right-click message header bar. - - - Click Sort by to get a list of options. - - Sort by: - Sorts the message by different criteria as listed below: - - - - Recipients - - - Sender - - - Location - - - Sender - - - Due By - - - Follow Up Flag - - - Flag Status - - - Size - - - To - - - Received - - - Date - - - Subject - - - From - - - Attachment - - - Score - - - Flagged - - - Status - - - Custom - - - - Clicking each sort criteria cycles take you through three possibilities. Sort by criteria in ascending or descending order or unsort the message. When you click any of the sort criteria reiteratively, Evolution sorts the messages in a sequential order - ascending, descending and unsort. For example, when you click Recepients for the first time, Evolution sorts the messages by recipients in ascending order and for the second time, sorts in the reverse order. For the next click, messages will be displayed unsorted. - - - Sort Ascending: - Sorts the messages top to bottom and returns you the sorted message list in the order of oldest to the latest. - - - Sort Descending: - Sort descending reverts the order and returns you the sorted message list in the order of newest to oldest. - - - Unsort: - Unsort removes sorting from this column, reverting to the order of messages as they were added to the folder. - - - Removing a Column: - Remove this column from the display. You can also remove columns by dragging the header off the list and letting it drop. - - - Adding a Column: - When you select this item, a dialog box appears, listing the possible columns. Drag the column you want into a space between existing column headers. A red arrow shows where the column will be placed. - - - Best Fit: - Automatically adjusts the widths of the columns for the most efficient use of space. - - - Customizing the Current View: - Choose this item to pick a more complex sort order for messages, or to choose which columns of information about your messages you want to display. - - - - Select the search criteria from the list. - You can view the messages in the desired order in the message list. - - -
- -
- Using the Follow-Up Feature - To make sure you don't forget about a message, you can use the follow-up feature. - - - Select one or more messages. - - - Right-click one of the messages. - - - Click Mark for Follow Up. - - - You can also open the Flag to Follow Up window by - - - Selecting the messages. - - - Selecting the Message menu. - - - Clicking Mark as. - - - Selecting Follow Up or pressing Shift+Ctrl+G. - A window opens to allow you to set the type of flag and the due date. - - - - The flag itself is the action you want to remind yourself about. Several are provided for you, such as Call, Forward and Reply, but you can enter your own note or action if you want. - After you have added a flag, you can mark it as complete or remove it entirely by right-clicking the message, then click either Flag Completed or Clear Flag. - When you read a flagged message, its flag status is displayed at the top, before the message headers. An overdue message might tell you Overdue: Call by April 07, 2003, 5:00 PM. - Flags can help you organize your work in a number of ways. For example, you might add a Flag Status column to your message list and sort that way. Alternately, you could create a search folder that displays all your flagged messages, then clear the flags when you're done, so the search folder contains only messages with upcoming deadlines. - - Mark as Important Feature: - If you prefer a simpler way to remind yourself about messages, you can mark them as important by right-clicking the message, then click Mark as Important or select Message > Mark as > Important from the menubar. - -
-
- -
- Getting Organized with Folders - Evolution, like most other mail systems, stores mail in folders. You start out with a few mail folders, such as Inbox, Outbox, and Drafts, but you can create as many as you like. Create new folders by clicking Folder > New, or by right-clicking in the folder list and selecting New Folder. - When you click OK, your new folder appears in the folder view. You can then move the messages to it by dragging and dropping them, or right-click on the message and choose Move to folder, or press Shift+Ctrl+V. - You can also drop the messages to a particular folder by selecting Message > Move to folder. This will open the Select folder window, where you can drop your message to any of the folders listed. - If you want to create a new folder click New at the bottom left of the window. Specify the location and enter the label of the folder in the entry box appeared at the top. You can also move the messages from one folder to another by selecting the message and then press the Move button at the bottom right. - If you create a filter with the filter assistant, you can have mail filed automatically. Select Edit > Message Filters to bring up the Message Filters window. - Click on the Add button to bring up the Add Rule window from where you can set different criteria for filtering messages. For additional information on filtering, see Creating New Filter Rules. - - The Inbox folder on most IMAP servers cannot contain both subfolders and messages. When you create additional folders on your IMAP mail server, branch them from the root of the IMAP account's folder tree, not from the Inbox. If you create subfolders in your Inbox folder, you lose the ability to read messages that exist in your Inbox until you move the folders out of the way. - -
- - - -
- Create Rules to Automatically Organize Mail - Filters work very much like the mail room in a large company. Their purpose is to bundle, sort, and distribute mail to the various folders. In addition, you can have multiple filters performing multiple actions that might effect the same message in several ways. For example, your filters could put copies of one message into multiple folders, or keep one copy and send one to another person. - -
- Creating New Filter Rules - - - Click Edit > Message Filters. - - - Click Add. - - - Type a name for the filter in the Rule name field. - - - - - Define the criteria for the filter in the first section. - For each of the filter criteria, you must first select which parts of the message you want to filter: - - Sender: - The sender's email address or the name of the sender. - - - Recipient: - The recipients of the message. - - - Subject: - The subject line of the message. - - - Specific Header: - Any header including custom ones. - - If a message uses a header more than once, Evolution pays attention only to the first instance, even if the message defines the header differently the second time. For example, if a message declares the Resent-From: header as engineering@example.com and then restates it as marketing@example.com, Evolution filters as though the second declaration did not occur. To filter on messages that use headers multiple times, use a regular expression. - - Message Body: - Searches in the actual text of the message. - - - Expression: - (For programmers only) Match a message according to an expression you write in the Scheme language used to define filters in Evolution. - - - Date Sent: - Filters messages according to the date on which they were sent. First, choose the conditions you want a message to meet, such as before a given time or after a given time. Then choose the time. The filter compares the message's time stamp to the system clock when the filter is run, or to a specific time and date you choose from a calendar. You can also have it look for a message within a range of time relative to the filter, such as two to four days ago. - - - Date Received: - This works the same way as the Date Sent option, except that it compares the time you received the message with the dates you specify. - - - Label: - Messages can have labels of Important, Work, Personal, To Do, or Later. You can set labels with other filters or manually. - - - Score: - Sets the message score to any whole number greater than 0. You can have one filter set or change a message score, and then set up another filter to move the messages you have scored. A message score is not based on anything in particular: it is simply a number you can assign to messages so other filters can process them. - - - Size: - Sorts based on the size of the message in kilobytes. - - - Status: - Filters according to the status of a message. The status can be Replied To, Draft, Important, Read, or Junk. - - - Flagged: - Checks whether the message is flagged for follow-up. - - - Attachments: - Creates a filter based on whether there is an attachment for the email. - - - Mailing List - Filters based on the mailing list the message came from. This filter might miss messages from some list servers, because it checks for the X-BeenThere header, which is used to identify mailing lists or other redistributors of mail. Mail from list servers that do not set X-BeenThere properly are not be caught by these filters. - - - Regex Match: - If you know your way around a regex, or regular expression, this option allows you to search for complex patterns of letters, so that you can find, for example, all words that start with a and end with m, and are between six and fifteen letters long, or all messages that declare a particular header twice. For information about how to use regular expressions, check the man page for the grep command. - - - Source Account: - Filters messages according the server you got them from. This is most useful if you use multiple POP mail accounts. - - - Pipe to Program: - Evolution can use an external command to process a message, then process it based on the return value. Commands used in this way must return an integer. This is most commonly used to add an external junk mail filter. - - - Junk Test: - Filters based on the results of the junk mail test. - - - Select the Criteria for the Condition: - If you want multiple criteria for this filter, click Add and repeat step 4. - - - Select the Actions for the Filter in the Then Section: - Select any of the following options. - - - - - Move to Folder: - Moves the message into a folder you specify. - - - - - Copy to Folder: - Puts a copy of the message into a folder you specify. - - - - - Delete: - Marks the message for deletion. The message can be undeleted until you expunge or empty the trash. - - - - - Stop Processing: - Select this if you want to all other filters ignore this message. Note that only filters listed after this particular rule will be ignored. - - - - - Assign Color: - Marks the message with a color of your choice. - - - - - Assign Score: - Assigns the message a numeric score. - - - - - Adjust Score: - Changes the numeric score by the amount you set. - - - - - Set Status: - Sets the status of the message. The status can be Replied To, Draft, Important, Read, or Junk. - - - - - Unset Status: - If the message has a status value, unsets it. If a status value is not set, it does nothing. - - - - - Beep: - Makes the system beep. - - - - - Play Sound: - Select a sound file for Evolution to play. - - - - - Pipe to Program: - Sends the message to a program of your choice. No return value is expected. This feature can be used to create automatic Web postings from email messages or to perform additional message post processing not supported by Evolution. - - - - - Run Program: - Evolution runs an application. - - - - - - Click Add if you need multiple actions and click OK. - - - Click OK. - - - There is an easy shortcut for fast filter or search folder creation: - - - Right-click the message in the message list. - - - Select one of the items under the Create Rule From Message submenu. - Creating a rule based on a message opens the filter creation tool with some of the information about the message already filled in for your convenience. - - - If you have several filters that match a single message, they are all applied to the message in order, unless one of the filters has the Stop Processing action. If you use that action in a filter, the messages that it affects are not touched by other filters. - When you first open the Filters window, you are shown the list of filters sorted in the order in which they will be applied. You can move them up and down in the priority list by clicking the Up and Down buttons. -

- Editing Filters - - - Click Edit > Message Filters. - - - Select the filter to edit, then click Edit. - - - Make the desired corrections, then click OK twice. - - -
- -
- Deleting Filters - - - Click Edit > Message Filters. - - - Select the filter to remove, then click Remove. - - - Click OK. - - -

