From fab377c503df250439b84aba95db023786d33ee1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Aaron Weber Date: Mon, 4 Nov 2002 22:41:05 +0000 Subject: All sgml files replaced with xml files. XML files validated. Two new XML 2002-11-04 Aaron Weber * C/*.sgml: All sgml files replaced with xml files. XML files validated. Two new XML files added: apx-fdl.xml and legal.xml * C/evolution-C.omf: Altered to fit the GDP template. This may now work with the GNOME 2.0 DTD, although I could be wrong. * sgmldocs.make: removed and replaced with xmldocs.make. This will break all translations until they are also ported to XML. I will probably begin doing that tomorrow, since it's just markup and not language stuff. * C/Makefile.am: added two files to the list. Does this Makefile get included in another, somewhere, or is it just detected? svn path=/trunk/; revision=18538 --- help/C/Makefile.am | 40 +- help/C/apx-authors.sgml | 72 -- help/C/apx-authors.xml | 72 ++ help/C/apx-bugs.sgml | 30 - help/C/apx-bugs.xml | 30 + help/C/apx-fdl.xml | 667 ++++++++++++ help/C/apx-gloss.sgml | 480 --------- help/C/apx-gloss.xml | 480 +++++++++ help/C/config-prefs.sgml | 908 ----------------- help/C/config-prefs.xml | 908 +++++++++++++++++ help/C/config-sync.sgml | 138 --- help/C/config-sync.xml | 138 +++ help/C/evolution-C.omf | 18 +- help/C/evolution.sgml | 126 --- help/C/evolution.xml | 107 ++ help/C/legal.xml | 75 ++ help/C/menuref.sgml | 421 -------- help/C/menuref.xml | 421 ++++++++ help/C/preface.sgml | 362 ------- help/C/preface.xml | 362 +++++++ help/C/usage-calendar.sgml | 757 -------------- help/C/usage-calendar.xml | 757 ++++++++++++++ help/C/usage-contact.sgml | 571 ----------- help/C/usage-contact.xml | 571 +++++++++++ help/C/usage-exchange.sgml | 748 -------------- help/C/usage-exchange.xml | 748 ++++++++++++++ help/C/usage-exec-summary.sgml | 323 ------ help/C/usage-exec-summary.xml | 323 ++++++ help/C/usage-mail-org.sgml | 1129 -------------------- help/C/usage-mail-org.xml | 1129 ++++++++++++++++++++ help/C/usage-mail.sgml | 2209 ---------------------------------------- help/C/usage-mail.xml | 2209 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ help/C/usage-mainwindow.sgml | 1512 --------------------------- help/C/usage-mainwindow.xml | 1516 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ help/C/usage-print.sgml | 115 --- help/C/usage-print.xml | 115 +++ help/C/usage-sync.xml | 39 + 37 files changed, 10701 insertions(+), 9925 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 help/C/apx-authors.sgml create mode 100644 help/C/apx-authors.xml delete mode 100644 help/C/apx-bugs.sgml create mode 100644 help/C/apx-bugs.xml create mode 100644 help/C/apx-fdl.xml delete mode 100644 help/C/apx-gloss.sgml create mode 100644 help/C/apx-gloss.xml delete mode 100644 help/C/config-prefs.sgml create mode 100644 help/C/config-prefs.xml delete mode 100644 help/C/config-sync.sgml create mode 100644 help/C/config-sync.xml delete mode 100644 help/C/evolution.sgml create mode 100644 help/C/evolution.xml create mode 100644 help/C/legal.xml delete mode 100644 help/C/menuref.sgml create mode 100644 help/C/menuref.xml delete mode 100644 help/C/preface.sgml create mode 100644 help/C/preface.xml delete mode 100644 help/C/usage-calendar.sgml create mode 100644 help/C/usage-calendar.xml delete mode 100644 help/C/usage-contact.sgml create mode 100644 help/C/usage-contact.xml delete mode 100644 help/C/usage-exchange.sgml create mode 100644 help/C/usage-exchange.xml delete mode 100644 help/C/usage-exec-summary.sgml create mode 100644 help/C/usage-exec-summary.xml delete mode 100644 help/C/usage-mail-org.sgml create mode 100644 help/C/usage-mail-org.xml delete mode 100644 help/C/usage-mail.sgml create mode 100644 help/C/usage-mail.xml delete mode 100644 help/C/usage-mainwindow.sgml create mode 100644 help/C/usage-mainwindow.xml delete mode 100644 help/C/usage-print.sgml create mode 100644 help/C/usage-print.xml create mode 100644 help/C/usage-sync.xml (limited to 'help/C') diff --git a/help/C/Makefile.am b/help/C/Makefile.am index 8b75954a13..dcd4722512 100644 --- a/help/C/Makefile.am +++ b/help/C/Makefile.am @@ -29,26 +29,28 @@ figs = \ figures/small_desktop.png \ figures/summary.png \ figures/vfolder-createrule-fig.png - +figdir = figures docname = evolution lang = C omffile = evolution-C.omf -sgml_ents = \ - apx-authors.sgml \ - apx-bugs.sgml \ - apx-gloss.sgml \ - config-prefs.sgml \ - config-sync.sgml \ - menuref.sgml \ - preface.sgml \ - usage-calendar.sgml \ - usage-contact.sgml \ - usage-exec-summary.sgml \ - usage-exchange.sgml \ - usage-mail-org.sgml \ - usage-mail.sgml \ - usage-mainwindow.sgml \ - usage-print.sgml \ - usage-sync.sgml -include $(top_srcdir)/help/sgmldocs.make +entities = \ + apx-authors.xml \ + apx-bugs.xml \ + apx-gloss.xml \ + config-prefs.xml \ + config-sync.xml \ + menuref.xml \ + preface.xml \ + usage-calendar.xml \ + usage-contact.xml \ + usage-exec-summary.xml \ + usage-exchange.xml \ + usage-mail-org.xml \ + usage-mail.xml \ + usage-mainwindow.xml \ + usage-print.xml \ + usage-sync.xml \ + legal.xml \ + apx-fdl.xml \ +include $(top_srcdir)/help/xmldocs.make dist-hook: app-dist-hook diff --git a/help/C/apx-authors.sgml b/help/C/apx-authors.sgml deleted file mode 100644 index 0b0944b97d..0000000000 --- a/help/C/apx-authors.sgml +++ /dev/null @@ -1,72 +0,0 @@ - - Authors - - Evolution was written by the Ximian - Evolution team and numerous other dedicated GNOME programmers. - You can see their names by selecting - Help About - from any Evolution window. - - - The Evolution code owes a great debt - to the GNOME-pim and - GNOME-Calendar applications, and to - KHTMLW.