- -
- Using Search Folders - If filters aren't flexible enough, or you find yourself performing the same search again and again, consider a search folder. Search folders 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, search folders can help you keep things organized. - A search folder is really a hybrid of all the other organizational tools: it looks like a folder, it acts like a search, and you set it up like a filter. In other words, a conventional folder actually contains messages, but a search folder is a view of messages that might be in several different folders. The messages it contains are determined on the fly using a set of criteria you choose in advance. - As messages that meet the search folder criteria arrive or are deleted, Evolution automatically adjusts the search folder contents. When you delete a message, it is erased from the folder in which it actually exists, as well as any search folders that display it. - The Unmatched Search Folder is the opposite of other search folders: it displays all messages that do not appear in other search folders. - If you use remote email storage like IMAP or Microsoft Exchange, and have created search folders to search through them, the Unmatched Search Folder also searches the remote folders. If you do not create any search folders that search remote mail stores, the Unmatched Search Folder does not search in them either. - As an example of using folders, searches, and search folders, consider the following: To organize his mailbox, Jim sets up a search folder for email from his friend and co-worker Anna. He has another search folder for messages that have novell.com in the address and Evolution in the subject line, so he can keep a record of what people from work send him about Evolution. If Anna sends him a message about anything other than Evolution, it only shows up in the Anna search folder. When Anna sends him mail about the user interface for Evolution, he can see the message both in the Anna search folder and in the Internal Evolution Discussion search folder. - -
- Creating A Search Folder - - - Click Message > Create Rule, then select a search folder based on Subject, Sender, Recipient, or Mailing List. - or - Select Search > Create Search Folder From Search. - - Perform this operation from the search results. Create a search folder from search is enabled only when you already have performed a search. - - or - Select Edit > Search Folder - - - Click Add. - - - - - Type the name of the search folder in the Search name field. - - - Select your search criteria. For each criterion, you must first select which of the following parts of the message you want the search to examine. The criteria are almost similar to those for filters. - - Sender: - Sender's address. - - - Recipients: - The recipients of the message. - - - Subject: - The subject line of the message. - - - Message Body: - Searches in the actual text of the message. - - - Expression (for programmers only): - Match a message according to an expression you write in the Scheme language used to define filters in Evolution. - - - Date Sent: - Filters messages according to the date on which they were sent. First, choose the conditions you want a message to meet, such as before a given time or after a given time. Then choose the time. The filter compares the message's time stamp to the system clock when the filter is run, or to a specific time and date you choose from a calendar. You can also have it look for a message within a range of time relative to the filter, such as two to four days ago. - - - Date Received: - This works the same way as the Date Sent option, except that it compares the time you received the message with the dates you specify. - - - Label: - Messages can have labels of Important, Work, Personal, To Do, or Later. You can set labels with other filters or manually. - - - Score: - Sets the message score to any whole number greater than 0. You can have one filter set or change a message score, and then set up another filter to move the messages you have scored. A message score is not based on anything in particular: it is simply a number you can assign to messages so other filters can process them. - - - Size: - Sorts based on the size of the message in kilobytes. - - - Status: - Filters according to the status of a message. The status can be Replied To, Draft, Important, Read, or Junk. - - - Follow Up: - Checks whether the message is flagged for follow-up. - - - Attachments: - Creates a filter based on whether there is an attachment for the email. - - - Mailing List: - Filters based on the mailing list the message came from. This filter might miss messages from some list servers, because it checks for the X-BeenThere header, which is used to identify mailing lists or other redistributors of mail. Mail from list servers that do not set X-BeenThere properly are not be caught by these filters. - - - Match all: - Checks whether the message matchs all the criteria listed. - - - - Select which folders will be used for the search folder. Your options are: - - All local folders: - Uses all local folders for the search folder source in addition to individual folders that are selected. - - - All active remote folders: - Remote folders are considered active if you are connected to the server; you must be connected to your mail server for the search folder to include any messages from that source in addition to individual folders that are selected. - - - All local and active remote folders: - Uses all local and active remote folders for the search folder source in addition to individual folders that are selected. - - - Specific folders only: - Uses individual folders for the search folder source. - - If you select Specific folders only, - - - click Add button to open the Select folder window. - - - Select the folder and press Add button. - - - You can view the folder added to the list in the entry box at the bottom of the New Search Folder window. - - - Click OK. - - -

- Stopping Junk Mail (Spam) - Evolution can check for junk mail for you. Evolution uses SpamAssassin and/or Bogofilter with trainable Bayesian filters to perform the spam check. When the software detects mail that appears to be junk mail, it will flag it and hide it from your view. Messages that are flagged as junk mail are displayed only in the Junk folder. - The junk mail filter can learn which kinds of mail are legitimate and which are not if you train it. When you first start using junk mail blocking, check the Junk folder to be sure that legitimate mail doesn't get flagged as junk mail. If legitimate mail is incorrectly flagged, remove it from the Junk folder by right-clicking it and selecting Mark as Not Junk or pressing Shift+Ctrl+J. If Evolution misses junk mail, right-click the message, then click Mark as Junk or press Ctrl+J. When you correct it, the filter can recognize similar messages in the future, and becomes more accurate as time goes on. - Every filter needs to learn at the least 100 spam and 100 ham to start working. For that, you must mark each message manually by clicking the Not junk button in the toolbar to learn that it is ham. The Junk button learns a message as spam. - To change your junk mail filtering preferences, click Edit > Preferences, then click Mail Preferences. - For additional information on junk content, see Junk Mail Preferences. - For additional junk mail settings, see Receiving Mail Options. - - SpamAssassin is an application that scans through the mail box to find junk mail. Evolution uses SpamAssassin as the default spam-filtering application. For more information, see The Apache SpamAssassin Project. - Bogofilter is a mail filter that classifies mail as spam or ham (non-spam) by a statistical analysis of the message's header and content (body). It is able to learn from the user's classifications and corrections. For more information on Bogofilter, see The Bogofilter site. - -
- - - - Evolution Contacts: the Address Book - This section shows you how to use the Evolution contacts tool to organize any amount of contact information, share addresses over a network, and save time with everyday tasks. - - - Contacts and Cards - - - Searching for Contacts - - - Organizing your Contacts - - - LDAP: Shared Address Books on a Network - - - Send Me a Card: Adding New Cards Quickly - - - -
- Contacts and Cards - Contacts are the individuals you have chosen to add to your address book so you can keep track of information about them and send email to them. In Evolution, an individual contact is called a card. For more information on organizing your contacts see Organizing your Contacts. To learn about configuring the contacts tool, see Contact Management. - -
- The Contact Editor - If you want to add or change cards, use the contact editor. You can edit email addresses, telephone numbers, mailing addresses and all other contact information you have entered for a particular contact. - The contact editor window has three tabs: - - Contact: - Contains basic contact information. - - - Personal Information: - Contains a more specific description of the person, including URLs for calendar and free/busy information. - - - Mailing Address: - Contains the individual's mailing address. - - You can also use the Forward Contact menu item in the Action menu, which opens a new message with the card already attached, or Send Message to Contact, which opens a new message to the contact's email address. - You can add a card from within an email message or calendar appointment. In an open email, right-click any email address or message, and click Add to Address Book or select Add Sender to Address Book from the Message menu. - Most of the items in the contact editor simply display the information you enter, but some of them have additional features: - - Full Name: - Specify the name of your contact here. You can type a name into the Full Name field, but you can also click the Full Name button to bring up a small dialog box with text boxes for first and last names, titles like Mr. or Her Excellency, and suffixes like Jr. The Full Name field also interacts with the File Under box to help you organize your contacts and to handle multi-word surnames. To see how it works, type a name in the Full Name field. As an example, we will use Miguel de Icaza. You will notice that the File Under field also fills in, but in reverse: Icaza, Miguel de. If you had entered John Q. Doe, the contacts editor would have correctly guessed that the entry should be filed under Doe, John Q. However, Miguel's surname, de Icaza, has two words, and to sort it correctly you must enter de Icaza, Miguel in the File Under entry. - - - Where: - Select one of your address books as the location for this contact. You might not be able to write to all available address books, especially those on a network. - - - Categories: - Click the Categories button to select categories for this card. If you assign contact categories, you can then search for contacts using those categories. For more information on contact categories, see Organizing your Contacts - - - Free/Busy and Calendar URLs: - Click the Personal Information tab to enter Web addresses for the contact. If the contact publishes free/busy or calendar data online, using a server other than Exchange or GroupWise, you can specify the addresses for those servers here. After you do so, you can check their schedules when creating appointments in the calendar. - - - -
- Creating and Editing Contacts - Follow the steps given below to create a new card. - - - Click File > New > Contact. - - - Enter the contact information to the entry boxes provided. - - - Click OK. - - - If you want to change a card that already exists, - - - Go to the Contacts window by selecting View > Window > Contacts from the menubar. - - - Double-click on the card you want to edit. - - - Edit the information in the Contact Editor window. - - - Click OK. - - - You can also edit the contact information from the preview pane. - - - Right-click on the address from Message Header. - - - Select Add to Address Book to bring up the Contact Quick-Add window. - - - - - Press the Edit Full button at the bottom left to bring up the Contact Editor window. - - - Edit the information in the Contact Editor window. - Click OK. - - -

- Organizing your Contacts - Evolution allows you to organize your contacts. You can create several individual address books, or contact lists. Within a given address book, you can have several categories of contacts. - - - Contact Groups - - - Creating a List of Contacts - - - Grouping with Categories - - - Configuring Evolution to use LDAP - - - -
- Contact Groups - Contact groups are nothing but address books. The simplest way to organize contacts is to create additional address books. You can create a new one by clicking File > New > Address Book. For contacts groups on your computer, you only need to provide a name. For contacts on the network, you need to provide more information about the contacts server you are trying to access. - To move a card from one group to another, just drag it from the main display of contacts and drop it to a different group. You cannot change the contents of most network contact groups. - - Contacts groups are not the same as contact lists. A contact group is like a folder or address book full of contacts. A contact list is a single contact that contains other contacts, and is most often used to email several people at once. - -
- -
- Importing Contacts - You can import contacts from other contact management tools with the Import tool. - - - Click File > Import. - or - Mail yourself a contact as a vCard attachment. - Currently VCF and LDIF are supported. CSV and TAB format files are supported from Microsoft Outlook, Thunderbird, Mozilla, and Evolution. - - -
- -
- Creating a List of Contacts - A contact list is a set of contacts with a single nickname that you create. When you send email to the nickname, it is sent to every member of the list. This differs from a network mailing list in that it exists only on your computer as a convenience to you, rather than as an actual email address managed by a mailing list application on a server. - For example, you could create one card for each family member, then add those cards to a contact list called Family. Then, instead of entering each person's email address individually, you can send email to Family and the message would go to all of them. - To create a list of contacts: - - - Open the list creation window by clicking the New List button. - or - Click File > New > Contact List. - - - Specify a name for the list. - - - Specify the names or email addresses of contacts. - or - Drag contacts from the main window into the list. - - - Choose whether you want to hide the email addresses when you send a message to the list. - Unless it is a very small list, it is recommended that you leave the addresses hidden. This is the same thing as using the Bcc: feature discussed in Specifying Additional Recipients for Email. - - - When you are finished, click OK. - - - The list appears as a contact card, which you can use as you would any other card, including mailing the list to another person and sending email to the list. - To mail the list, open a new email and type the name you chose for the list. Evolution addresses the message to the entire list when you send the message. You can also right-click the list's address card in the contacts tool and select Send Message to List. - Evolution cannot store contact lists on Microsoft Exchange servers. -
- -
- Grouping with Categories - Another way to group cards is to mark them as belonging to different categories. You can mark a card as being in several categories or no category at all. For example, you put a friend's card in the Business category because he works with you and the Friends category because he's a friend. - To mark a card as belonging to a category, - - - Double-click the card to bring up the Contact Editor window. - - - Click the Categories button at the left. - The Categories window is shown below. - - - - - Select the category from the list. You can select as many or as few categories as you like. - - - If the master list of categories doesn't suit you, you can add your own categories. To add a new category, - - - Enter the new category in the entry box at the top. - - - Click OK. - You can view the category name in the field next to Categories button in the Contact Editor window. - - - Click OK. - - - - You can edit or set the color and icon for each categories available under categories list. To achieve that click the Edit button at the bottom of the Categories window. Press the Delete button to delete the items from the list. - -

- LDAP: Shared Address Books on a Network - The LDAP protocol was created to let users share contact information over a network by sharing access to a central directory. LDAP allows a company to maintain a shared set of contact information. Many companies keep a common LDAP address book for all their employees or for client contacts. - To learn how to add a remote LDAP directory to your available address books, see Contact Management. Remote groups of contacts appear under the On LDAP Servers item in the side bar. They work like a local folder of contact cards, with the following exceptions: - - - Network folders are only available when you are connected to the network. If you use a laptop or have a modem connection, you might want to copy or cache some of the network directory. You do this by dragging and dropping your desired contacts into the local address books. - You can also mark the network folder for offline usage. To mark the folder, right-click the folder, click Properties and select Copy Folder Content Locally for Offline Operation. - - - To prevent excess network traffic, Evolution does not normally load data from the LDAP server upon opening. - - - Depending on your server settings, you might not be able to edit all the fields in a contact stored on an LDAP server. Some servers prohibit some or all changes, and others use a smaller set of fields than Evolution allows. Check with your system administrator if you need different settings. - - - -
- Configuring Evolution to use LDAP - For information about setting up Evolution to use LDAP, refer to Contact Management. -
-
- -
- Send Me a Card: Adding New Cards Quickly - When you get information about a person in the mail or in a calendar entry, you can add it to an address card. To do so, right-click any email address or email message, and click Add to Address Book on the menu that appears. If the sender already exists, the Editor button opens and you can edit the address card details. Evolution can also add cards from a hand-held device during a HotSync&z-3rdParty; operation. For more information, see Synchronizing Your Handheld Device. -

- Scheduling With the Evolution Calendar - There are two types of events you can schedule with Evolution: appointments and meetings. An appointment is an event you schedule for yourself only, and a meeting is an event that you schedule multiple people for. You can also use the busy/free search for meetings to determine the availability of invitees. - - - Appointments - - - Sending a Meeting Invitation - - - Accepting and Replying to a Meeting Request - - - Reading Responses to Meeting Requests - - - Tool Tip View - - - Using the Free/Busy View - - - Publishing Calendar and Free/Busy Information Without a Groupware Server - - - Accessing Free/Busy Data Without a Groupware Server - - - -
- Appointments - In Evolution, an appointment is an event you schedule for yourself. - - - Creating Appointments - - - Reminders - - - Classifications - - - Recurrence - - - -
- Creating Appointments - - - Click File > New > Appointment. - or - Click Calendars on the Switcher, then click File, then New > Appointment. - or - Double-click in a blank space on the calendar view to open an Appointment dialog box. The particular time on the calendar view against which you have double-clicked on will be suggested for the new appointment. - or - Select the required duration on the calendar view and enter the summary. - - - Select a calendar in the Calendar drop-down list. - Enter a brief summary in the Summary field. - - - - - (Optional) Type a location in the Location field. - - - Select the date and time. - - - Enter a brief summary in the Summary field. - - - To select this appointment as an all day event, click Options > All Day Event. - or - Click the All Day Event button on the toolbar. - - - If the event is an all day event, specify a starting date and an ending date. - - - If the event is not an all day event, specify a starting time and an ending time. - - - Select For to specify the duration. - or - Select Until to specify the ending time of the event. - - - Type the time zone information in the Time Zone field. - or - Click the globe to customize the time zone. - To hide or show the Time Zone field, click View > Time Zone. - - - To show the time as busy, click Options > Show Time as Busy. - - - (Optional) Type a category in the Categories field. - To show or hide the Categories field, click View > Categories. - - - (Optional) Enter a description in the Description field. - - - To create an alarm for this appointment, click Alarms on the toolbar, or click Options > Alarms. - Select Customize to add or remove customized alarms for the event. - For more information on reminders, see Reminders. - - - (Optional) To add an attachment, drag and drop the attachment into the attachment bar. - or - Click the Attach button on the toolbar, or click Insert > Attachment and then browse to the attachment. - - - (Optional) Click Options > Classifications, then select a classification (as Public, Private or Confidential). - - - (Optional) Click the Recurrence button on the toolbar. - or - Click Options > Recurrence, and specify whether you want the appointment to recur and how often. - - - -
- All Day Event - An All Day event appears at the top of a day's appointment list, in the header under the date, rather than inside. That makes it easy to have appointments that overlap and fit inside each other. For example, a conference might be an All Day appointment, and the meetings at the conference could be timed appointments. Appointments with specific starting and ending times can also overlap. When they do they display as multiple columns in the day view of the calendar. - If you create calendar appointments that overlap, Evolution displays them side by side in your calendar. - -
-
- -
- Reminders - You can have several Reminders for individual appointments, any time prior to the appointment you schedule. You can have one reminder of each of the following types: - - - - Display: - A notification pops up on your screen to remind you of your appointment. - - - - - Audio: - Your computer delivers a sound alarm. - - - - - Program: - You can run a program as a reminder. You can enter its name in the text field, or find it with the Browse button. - - - - Apart from the above notifications, the Evolution alarm icon blinks in the notification area. To pause the alarm or view the event, click the notification icon. - To create a reminder: - - - To create an alarm for this appointment, click Alarms on the toolbar, or click Options, then Alarms. - - - Select Customize to add or remove customized alarms for the event. - - - If you have stored reminders in a local calendar, they work from the moment you log in. However, for reminders stored on any remote server like GroupWise or Exchange which requires authentication, you must run Evolution at least once after logging in. No matter where the reminders are stored, you can quit Evolution and still be reminded of an upcoming appointment. -
- -
- Classifications - If you are using a calendar on a Novell GroupWise or Microsoft Exchange server, select a classification for the appointment to determine who can view it. Public is the default category, and a public appointment can be viewed by anyone on the calendar-sharing network. Private denotes one level of security, and Confidential an even higher level. The different levels vary depending on your server settings; check with your system administrator or adjust your delegation settings. - If you are using a Novell GroupWise or Microsoft Exchange server, other people on the server can check your schedule to see if you are available at any given time. If you have an appointment that is flexible or that you want to designate as Free rather than Busy time, select the Free box in the Show Time As section. Normally, appointments display as Busy. - You can categorize appointments in the same way you can categorize contacts. - - - (Optional) Type a category in the Categories field. - - - Select the check box next to each category that matches the appointment you are creating. - - - To show or hide the Categories field, click View > Categories. - - - - You can add a new category to your category list by clicking Edit Master Category List, then click Click Here To Add A Category. - - After you have selected your categories, click OK to assign these categories to the appointment. The categories you selected are now listed in the text box to the right of the Categories button. - Appointments with categories appear with icons in the calendar display, and you can also search for appointments by category. To display only the appointments in a particular category, select the corresponding category in the search bar at the top of the calendar. -
- -
- Recurrence - The Recurrence tool button lets you describe repetition in appointments ranging from once every day up to once every 100 years. You can then choose a time and date when the appointment stops recurring, and, under Exceptions, pick individual days when the appointment does not recur. Make your selections from left to right, and you form a sentence: Every two weeks on Monday and Friday until January 3, 2008 or Every month on the first Friday for 12 occurrences. - After you have finished settings, click the Save button in the toolbar to save and close the appointment editor window. If you want, you can alter an appointment summary in the calendar view by clicking it and typing. You can change other settings by right-clicking the appointment then choosing Open, or double-clicking the appointment. -