+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this + license document, but changing it is not allowed. + + + + GNU Free Documentation License + + + 0. PREAMBLE + + The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or + other written document free in the sense of + freedom: to assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and + redistribute it, with or without modifying it, either + commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily, this License + preserves for the author and publisher a way to get credit for + their work, while not being considered responsible for + modifications made by others. + + + + This License is a kind of copyleft, which means + that derivative works of the document must themselves be free in + the same sense. It complements the GNU General Public License, + which is a copyleft license designed for free software. + + + + We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for + free software, because free software needs free documentation: a + free program should come with manuals providing the same + freedoms that the software does. But this License is not limited + to software manuals; it can be used for any textual work, + regardless of subject matter or whether it is published as a + printed book. We recommend this License principally for works + whose purpose is instruction or reference. + + + + 1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS + + This License applies to any manual or other work that contains a + notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be + distributed under the terms of this License. The + Document, below, refers to any such manual or + work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is addressed + as you. + + + + A Modified Version of the Document means any work + containing the Document or a portion of it, either copied + verbatim, or with modifications and/or translated into another + language. + + + + A Secondary Section is a named appendix or a + front-matter section of the Document that deals exclusively + with the relationship of the publishers or authors of the + Document to the Document's overall subject (or to related + matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly within + that overall subject. (For example, if the Document is in part a + textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any + mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical + connection with the subject or with related matters, or of + legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position + regarding them. + + + + The Invariant Sections are certain Secondary Sections whose titles + are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the + notice that says that the Document is released under this + License. + + + + The Cover Texts are certain short passages of + text that are listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, + in the notice that says that the Document is released under this + License. + + + + A Transparent copy of the Document means a machine-readable + copy, represented in a format whose specification is available + to the general public, whose contents can be viewed and edited + directly and straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for + images composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for + drawings) some widely available drawing editor, and that is + suitable for input to text formatters or for automatic + translation to a variety of formats suitable for input to text + formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file format + whose markup has been designed to thwart or discourage + subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. A copy + that is not Transparent is called + Opaque. + + + + Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include + plain ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input + format, SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and + standard-conforming simple HTML designed for human + modification. Opaque formats include PostScript, PDF, + proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by + proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD + and/or processing tools are not generally available, and the + machine-generated HTML produced by some word processors for + output purposes only. + + + + The Title Page means, for a printed book, the + title page itself, plus such following pages as are needed to + hold, legibly, the material this License requires to appear in + the title page. For works in formats which do not have any title + page as such, Title Page means the text near the + most prominent appearance of the work's title, preceding the + beginning of the body of the text. + + + + + 2. VERBATIM COPYING + + You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either + commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the + copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License + applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that + you add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this + License. You may not use technical measures to obstruct or + control the reading or further copying of the copies you make or + distribute. However, you may accept compensation in exchange for + copies. If you distribute a large enough number of copies you + must also follow the conditions in section 3. + + + + You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated + above, and you may publicly display copies. + + + + + 3. COPYING IN QUANTITY + + If you publish printed copies of the Document numbering more than 100, + and the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose + the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these + Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and + Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also + clearly and legibly identify you as the publisher of these + copies. The front cover must present the full title with all + words of the title equally prominent and visible. You may add + other material on the covers in addition. Copying with changes + limited to the covers, as long as they preserve the title of the + Document and satisfy these + conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in other + respects. + + + + If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit + legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit + reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto + adjacent pages. + + + + If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering more than 100, + you must either include a machine-readable Transparent copy along with + each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy a + publicly-accessible computer-network location containing a + complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added + material, which the general network-using public has access to + download anonymously at no charge using public-standard network + protocols. If you use the latter option, you must take + reasonably prudent steps, when you begin distribution of Opaque + copies in quantity, to ensure that this Transparent copy will + remain thus accessible at the stated location until at least one + year after the last time you distribute an Opaque copy (directly + or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to the + public. + + + + It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors + of the Document well before + redistributing any large number of copies, to give them a chance + to provide you with an updated version of the Document. + + + + + 4. MODIFICATIONS + + You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under the conditions of + sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release + the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the + Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus + licensing distribution and modification of the Modified Version + to whoever possesses a copy of it. In addition, you must do + these things in the Modified Version: + + + + + + A + + Use in the Title + Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct + from that of the Document, and from those of + previous versions (which should, if there were any, be + listed in the History section of the Document). You may + use the same title as a previous version if the original + publisher of that version gives permission. + + + + + + + B + + List on the Title + Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities + responsible for authorship of the modifications in the + Modified Version, + together with at least five of the principal authors of + the Document (all of + its principal authors, if it has less than five). + + + + + + + C + + State on the Title + Page the name of the publisher of the Modified Version, as the + publisher. + + + + + + + D + + Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document. + + + + + + + E + + Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications + adjacent to the other copyright notices. + + + + + + + F + + Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a + license notice giving the public permission to use the + Modified Version under + the terms of this License, in the form shown in the + Addendum below. + + + + + + + G + + Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections and + required Cover + Texts given in the Document's license notice. + + + + + + + H + + Include an unaltered copy of this License. + + + + + + + I + + Preserve the section entitled History, and + its title, and add to it an item stating at least the + title, year, new authors, and publisher of the Modified Version as given on + the Title Page. If + there is no section entitled History in the + Document, create one + stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the + Document as given on its Title Page, then add an item + describing the Modified Version as stated in the previous + sentence. + + + + + + + J + + Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for public access + to a Transparent + copy of the Document, and likewise the network locations + given in the Document for previous versions it was based + on. These may be placed in the History + section. You may omit a network location for a work that + was published at least four years before the Document + itself, or if the original publisher of the version it + refers to gives permission. + + + + + + + K + + In any section entitled Acknowledgements or + Dedications, preserve the section's title, + and preserve in the section all the substance and tone of + each of the contributor acknowledgements and/or + dedications given therein. + + + + + + + L + + Preserve all the Invariant + Sections of the Document, unaltered in their + text and in their titles. Section numbers or the + equivalent are not considered part of the section titles. + + + + + + + M + + Delete any section entitled + Endorsements. Such a section may not be + included in the Modified + Version. + + + + + + + N + + Do not retitle any existing section as + Endorsements or to conflict in title with + any Invariant + Section. + + + + + + + If the Modified Version + includes new front-matter sections or appendices that qualify as + Secondary Sections and + contain no material copied from the Document, you may at your + option designate some or all of these sections as invariant. To + do this, add their titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the + Modified Version's license notice. These titles must be + distinct from any other section titles. + + + + You may add a section entitled Endorsements, + provided it contains nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various + parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text + has been approved by an organization as the authoritative + definition of a standard. + + + + You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a passage + of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of + the list of Cover Texts + in the Modified Version. + Only one passage of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text + may be added by (or through arrangements made by) any one + entity. If the Document + already includes a cover text for the same cover, previously + added by you or by arrangement made by the same entity you are + acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may + replace the old one, on explicit permission from the previous + publisher that added the old one. + + + + The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License + give permission to use their names for publicity for or to + assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version . + + + + + 5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS + + You may combine the Document + with other documents released under this License, under the + terms defined in section 4 + above for modified versions, provided that you include in the + combination all of the Invariant + Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, + and list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in + its license notice. + + + + The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, + and multiple identical Invariant + Sections may be replaced with a single copy. If there are + multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but different + contents, make the title of each such section unique by adding + at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original + author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique + number. Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the + list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined + work. + + + + In the combination, you must combine any sections entitled + History in the various original documents, + forming one section entitled History; likewise + combine any sections entitled Acknowledgements, + and any sections entitled Dedications. You must + delete all sections entitled Endorsements. + + + + + 6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS + + You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents + released under this License, and replace the individual copies + of this License in the various documents with a single copy that + is included in the collection, provided that you follow the + rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of the + documents in all other respects. + + + + You may extract a single document from such a collection, and + dispbibute it individually under this License, provided you + insert a copy of this License into the extracted document, and + follow this License in all other respects regarding verbatim + copying of that document. + + + + + 7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS + + A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with + other separate and independent documents or works, in or on a + volume of a storage or distribution medium, does not as a whole + count as a Modified Version + of the Document, provided no compilation copyright is claimed + for the compilation. Such a compilation is called an + aggregate, and this License does not apply to the + other self-contained works thus compiled with the Document , on + account of their being thus compiled, if they are not themselves + derivative works of the Document. If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these + copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one + quarter of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may + be placed on covers that surround only the Document within the + aggregate. Otherwise they must appear on covers around the whole + aggregate. + + + + + 8. TRANSLATION + + Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may + distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4. Replacing Invariant Sections with + translations requires special permission from their copyright + holders, but you may include translations of some or all + Invariant Sections in addition to the original versions of these + Invariant Sections. You may include a translation of this + License provided that you also include the original English + version of this License. In case of a disagreement between the + translation and the original English version of this License, + the original English version will prevail. + + + + + 9. TERMINATION + + You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except as expressly + provided for under this License. Any other attempt to copy, + modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will + automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, + parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this + License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such + parties remain in full compliance. + + + + + 10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE + + The Free Software + Foundation may publish new, revised versions of the GNU + Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new versions + will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ + in detail to address new problems or concerns. See http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/. + + + + Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version + number. If the Document + specifies that a particular numbered version of this License + or any later version applies to it, you have the + option of following the terms and conditions either of that + specified version or of any later version that has been + published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If + the Document does not specify a version number of this License, + you may choose any version ever published (not as a draft) by + the Free Software Foundation. + + + + + Addendum + + To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of + the License in the document and put the following copyright and + license notices just after the title page: + + +
+ + Copyright YEAR YOUR NAME. + + + Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this + document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation + License, Version 1.1 or any later version published by the + Free Software Foundation; with the Invariant Sections being LIST + THEIR TITLES, with the Front-Cover Texts being LIST, + and with the Back-Cover + Texts being LIST. A copy of the license is included in + the section entitled GNU Free Documentation + License. + +
+ + + If you have no Invariant + Sections, write with no Invariant Sections + instead of saying which ones are invariant. If you have no + Front-Cover Texts, write + no Front-Cover Texts instead of + Front-Cover Texts being LIST; likewise for Back-Cover Texts. + + + + If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, + we recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your + choice of free software license, such as the GNU General Public + License, to permit their use in free software. + + + + + diff --git a/help/C/apx-gloss.sgml b/help/C/apx-gloss.sgml deleted file mode 100644 index 40fa9a0ce9..0000000000 --- a/help/C/apx-gloss.sgml +++ /dev/null @@ -1,480 +0,0 @@ - - - Glossary - - - Assistant: - - - See druid - - - - - - Attachment: - - - Any file sent along with an email.