- Sending a Meeting Invitation - A meeting is an event you schedule for multiple people. Evolution can be used to schedule group meetings and help you manage responses to meeting requests. - When you create a meeting or group appointment, you can specify the attendees in several categories, such as chair or required. When you save the meeting listing, each attendee is sent an email with the meeting information, which also gives them the option to respond. - If you don't need to collect attendance information when you're scheduling an event, and would rather just announce the event, right-click the meeting and select Forward as iCalendar. This opens a new email message with the event notification attached as an announcement. Recipients can add the event to their calendars with one click, but it won't automatically send you email about whether they plan to attend. - To schedule a meeting: - - - Click File > New > Meeting. - - - If you have multiple email accounts, select the one to use by selecting an item in the Organizer field. - - - Select a calendar in the Calendar drop-down list. - - - Click Add to add the email addresses of people you want to invite. - - - To remove an attendee from the list, select an attendee and press Remove. - - - To edit a field, select the field and click Edit. - - - Click View on the menu bar to show or hide the Type, Role, Status, and RSVP fields. - - - Enter a brief summary in the Summary field. - - - (Optional) Type a location in the Location field. - - - To select this appointment as an all day event, click Options > All Day Event. - or - Click the All Day Event button on the toolbar. - - - If the event is an all day event, specify a starting date and an ending date. - - - If the event is not an all day event, specify a starting time and an ending time. - - - Select For to specify the duration. - or - Select Until to specify the ending time of the event. - - - Type the time zone information in the Time Zone field. - or - Click the globe to customize the time zone. - To hide or show the Time Zone field, click View > Time Zone. - - - To create an alarm for this appointment, click Alarms on the toolbar, or click Options > Alarms. - Select Customize to add or remove customized alarms for the event. - For more information on reminders, see Reminders. - - - (Optional) To add an attachment, drag and drop the attachment into the attachment bar. - or - Click the Attach button on the toolbar, or click Insert > Attachment and then browse to the attachment. - - - (Optional) Click Options > Classifications, then select a classification (as Public, Private or Confidential). - - - (Optional) Click the Recurrence button on the toolbar. - or - Click Options > Recurrence, and specify whether you want the appointment to recur and how often. - - - To query free/busy information for the attendees, click the Free/Busy button on the toolbar. - or - Click Options > Free/Busy. - - - Click Save to save the meeting. - - - An email is sent out to all the recipients, inviting them to your event. - - In Evolution, a meeting can have only one organizer, and only the organizer can add participants to that meeting. Though it is possible to change the organizer of a meeting, this is not recommended as a means to invite additional participants to meetings. If you want to invite additional people to a meeting and are not that meeting's organizer, it is recommended that you forward the invitation message you received from the original meeting organiser to additional participants. - -
- -
- Accepting and Replying to a Meeting Request - Meeting requests are sent as iCal attachments. To view or respond to one, click the attachment icon and view it inline in the mail window. All the details are shown about the event, including time and dates. Then you can choose how to reply to the invitation. Your choices are: - - - Accept - - - Tentatively Accept - - - Decline - - - Click OK to send an email to the organizer with your answer. The event is also added to your calendar if you accept. - After you add the meeting to your calendar, you can make changes to the information, but if the original organizer sends out another update, your changes might be overwritten. -
- -
- Reading Responses to Meeting Requests - When you get a reply to a meeting invitation you sent, you can view it inline by clicking the attachment and selecting View Inline. -
- -
- Tool Tip View - If you are in a hurry and you want to see the details of a meeting, mouse over the meeting in the calendar view. A tool tip appears with the details of the meeting. It will provide the agenda of the meeting, venue and time. If you are the organizer of the meeting, you can also view the status of the attendees, e.g. how many of them have accepted or declined the meeting request. -
- -
- Using the Free/Busy View - In addition to the standard meeting scheduling tools, you can use the Free/Busy view to check whether people are available in advance. The Free/Busy feature is normally a function of dedicated groupware servers such as Microsoft Exchange and Novell GroupWise. However, you can also publish Free/Busy information online, and access Free/Busy information published elsewhere. If not everyone you collaborate with publishes Free/Busy data, you can still use iCal event invitations to coordinate schedules with other people. - To access the free/busy view: - - - Click File > New > Meeting. - - - Click Add to add the email addresses of people you want to invite. - - - Click the Free/Busy button on the toolbar, or click Options > Free/Busy. - - - - Adjust the meeting time, either by dragging the meeting borders or by using the Autopick buttons to choose a time automatically, then click Save and Close. Attendees on an Exchange server have the appointment updated automatically; others receive email notification of any change in plans. - - - - Attendee List: - The Attendee List shows the people who have been invited to the appointment. - - - Schedule Grid: - The Schedule Grid shows the published Free/Busy information for the people you have invited. This is where you compare schedules to find free time to schedule the appointment. Individuals have visible scheduling information only if they use the same Novell GroupWise or Microsoft Exchange server you do (that is, if they are in the same organization as you), or if they publish free/busy information at a URL you can reach and you have entered that URL into their contact cards using the contact editor. - - -
- Publishing Calendar and Free/Busy Information Without a Groupware Server - You can publish Calendar and Free/Busy information to a WebDAV, FTP server, or remote machine through secure shell or other Web server with HTTP PUT support. Check with your system administrator if you are not sure you have this functionality. - To set up Calendar or Free/Busy publishing: - - - Click Edit > Preferences, then click Calendar and Tasks. - - - Click the Calendar Publishing tab, click Add, then select the information you want to publish. - - - Select the frequency with which you want to upload data. - - - Select the calendars you want to display data for. - - - Specify the publishing location for the upload server. - - - Type your username and password. - - - Click OK. - - - To immediately publish calendar information, go to the Calendar tool and click Actions > Publish Calendar Information. - - You can specify a template to use when posting to the Free/Busy server. - -
- -
- Accessing Free/Busy Data Without a Groupware Server - If individuals give you a URL for Free/Busy data or for their Web calendar, you can enter it as part of the contact information in the Contacts tool. Then, when you schedule a meeting with them, Evolution looks up the schedule and displays it in the Free/Busy data. -

- -
- Marking an Item Private - You can limit a proxy's access to individual items in your Mailbox or Calendar by marking items Private. - When you mark an item Private, you prevent unauthorized proxies from opening it. Proxies cannot access items marked Private unless you give them those rights in your Access List. - If you mark an item Private when you send it, neither your proxies nor the recipient's proxies can open the item without rights. If you mark an item Private when you receive it, it cannot be read by your unauthorized proxies, but it can be read by the sender's proxies. Appointments marked Private display in Busy Search according to the status you selected when you accepted the appointment. - - - In an open item, click Actions, then click Mark Private. - or - In your Calendar, click an item in the Appointments, Reminder Notes, or Tasks List, click Actions, then click Mark Private. - - -

This will make Evolution work faster and is generally recommended for common users. - - - Mailing List Headers: - Enable this option to have filters based on mailing list headers (like list ID) so that in addition to the basic headers, the headers that correspond to mailing-lists are also fetched. Mailing list headers will have the informations such as the mailinglist-ID, owner of the mailing list, and so on with which you can create mailing list filters. - - This is the default Header preference that comes with Evolution.

The default mail headers cannot be removed. - - Sender Photograph: - This feature adds support for viewing the photograph of the sender at the right side of the preview pane. - - To enable this feature, select Edit > Preferences > Mail Preferences > Headers > Show the photograph of sender in the email preview.

If there are multiple matches for the same contact, it always takes the first one. Consider a contact that has multiple matches - the first one with a photograph and the second without a photo. Here, Evolution takes the first contact regardless of it not having a photograph. - This feature is disabled by default as it causes delay in fetching the messages. - - Configurable Date and Time Format - Although Evolution components have a set of predefined date and time formats, an advanced user can write acceptable strftime, with new tag %ad for an abbreviated date to show in tables and date headers. - - -
- -
- Junk Mail Preferences - You can check your incoming messages for junk content by using Bogofilter and SpamAssassin&z-3rdParty; tools, which have trainable Bayesian filters.

When you select any option, it also reports if the underlying binary is available or not. - - - - SpamAssassin Options: - Remote Test performs junk mail filtering on remote servers. It also includes online tests, like checking for blacklisted message senders and ISPs. - - This option uses tests that require a network connection, such as checking to see if a message is in a list of known junk messages, or if the sender or gateway are blacklisted by anti-spam organizations. Online tests can make filtering slower, because remote tests add to the amount of time it takes to check for junk mail, but they increase accuracy. When you select this option, you do not need to do any additional setup. - - Bogofilter Options: - Select Convert mail text to Unicode to enable Unicode&z-3rdParty; filtering. For more information on Bogofilter, see the Bogofilter site. - - - Check new messages for junk contents option under Edit > Preferences > Mail Accounts > Edit > Receiving options is enabled only for IMAP.

Choose reply style from the drop-down list: Quote original message, Do not quote original message, Attach original message. - - Top Posting Options: - When replying, you can choose where to place your signature in the message. You can place the signature either above the original message or at the end of the composer window. Top Posting is not recommended because placing the signature other than at the end of the message is against the mailing standards. - - - Alerts: - There are two optional alerts you can select: - - - - - Prompt When Sending Messages With an Empty Subject Line: - The composer warns you if you try to send a message without a subject. - - - - - Prompt When Sending Messages with Only Bcc Recipients Defined: - The composer warns you if you try to send a message that has only Bcc recipients. This is important because some mail servers fail to transmit blind carbon copy if you do not have at least one recipient that is visible to all readers. - - - -
- -
- Signature - The signature editor allows you to create several different signatures in plain text or in HTML, and to specify which of them will be added to email you create in the message composer. If you prefer to use an alternate signature or none at all, you can select it from the mail composer itself. -
- -
- Spell Checking - To choose a spell-checking language, select it here.

- -
- Contact Management - There are two main tasks for configuring contact information: - - - Creating a Contact List - - - Creating an Address Book - - - -
- Creating a Contact List - To add a new contact list, either local or remote: - - - Click Contacts in the Switcher. - - - Click the down-arrow next to New. - - - Select Contact List. - - - Type a name for the contact list and choose an address book under "Where". - - - Click OK. - - -
- -
- Creating an Address Book - - - Click File > New > Address Book. - - - Select the type of Address Book. - - On This Computer: - Creates a local address book on the computer. - - - On LDAP Server: - Creates an address book on the LDAP server. - - - Specific Account: - If you have an account that allows you to create an address book on that server, you can select that account. - - - - If you selected On This Computer, specify the name of the address book, and choose whether you want to the new address book as your default folder. - or - If you are creating an address book on an LDAP server, enter the server information as requested by the assistant: - - Server Name: - The Internet address of the contact server you are using. - - - Login Method: - Specify whether your login is anonymous, uses an email address, or uses a distinguished name. If the login is not anonymous, specify the email address or distinguished name (DN) required by the server. - - - Port: - The Internet port Evolution connects to in order to access the LDAP database. This is normally 389. - - - Use SSL/TLS: - SSL and TLS are security mechanisms. If you select No Encryption, Evolution will send your password unencrypted. By using SSL or TLS, a secure connection will be used and your password will be sent encrypted. - - - Details: Search Base: - The search base is the starting point for a directory search. Contact your network administrator for information about the correct settings. - - - Search Scope: - The search scope is the breadth of a given search. The following options are available: - - - - - One: - Searches the Search Base and one entry below it. - - - - - Sub: - Searches the Search Base and all entries below it. - - - - - Timeout (minutes): - The maximum time Evolution attempts to download data from the server before giving up. - - - - - Download Limit: - The maximum number of results for a given search.

It can be any name you choose. - - - - - Search Filter: - The search filter can be set here for all the LDAP queries. For example: - - ObjectClass=*: Lists all the objects from the server.ObjectClass=User: Lists only the users. Filter (|(ObjectClass=User)(ObjectClass=groupOfNames)): Retrieves the User and Contact List objects.(&(mail=*)(ObjectClass=*)): Lists the objects associated with the email addresses. - - If you change any LDAP address book configurations, Evolution and the Evolution Data Server need to be restarted in order to see the changes. - - or - If you are creating the address book for a specific account, type the name of the address book if you want the address book stored locally when offline, and if you want the address book to be your default folder. - - - Click OK. - - -
-
- -
- Debug Logs - Evolution allows you to view the error logs and set the display duration for the error messages that appear in the statusbar. When an error occurs, statusbar displays the error message for the specified time, then it is moved to the debug file. - - - From the Help menu, select Debug Logs. - - - Specify for how long error messages will be displayed in the statusbar. - - - - The icon indicates that the error message is a warning. The icon indicates an informational message. - -
- - - - Synchronizing Your Handheld Device - Synchronization presents you with three issues you need to address. First, you need to enable synchronization. Second, your computer needs to recognize and access your handheld. At this time, Evolution only supports Palm OS devices like the PalmPilot&z-3rdParty; and the Handspring Visor. Third, you should decide what sort of synchronization behavior you want. - - - Enabling Synchronization - - - Selecting Conduits - - - Synchronizing Information - - - -
- Enabling Synchronization - If you haven't used a handheld device with your computer before, you need to run the GNOME Control Center by clicking System > Settings, and make sure that Pilot Link is properly configured. Make sure that you have read and write permissions on the device, which is normally in /dev/pilot. If that does not work, check in /dev/ttyS0 if you have a serial connection, or in /dev/ttyUSB1 for a USB connection. You can do this by becoming root and adding your username to the group that owns this device node. For a USB device on sync, two device nodes are created, ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB1. The second node is the one to be used in configuring the device. -
- -
- Selecting Conduits - After your computer and your Palm OS device are communicating, select the conduits you want under the Pilot Conduits section of the Control Center. You can use conduits to synchronize data with several applications; the Evolution conduits are labeled EAddress, for the contacts in your address book; ECalendar, for your calendar; and ETodo, for your task list. - Click Enable, then click Settings to change what the conduit does when activated. Your options can vary depending on the conduit, but typically they are as follows: - - Disabled: - Do nothing. - - - Synchronize: - Copy new data from the computer to the handheld, and from the handheld to the computer. Remove items that were on both systems but have been deleted on one. - - - Copy From Pilot: - If there is any new data on the handheld device, copy it to the computer. - - - Copy To Pilot: - Copy new data from the computer to the handheld. - - Select the behavior you want for each conduit you choose to use. If you're not sure, use Synchronize. -
- -
- Synchronizing Information - Use the following procedure to synchronize the data on your Palm OS device with the data you store in Evolution. - If you want to back up your information before synchronizing, make a copy of the .evolution directory inside your home directory. - - - Put your handheld device in its cradle and press the HotSync button. - If you use Palm OS v. 4.0 and have password protection turned on for your handheld device, you might encounter trouble synchronizing. If this happens, try turning off password protection on your handheld, synchronize it with your desktop computer, and then re-enable password protection on your handheld. - - - If you have followed the setup instructions properly, your Palm OS device will synchronize data with Evolution. -
- - - - Migration from Outlook to Evolution - If you are using Microsoft Outlook, but not Microsoft Exchange, this section helps you switch to Evolution. - -
- Migrating Local Outlook Mail Folders - Exchange and IMAP mail is stored on the server, so you do not need to migrate it to your Linux&z-3rdParty; partition. However, if you have stored mail on your computer, you might want to make it accessible to Evolution. - First, while using Windows, prepare your messages for import: - - - Clean up your mail. Delete messages and folders you do not need, and click File > Folders > Properties > Advanced > Compact to erase old, deleted messages from your PST file. - - - If you nest your folders one inside another, you might want to rename subfolders so that you can tell which folder they belong to. You must re-nest them after you load them into Evolution. - - - Import the files into Mozilla Mail (or another mailer, such as Netscape or Eudora, that uses the standard mbox format). - Linux mailers cannot do this task, because it requires a library available only under Windows. In Mozilla, import by selecting Window Mail & Newsgroups Tools Import. - - - Mozilla creates a set of files in the directory Windows\Application_Data\Mozilla\Profiles\(UserName)\(Random Letters)\Mail\Local Folders\OutlookMail\. The data files are those that have no file extension. - If you are using Windows Vista&z-3rdParty;, Windows XP&z-3rdParty; or Windows 2000&z-3rdParty;, your Windows hard drive is probably in the NTFS format, which some Linux systems cannot read without additional software. You might find it simpler to copy the mail folders to a different drive or to burn a CD. - When you have your mail in a format Evolution can understand, reboot to Linux. Then continue with the following procedure. To create new folders for your files: - - - Mount your Windows drive or the disk where you saved the mail files. - - - Copy all the mail files into your home directory or another convenient place. - - - Start Evolution. - - - Select File > New > Mail Folder to create the folders you want. - - - To import the data files: - - - In Evolution, open the File Import assistant by clicking File > Import. - - - Click Next, then select Import a single file. - - - Click on the filechooser to select the data file. - Remember, the data files are the files that have no file extension. - - - Select the folder where you want to put the imported data file. - - - Click OK. - - - Repeat the import steps until you have imported all your mail. - - -
- - - - Quick Reference - You can print this section to use it as a quick reference for most of the things you want to do with Evolution by selecting Help > Quick Reference in the Menubar. - - - - - Known Bugs and Limitations - Evolution bug tracking is done at the GNOME bug tracking System. You can use that, or the GNOME Bug Report Tool (known as bug-buddy at the command line) if you find bugs or want to request new features. - A complete list of feature requests and other issues with Evolution is available online in the GNOME bug tracking system. You can learn more about the Evolution development process at the Evolution Developer site. - - - - Authors - Evolution was written by the Evolution team and numerous other dedicated GNOME programmers. You can see their names by clicking Help > About from the main Evolution window. - The Evolution code owes a great debt to the GNOME-pim and GNOME-Calendar applications, and to KHTMLW. The developers of Evolution acknowledge the efforts and contributions of all who worked on those projects. - For more information please visit the Evolution Web page. Please send all comments, suggestions, and bug reports to the bug tracking database. Instructions for submitting bug reports can be found on-line at the same location.

Any file that can be run is called an executable. Evolution can download executable attachments, but before they can be run, the files must be marked as executable with a shell or file manager. This security precaution prevents the automatic or accidental execution of malicious programs. For more information on executables and file permissions, see the documentation for your file manager or shell. - - - - expunge - - When messages are marked for deletion, they remain until they are expunged. When a message is expunged, it is permanently deleted, as long as it was marked for deletion. - - - - file tree - - A way of describing a group of files on a computer. The top of the tree is called the root directory, and is denoted by /. The rest of the branches spread downward from the root.

Click FileImport.

 +

In the Importer Type tab, click Import a single file.

 +

Choose the Thunderbird files that you would like to import.

The file type will be automatically determined.

These steps refer to locally stored data such as POP accounts. For remote data (like IMAP) this is not necessary, since the data is still on the server and does not need to be manually transfered. You can set up the corresponding account in Evolution and the data will be downloaded.

+ +
+Prerequisites under Windows +

First, while using Microsoft Windows, prepare your messages for import:

+ +

Find your Outlook files (they normally have the file ending .pst or .ost):

+ + + + + + + + + + +

Windows 7, Windows Vista

Windows XP

Outlook 2010

C:\Users\username\My Documents\Outlook Files

C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\Outlook Files

Outlook 2007 and earlier

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook

C:\Documents and Settings\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook

+

(Replace "username" by your username.)

+ + +

Copy the Outlook files to the system or partition that Evolution is installed on.

+

As your Windows hard drive is probably in the NTFS format, some Linux systems cannot read it without additional software. You might find it simpler to copy the mail folders to a USB drive or to burn a CD.

 +

Mount your Windows drive or the disk where you saved the mail files.

 +

Copy all the mail files into your home directory or another convenient place.

 +

Start Evolution.

 +

Optionally select FileNewMail Folder to create the folders you want.

 + +
+ +
+Importing into Evolution + +

Click FileImport.

 +

In the Importer Type tab, click Import a single file.

 +

Choose the Outlook personal folders (.pst) file that you would like to import.

The file type will be automatically determined.

 +

If the option to import Outlook personal folders (.pst files) is not available under FileImportImport single fileFile type, your distribution might have not enabled this functionality.

 +

Choose the destination (e.g. the folder in Evolution) for the imported data.

 +

Repeat the import steps until you have imported all your data.

+ +
+Identity +

+

Optionally you can make this account your default account (e.g. when writing emails), set a Reply-To email address (if you want replies to messages sent to a different address), and set an organization (the company where you work, or the organization you represent when you send email from this account).

+
+ +

You will get asked whether to restore from a backup of a previous version. If you have such a backup, continue here. Otherwise, go to the next page.

+

If you receive an email message with one or more file attachments, Evolution displays the number of attachments and a Save or Save All button between the email header and the content of the email.

A list of attachments is also available at the bottom of the email.

+

To save an attachment to disk, click the down-arrow next to the attachment icon and click Save As.

+

To open an attachment in another application, click the down-arrow next to the attachment icon and choose one of the available applications.

+ + + + +Forwarding a message + +

When you receive an email, you can forward it to other individuals or groups that might be interested.

+

You can forward a message as an attachment to a new message (this is the default setting, see Default settings), inline (in your message without the > character before each line), or quoted (with > character before each line).

+

Attachment forwarding is best if you want to send the full, unaltered message to someone else. Inline or Quoted 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.

+ +

To forward a message that you are reading:

+ +

Click MessageForward, the Forward button in the toolbar, or press CtrlF to use the default forwarding method. In case you want to use a different forward method, click MessageForward as or the small dropdown arrow next to the Forward button in the toolbar to choose the method.

 +

Select a recipient for the message. The subject is already entered, although you can alter it if you want.

 +

Add your comments on the message in the text field.

 +

Click Send or press CtrlReturn.

 + + +

Attachments to a message you are forwarding are forwarded only when you send the original message as an attachment. Inline messages do not forward any attachments.

+ +
+Default settings +

The default settings for replying and forwarding can be changed under EditPreferencesComposer PreferencesGeneralReplies and ForwardsForward style.

+ + + +Formatting Text in HTML + + + +

HTML formatting tools are located in the two tool bars just above the area where you actually write the message. They also appear in the Insert and Format menus.

+

The icons in the tool bar are explained in tooltips which appear when you hold your mouse pointer over the buttons. The buttons fall into five categories:

+ +
+ Headers and Lists: +

At the left of the upper tool bar, you can choose Normal for a default text style or Header 1 through Header 6 for varying sizes of header from large (1) to tiny (6). Other styles include Preformat, to use the HTML tag for preformatted blocks of text, and three types of bullet points for lists.

+

For instance, instead of using asterisks to mark a bulleted list, you can use the Bulleted List style from the style dropdown list. Evolution uses different bullet styles, and handles word wrap and multiple levels of indentation.

+
+ +
+ Alignment: +

Located next to the Headers and Lists dropdown, the three paragraph icons should be familiar to users of most word processing software. The left-most button aligns your text to the left, the center button centers text, and the right button aligns the text to the right.

+
+ +
+ Indentation Rules: +

The button with the arrow pointing left decreases a paragraph's indentation, and the right arrow increases its indentation.

+
+ +
+ Text Styles: +

Use these buttons in the lower tool bar to determine the way your email looks. If you have text selected, the style applies to the selected text. If you do not have text selected, the style applies to whatever you type next.

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

TT

Typewriter text, which is similar to a monospace font.

Bold A

Italic A

Underlined A

Underlines the text.

Strike through A

+
+ +
+ Color Selection: +

At the left in the lower tool bar is the color section tool, where a box displays the current text color. To choose a new color, click the arrow button to the right. If you have text selected, the color applies to the selected text. If you do not have text selected, the color applies to whatever you type next. You can select a background color or image by right-clicking the message background, then selecting StylePage Style.

Normally, you cannot set text styles or insert pictures in email. However, most newer email programs can display images and text styles in addition to basic alignment and paragraph formatting. They do this with HTML, just like web pages do.

+ +

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. Because of this, Evolution sends plain text unless you explicitly ask for HTML.

+ +

You can change the format of an email message from plain text to HTML by choosing FormatHTML from the menu bar.

+

To send all your mail as HTML by default, enable EditPreferencesComposer PreferencesDefault BehaviorFormat messages in HTML.

Right-click the message you are replying to, then click Templates.

+

This option lists all the message templates in the Templates folder.

+ + +

When you select a message template for replying, the subject of the reply is preserved.

+Configuring Message Templates + +

Select EditPlugins.

 +

Click Templates.

 +

Click the Configuration tab.

 +

You can add, edit or remove the key-value pairs. You can specify any number of key-value pairs.

 + +

In any template, the occurrence of every $key is replaced by the value it has in the configuration. For example, if you set the key to Manager and the value to Harry, any occurrence of $Manager is replaced by Harry in the message.

+

Assume that you have 1000 message templates with your current manager's name in them. When the current manager is replaced by a new one, it is not easy for you to manually replace the manager's name in all the 1000 messages. If the messages have a $Manager key value, you can reset the value in the Configuration tab of this plugin.

+

By default, the entire environment variables are used as a key-value pair. An occurrence of $env_variable is replaced by the value it carries. For example, an occurrence of $PATH in your template is replaced by its value when the template is used.

+

The replacement process uses the following order of precedence:

+ + +

$key is replaced by the value set for it in the Configuration tab of the Templates plugin.

+ + +

If the key is not found, it is then replaced with the value of its environment variable.

+ + +

If key is neither a configuration option nor an environment variable, no changes are made.

+Replying to Email Messages +

To reply to a message, select the message to reply to in the message list and click the Reply button in the toolbar, or right-click within the message and select Reply to Sender. This opens the message composer. The To: and Subject: fields are already filled, although you can alter them if you prefer. In addition, the full text of the old message is inserted into the new message, either in grey with a blue line on one side (for HTML display) or with the > character before each line (in plain text mode), to indicate that it is part of the previous message.

+

If you are reading a message with several recipients, you can use Reply to All instead of Reply. If there are large numbers of people in the Cc: or To: fields, this can save substantial amounts of time.

+
+ +
+Using the Reply To All Feature +

Susan sends an email to a client and sends copies to Tim and to an internal company mailing list of co-workers. If Tim wants to make a comment for all of them to read, he uses Reply to All, but if he just wants to tell Susan that he agrees with her, he uses Reply. His reply does not reach anyone that Susan put on her Bcc list, because that list is not shared with anyone.

+

If you subscribe to a mailing list, and want your reply to go just to the list rather than to the sender, select Reply to List instead of Reply or Reply to All.

To send a message to more than one person, enter the addresses in the composer by seperating them with commas or semicolons.

+ +
+Recipient types +

Email messages can have three different types of recipients. The simplest way is to put the email address or addresses in the To: text field. The Cc: text field is used for recipients that are meant to receive a copy of your message but are not the primary recipients.

+ +

Addresses in the Bcc: text field are hidden from the other recipients of the message. It can be used to send mail to large groups of people, especially if they do not know each other or if privacy is a concern. If the Bcc: text field is not shown, click ViewBcc Field.

+
+ +
+Autocompletion +

It is recommended to use the Autocompletion feature of the Evolution address book for entering addresses. By using this you avoid typos and save time.

+
+ +

Instead of typing the recipients' names you can also click the To:, Cc:, or Bcc: buttons to get a list of the email addresses in your address books. Select the addresses and click the arrow buttons to move them into the appropriate address columns (To:, Cc:, Bcc:).

+
+ +

If you frequently write email to the same groups of people, you can create contact lists to send them mail as though they have a single address.

Some images are links in a message, rather than being part of the message. Evolution can download those images from the Internet, but does not do so unless you request it.

+ + + + + Creating a GPG key + +These steps are very technical. For average users we nowadays recommend using the Seahorse application for managing GPG keys. + + +

Before you can get or send GPG encrypted mail, you need to generate your public and private keys with GPG.

+ +

Open a terminal window and enter gpg --gen-key.

 +

Select an algorithm, then press Enter.

 +

Select a key length, then press Enter.

 +

Enter how long your key should be valid for.

 +

Type your real name, then press Enter.

 +

Type your email address, then press Enter.

 +

(Optional) Type a comment, then press Enter.

 +

Review your selected user ID. If it is correct, press O.

 +

Type a passphrase, then press Enter.

 +

Move your mouse randomly to generate the keys.

 + + +

After the keys are generated, you can view your key information by entering gpg --list-keys. You should see something similar to this: /home/you/.gnupg/pubring.gpg ---------------------------- pub 1024D/32j38dk2 2001-06-20 you <you@example.com> sub 1024g/289sklj3 2011-06-20 [expires: 2012-11-14]

+

GPG creates one list, or keyring, for your public keys and one for your private keys. All the public keys you know are stored in the file ~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg. If you want to give other people your key, send them that file.

+

If you want, you can upload your keys to a key server:

+ +

Check your public key ID with gpg --list-keys. It is the string after 1024D on the line beginning with pub. In the example above, it is 32j38dk2.

 +

Enter the command gpg --send-keys --keyserver wwwkeys.pgp.net 32j38dk2. Substitute your key ID for 32j38dk2. You need your password to do this.

 + + +

Key servers store your public keys for you so that your friends can decrypt your messages. If you choose not to use a key server, you can manually send your public key, include it in your signature file, or put it on your own Web page. However, it is easier to publish a key once, and then let people download it from a central place when they want.

+

If you don't have a key to unlock or encrypt a message, you can set your encryption tool to look it up automatically. If it cannot find the key, an error message appears.

If the error message: Error while Expunging folder. Error storing `~/.local/share/evolution/mail/local/Inbox (mbox)': Summary and folder mismatch, even after a sync. pops up, perform the following steps:

+ +

These steps apply to the versions 3.0 and 3.2. Note that Evolution's file locations in 2.30 and 2.32 are different (~/.evolution/mail/local/ instead of ~/.local/share/evolution/mail/local/).

 + + +

Open the Terminal application (category System Tools) and type in the command evolution --force-shutdown. This command stops Evolution and all the processes related to it.

 +

Remove the files ending in:

+ +

.ev-summary

 +

.ibex.index

 + +

To do this, navigate to the hidden directory ~/.local/share/evolution/mail/local/ and locate the specified files. You can do this in the GNOME File Manager (Nautilus) by either showing hidden files, or by entering the directory via GoLocation... from the menu bar.

+ + +

Restart Evolution. Note that restarting the application may take some time since it will need to rebuild the indexes deleted in the previous step.

 + + + +

You may lose your mail labels when performing this operation.

+ + + +

This problem is expected to be fixed in version 3.0 according to the corresponding bug report. Please add a comment if this is not the case.

This error message may be displayed for a number of reasons:

+ + + +

The filters used do not match the account they are associated with.

+

This happens when the filters.xml file is copied and used on a fresh install of Evolution on a new machine.

+

Accounts have unique ID numbers, and filters refer to these accounts directly. Simply copying the filters.xml file will cause a version mismatch with Evolution, affecting the filter rules.

+ + +

The account settings may not have been copied properly.

 +

The account settings were modified.

 + + +

To fix this problem, edit the email filters and re-select the folder for each Copy/Move filter. To do this:

Go to EditMessage Filters.

 +

Select the Copy/Move filter and click Edit.

 +

Refer to the list of folders associated with that particular filter. Click on the button that allows you to modify the folders assigned for that filter. Set the folders again.

Sender:

+

The sender's email address or the name of the sender.

 + +

Recipients:

+

The recipients of the message.

 + +

CC:

+

Only the CC recipients of the message.

 + +

BCC:

+

Only the BCC recipients of the message. Obviously this can only be applied to outgoing filters.

 + +

Sender or Recipients:

+

The sender's email address or the name of the sender or the recipients of the message.

 + +

Subject:

+

The subject line of the message.

 + +

Specific Header:

+

Any header including custom ones.

+

If a message uses a header more than once, Evolution pays attention only to the first instance, even if the message defines the header differently the second time. For example, if a message declares the Resent-From: header as "engineering@example.com" and then restates it as "marketing@example.com", Evolution filters as though the second declaration did not occur. To filter on messages that use headers multiple times, use a regular expression.

 + +

Message Body:

+

Searches in the actual text of the message.

 + +

Expression:

+

(For programmers only) Match a message according to an expression you write in the Scheme language used to define filters in Evolution.

 + +

Date sent:

+

Filters messages according to the date on which they were sent. First, choose the conditions you want a message to meet, such as before a given time or after a given time. Then choose the time. The filter compares the message's time stamp to the system clock when the filter is run, or to a specific time and date you choose from a calendar. You can also have it look for a message within a range of time relative to the filter, such as two to four days ago.

 + +

Date received:

+

This works the same way as the Date Sent option, except that it compares the time you received the message with the dates you specify.

 + +

Label:

+

Messages can have labels of Important, Work, Personal, To Do, or Later. You can set labels with other filters or manually.

 + +

Score:

+

Sets the message score to any whole number greater than 0. You can have one filter set or change a message score, and then set up another filter to move the messages you have scored. A message score is not based on anything in particular: it is simply a number you can assign to messages so other filters can process them.

 + +

Size (kB):

+

Sorts based on the size of the message in kilobytes.

 + +

Status:

+

Filters according to the status of a message. The status can be Replied To, Draft, Important, Read, or Junk.

 + +

Follow Up:

+

Checks whether the message is flagged for follow-up.

 + +

Completed On:

 + +

Attachments:

+

Checks whether there is an attachment for the email.

 + +

Mailing List

+

Filters based on the mailing list the message came from. This filter might miss messages from some list servers, because it checks for the X-BeenThere header, which is used to identify mailing lists or other redistributors of mail. Mail from list servers that do not set X-BeenThere properly are not be caught by these filters.

 + +

Regex Match:

+

(For programmers only) If you know your way around a regex, or regular expression, this option allows you to search for complex patterns of letters, so that you can find, for example, all words that start with a and end with m, and are between six and fifteen letters long, or all messages that declare a particular header twice. For information about how to use regular expressions, check the man page for the grep command.

 + +

Source Account:

+

Filters messages according the server you got them from. This is most useful if you use multiple POP mail accounts.

 + +

Pipe to Program:

+

Evolution can use an external command to process a message, then process it based on the return value. Commands used in this way must return an integer. This is most commonly used to add an external junk mail filter.

 + +

Junk Test:

+

Filters based on the results of the junk mail test.

+ + + + +Mail filters are not working +

Your mail filters are probably working, however, they could be ordered in an inefficient way. This will make your filters run slowly, so it may seem like they are not working.

+ +

The order of email filters is very important. If your first filter has a Stop Processing rule, then all the email messages that match this filter will ignore all the succeeding filters.

+ +

To check if a filter has a Stop Processing rule:

+ + +

Go to EditMessage Filters.

 +

Select the filter and refer to the list of actions for that particular filter.

+

The Stop Processing rule should be listed under the list of Actions if it is enabled.

+ + + +

Another thing you have to keep in mind is that filters depend on the "new" flag that is set when a particular email message is initially fetched from the server. If you use another email client aside from Evolution, your filters may not work automatically.

+ + +

Applying the Stop Processing rule to an email message will cause all succeeding filters to ignore that message.

Evolution, like most mail systems, uses folders to store email messages. You start out with a few mail folders such as the Inbox, Outbox, and Drafts. You can, however, create more folders if required.

+ +
+Creating A Folder +

To create a folder:

+ +

Click on Folder and select New. You can also right-click anywhere on the folder list and select the New Folder option.

 +

Specify the name and the location of the folder.

 +

Click on the Create button.

+ +

The new folder will be shown in the folder view. You can then move messages into the folder.

+
+ +
+Moving Messages to New Folders +

You can move messages into folders by using one of the following methods:

+ +

Drag and drop the messages into the folder.

 +

Right-click on the message and select the Move to Folder option.

 +

Select a message and press ShiftCtrlV.

 +

Select a message and click on MessageMove to Folder.

 + + +

+ +

Moving files can be done automatically by setting up filters.

 + +
+ + +

The Inbox folders on most IMAP servers cannot contain both messages and subfolders. When creating additional folders on your IMAP mail server, branch the folders from the root of the IMAP account and not from the Inbox. Creating subfolders in your Inbox may prevent you from reading messages that exist in the Inbox. If this happens, move the folders to the IMAP account.

 + +

You can also do this by selecting the message(s) and clicking MessageMark asFollow Up... or by pressing ShiftCtrlG.

+ +

A window opens to allow you to set the type of flag and the due date.

+ +

The flag itself is the action you want to remind yourself about, such as Call, Forward and Reply.

+ +

After you have added a flag, you can mark it as complete or remove it entirely by right-clicking the message and clicking either Flag Completed or Clear Flag.

+ +

When you read a flagged message, its flag status is displayed at the top, before the message headers. An overdue message might tell you "Overdue: Call by April 07, 2012, 5:00 PM."

+ +

Flags can help you organize your work in a number of ways. For example, you might add a Flag Status column to your message list and sort that way. Alternately, you could create a search folder that displays all your flagged messages, then clear the flags when you're done, so the search folder contains only messages with upcoming deadlines.

If you prefer a simpler way to remind yourself about messages, you can mark them as important by right-clicking the message, then click Mark as Important, or by selecting MessageMark asImportant from the menubar.

Evolution allows you for IMAP accounts to choose the headers that you want to download so that you can reduce the download time and filter or move your mail around the way you like it. The IMAP Mail header options are as follows:

+ +

Fetch All Headers:

All available IMAP mail headers for all the messages will be downloaded.

 +

Basic Headers (Fastest):

This will include Date, From, To, CC, Subject, Preferences, In-Reply-To, Message-ID, Mime-Version, and Content-Type. If you want to just fetch and see messages without having to categorically filter messages based on your mailing lists, choose this option. This will make Evolution work faster and is generally recommended for common users.

 +

Basic and Mailing List Headers (Default):

Enable this option to have filters based on mailing list headers (like list ID) so that in addition to the basic headers, the headers that correspond to mailing-lists are also fetched. Mailing list headers will have the informations such as the mailinglist-ID, owner of the mailing list, and so on with which you can create mailing list filters.

This is the default Header preference that comes with Evolution. When this option is chosen, Evolution will download a basic set of headers (as described above) along with a set of headers that are needed for client-side filters based on mailing lists. If you do not have any filters on Evolution, it is recommended to switch to the Basic Headers option.

 + + +

To set the IMAP Mail headers:

+ +

Select EditPreferencesMail Accounts.

 +

Select the IMAP account.

 +

Click Edit.

 +

Click the IMAP Headers tab.

+ + + + +Read receipts for emails + +

Read receipts are a way for people to acknowledge that they have received your email. The recipient can normally choose whether to acknowledge the receipt or not, so they are not a completely reliable way of checking if your emails have been received by someone.

+ +

You can request read receipts by enabling this option in the email composer's menu. To do so, go to OptionsRequest Read Receipt.

+ +

For read receipts that you receive you can define Evolution's behavior by going to EditPreferencesMail AccountsEditDefaultsMessage Receipts.

+ + + + +Using shortcut keys to read mail + +
+Viewing an email +

In the Mail window you read a message by selecting it in the message list. If you would like to see the message in its own window, either double-click it, press Enter, or press CtrlO.

+
+ +
+Navigating in a message +

To read mail with the keyboard, you can click the Spacebar to page down and press Backspace to page up while reading an email. Ensure that you use the keys when the message list is focused.

+
+ +
+Navigating in a folder in the message list +

Navigate in the message list by using the arrow keys on the keyboard.

+
+ +
+Navigating in a folder's unread mail in the message list +

To go to the next or previous unread messages, press the period (.) or comma (,) keys. On some keyboards, these keys are also marked with the > and < symbols, which is a convenient way to remember that they move you forward and backward in your message list. You can also use the right square bracket (]) for the next unread message, and the left square bracket ([) for the previous unread message.

+
+ +
+Navigating in unread mail across folders + +

You can easily read the unread messages in all the mail folders by using the Spacebar.

+ +

When you are in the Mail window, the Spacebar has the following behavior:

+ +

When you press the Spacebar for the first time, it takes you to the next unread message.

 +

If the message is more than one screen long, the Spacebar works as Page Down.

 +

If you press the Spacebar after you reach the bottom of the page, it takes you to the next unread message.

 +

If there are no more unread messages in the mailbox, pressing the Spacebar takes you to the next unread message in the next folder.

 +

If new messages arrive in a number of folders, the Spacebar toggles between those folders. This feature allows you to switch to the next unread message in a different folder without clicking the folder.

For example, if a message declares the Resent-From: header as "engineering@example.com" and then restates it as "marketing@example.com", Evolution filters as though the second declaration did not occur. To filter on messages that use headers multiple times, use a regular expression.

 + +

Message Body:

+

Searches in the actual text of the message.

 + +

Expression:

+

(For programmers only) Match a message according to an expression you write in the Scheme language used to define filters in Evolution.

 + +

Date sent:

+

Filters messages according to the date on which they were sent. First, choose the conditions you want a message to meet, such as before a given time or after a given time. Then choose the time. The filter compares the message's time stamp to the system clock when the filter is run, or to a specific time and date you choose from a calendar. You can also have it look for a message within a range of time relative to the filter, such as two to four days ago.

 + +

Date received:

+

This works the same way as the Date Sent option, except that it compares the time you received the message with the dates you specify.

 + +

Label:

+

Messages can have labels of Important, Work, Personal, To Do, or Later. You can set labels with other filters or manually.

 + +

Score:

+

Sets the message score to any whole number greater than 0. You can have one filter set or change a message score, and then set up another filter to move the messages you have scored. A message score is not based on anything in particular: it is simply a number you can assign to messages so other filters can process them.

 + +

Size (kB):

+

Sorts based on the size of the message in kilobytes.

 + +

Status:

+

Filters according to the status of a message. The status can be Replied To, Draft, Important, Read, or Junk.

 + +

Follow Up:

+

Checks whether the message is flagged for follow-up.

 + +

Completed On:

 + +

Attachments:

+

Checks whether there is an attachment for the email.

 + +

Mailing List

+

Filters based on the mailing list the message came from. This filter might miss messages from some list servers, because it checks for the X-BeenThere header, which is used to identify mailing lists or other redistributors of mail. Mail from list servers that do not set X-BeenThere properly are not be caught by these filters.

 + +

Regex Match:

+

(For programmers only) If you know your way around a regex, or regular expression, this option allows you to search for complex patterns of letters, so that you can find, for example, all words that start with a and end with m, and are between six and fifteen letters long, or all messages that declare a particular header twice. For information about how to use regular expressions, check the man page for the grep command.

+ + + + Using Search folders + +

If filters are not flexible enough, or you find yourself performing the same search again and again, consider a search folder.

+ +

A search folder looks like a folder, it acts like a search, and you set it up like a filter. While a conventional folder actually contains messages, a search folder is a view of messages that might be in several different folders. The messages it contains are determined on the fly using a set of criteria that you have chosen when setting up the search folder.

+ +

Evolution automatically updates the search folder contents when new messages are received or message are deleted.

+ +

The Unmatched search folder is the opposite of other search folders: it displays all messages that do not appear in other search folders.

+ +

If you use remote email storage like IMAP, and have created search folders to search through them, the Unmatched search folder also searches the remote folders. If you do not create any search folders that search remote mail stores, the Unmatched search folder does not search in them either.

+ + + + +Marking Junk Mail +

Evolution can check for junk mail for you. Evolution uses SpamAssassin and/or Bogofilter with trainable Bayesian filters to perform the spam check. When the software detects mail that appears to be junk mail, it will flag it and hide it from your view. Messages that are flagged as junk mail are displayed only in the Junk folder.

+

The junk mail filter can learn which kinds of mail are legitimate and which are not if you train it by marking as junk incoming mail that you determine is spam. When you first start using junk mail blocking, check the Junk folder frequently to be sure that legitimate mail doesn't get flagged as junk mail.

+

If legitimate mail is incorrectly flagged, remove it from the Junk folder by right-clicking it and selecting Mark as Not Junk or pressing ShiftCtrlJ. If Evolution misses junk mail, right-click the message, then click Mark as Junk or press CtrlJ. When you correct it, the filter can recognize similar messages in the future, and becomes more accurate as time goes on.

+

You can also flag mail as junk by selecting it and clicking the Junk icon in the menu bar; you can flag mail in the junk folder as "Not Junk" by selecting it and clicking the Not Junk icon.

+

Each time you flag a message as Junk, the sender is added to your Spam List; each time you flag a message as Not Junk, the sender is removed from your Spam List.

+Automatic Network State Handling +

Evolution automatically understands the network state and acts accordingly. For instance, Evolution switches to offline mode when the network goes down and automatically switches on when the network is up again. Ensure that your system has Network Manager installed on to enable this feature.

GNOME, by default, has a notification area which includes an applet that informs users of any system updates, changes, or events. This includes the arrival of email messages on Evolution. You can refer to this built-in feature of GNOME for any email notifications.

+ +

In GNOME version 2 you may modify the notification area and set it up to become a system tray by using external software such as Alltray that might be available for installation in the software management tool of your distribution. This is not possible in GNOME 3 anymore.

If you do not need help for configuration but you are sure that you have found a bug in the Evolution software, or if you want to request a feature you can file a bug report in the GNOME bug tracking system. Note that this requires registration first. Please try to avoid filing duplicates and check the bug writing guidelines first.

Also note that GNOME distributions sometimes introduce their own changes in Evolution that are not included in GNOME Evolution. This is hard to recognize for users but if you are aware of it please file a bug report in the bug tracker of your GNOME distribution instead.

+ + + + + Synchronize <em>Evolution</em> with other devices + +

There are currently no "recommended instructions" for users.

+ +

Many distributions provide the application SyncEvolution that can be used in combination with devices that support SyncML.

+ +

Another option might be to use applications and devices that both support the ActiveSync protocol. A list of collaborative software is available on Wikipedia.

+ +

If you can provide good practices or more information on this topic feel free to file a bug report in GNOME's bug tracking system.

+ +
+ Palm +

To synchronize with a Palm OS device like the PalmPilot(TM) and the Handspring Visor several steps are needed: First, you need to enable synchronization. Second, your computer needs to recognize and access your handheld. Third, you should decide what sort of synchronization behavior you want.

+
+ Enabling Synchronization +

If you have not used a handheld device with your computer before, you need to configure it via EditGNOME Pilot Synchronization.... Make sure that you have read and write permissions on the device, which is normally in /dev/pilot. If that does not work, check in /dev/ttyS0 if you have a serial connection, or in /dev/ttyUSB1 for a USB connection. You can do this by becoming root user and adding your username to the group that owns this device node. For a USB device on sync, two device nodes are created, ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB1. The second node is the one to be used in configuring the device.

+
+
+ Selecting Conduits +

After your computer and your Palm OS device are communicating, select the conduits you want under the Pilot Conduits section. You can use conduits to synchronize data with several applications; the Evolution conduits are labeled EAddress for the contacts in your address book; ECalendar for your calendar; and ETodo for your task list.

+

Click Enable, then click Settings to change what the conduit does when activated. Your options can vary depending on the conduit, but typically they are as follows:

+ +

Disabled: Do nothing.

 +

Synchronize: Copy new data from the computer to the handheld, and from the handheld to the computer. Remove items that were on both systems but have been deleted on one.

 +

Copy From Pilot: If there is any new data on the handheld device, copy it to the computer.

 +

Copy To Pilot: Copy new data from the computer to the handheld.

 + +

Select the behavior you want for each conduit you choose to use. If you're not sure, use Synchronize.

+
+ +
+ Synchronizing Information +

Use the following procedure to synchronize the data on your Palm OS device with the data you store in Evolution.

+ +

If you want to back up your information before synchronizing, make a copy of the .local/share/evolution directory inside your home directory.

 +

Put your handheld device in its cradle and press the HotSync button.

 +

If you use Palm OS version 4.0 and have password protection turned on for your handheld device, you might encounter trouble synchronizing. If this happens, try turning off password protection on your handheld, synchronize it with your desktop computer, and then re-enable password protection on your handheld.

 + +

Now your Palm OS device will synchronize data with Evolution.

+ + + + +Using Categories + +

Another way to group contacts, appointments, tasks and memos (summarized by the term "objects" in the following text) is to mark them as belonging to different categories. You can mark an object as being in several categories or no category at all. For example in your address book, you put a friend in the "Business" category because he works with you and the "Friends" category because he is a friend.

+ +
+Setting categories for an object + +

To mark an object as belonging to a category,

+ +

Double-click the object to bring up the corresponding editor.

 +

Click Categories.... (If this button is not available, select ViewCategories.)

 +

Select the category from the list. You can select as many or as few categories as you like.

 + + +
+ +
+Adding and managing categories + +

If the default list of categories does not suit your needs, you can add your own categories either directly via EditAvailable Categories, or indirectly when editing an object:

+ +

Double-click any object to bring up th corresponding editor.

 +

Click Categories.... (If this button is not available, select ViewCategories.)

 +

Enter the new category in the entry box at the top.

 +

Click OK.

 +

You can now see the category in the Categories text field in the editor.

 +

Click OK.

 + + +

In the Categories Editor you can edit or set the color and icon for each category available by clicking Edit at the bottom of the Categories window. Press Delete to delete categories from the list.

+
+ +

To display only the objects in a particular category, select the corresponding category in the quick search bar.