This is the most complex item in the list, and is + covered in . + + + + + + Folder Settings + + + Here, you can choose the default folders for various + components of Evolution, the folders that will be cached + locally when you go to offline mode, and the folders that + Evolution will use when it is searching for + autocompletion information as you address a mail. + + + + + + Mail Preferences + + + These are overall mail reading preferences: display + settings, notification options, security, and so + forth. These are covered in . + + + + + + Composer Preferences + + + Settings for the way that you use the mail composer: + shortcuts, signatures, spelling, and so forth. One fun + feature here is the ability to substitute graphical + smiley-faces for "emoticons" such as :) that many people + use in email. This tool is covered in . + + + + + + Calendar and Tasks + + + Here, you can set the way the calendar behaves, including + your time zone and the length of your work-week. + + + + + + Directory Servers + + + If you want to use a shared directory server (LDAP + server), this is the place to set it up. + + + + + + Font Preferences + + + Choose the fonts that Evolution will use to display email + here. You can choose fonts for the mail composer by + selecting Edit + Properties from + within the composer window. + + + + + + Summary Preferences + + + Set the mail folders, news feeds, schedule summary + length, and weather locations to be displayed here. For + news feeds, enter the web address of any RDF file. + + + + + + + + + + Mail Settings + + The first few tools, with the exception of the folder tool, + cover mail tasks: + + + + Working with Mail Accounts + + Ximian Evolution allows you to + maintain multiple accounts, or identities. This is useful + want to keep personal and professional email separate, or if + you wear several hats at work. When you are writing an email + message, you can which account to use by selecting from the + drop-down list next to the From entry in + the message composer. + + + + Clicking Get Mail will refresh any + IMAP, mh, or + mbox listings + and check and download mail from all POP servers. In other + words, Get Mail gets your mail, no + matter how many sources you have, or what types they are. If + you don't want to check mail for a given account, select it + in the Accounts tab and click the + Disable button. + + + + To add a new account, simply click Add + to open the mail configuration assistant. To alter an + existing identity, select it in the + Preferences window, and then click + Edit to open the account editor + dialog. + + + + The account editor dialog has six sections: + + + + Identity: + + + Here, enter the name, + email address, and other identifying information for the + account. + + + + + Receiving Mail + + + Here, select the way you will be getting mail: you may + download mail from a server (POP), read and keep it on the + server (Microsoft Exchange or IMAP), or read it from files + that already exist on your desktop computer. If you use + a server, it may permit or require you to use a Secure + Socket Layer (SSL) connection. To turn SSL connections + on, just click the Use Secure Connection + (SSL) button. + + +Specifying Port Numbers + +Your system administrator may ask you to connect to a specific port on +a mail server. To specify which port you use, just type a colon and +the port number after the server name. For example, to connect to port +143 on the server smtp.omniport.com, you would enter +as + +smtp.omniport.com:143 + as the server name. + + + + + + + + Receiving Options + + + Here, decide whether you'd like to check for mail + automatically and how often, as well as other message + retrieval options. + + + + If you chose POP: + + + + + Checking for new mail: If you would + like Evolution + to check for new mail automatically, + check the box and select a frequency in + minutes. + + + + + + Message Storage: If you'd like to store + copies of your mail on the server, check + this option. + + + + + + Store Store status headers in + Elm/Pine/Mutt format: If you would like to + use the X-Status header format used by the + mail clients Elm, Pine, and Mutt, select + this option. This option is useful if you + plan to check your mail with those clients + from time to time. + + + + + + + + + If you chose Microsoft Exchange: + + + + + Checking for new mail: If you would like + Evolution to check for new mail + automatically, check the box and select a frequency in + minutes. + + + + + Exchange Server: If your active directory user name + is different from your Exchange mail user name, check this + box and enter your mail username here. + + + + + Create a Global Address List folder: If you would + like to have a seperate folder for the Active Directory's + Global Address List, leave this box checked. + + + + + Active Directory Server Name: In most organizations, + the Active Directory server will be different from + the Exchange mail server. If so, check the box and + enter the Active Directory server name here. + + + + + Limit number of Responses: Select a maximum number + of results for an address search. A maximum number of + results limits the load on your system and on your network. + + + + + + + + + If you chose IMAP: + + + + + + Checking for new mail: If you would like + Evolution to check for new mail + automatically, check the box and select a frequency in + minutes. + + + + + If you want Evolution + to check for new messages in all your + IMAP folders, make sure the Check for new + messages in all folders box is selected. + + + + Show only subscribed folders: Check this box if you + have more folders in your IMAP view than you want to + read. + + + + + Override server-supplied namespace: If you like, enter a + specific directory where your server stores mail for + you. Typical values are "mail" and "Mail." For more + information about how to use IMAP mail, see . + + + + Apply filters to new messages in INBOX on this + server: If you'd like your filters to work on this account + as well as on locally downloaded mail, check this box. + + + + Store Store status headers in Elm/Pine/Mutt format: + If you would like to use the X-Status header format used + by the mail clients Elm, Pine, and Mutt, select this + option. This option is useful if you plan to check your + mail with those clients from time to time. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Sending Mail + + + In this section, you will choose and configure a method + for sending mail. You may choose SMTP, Microsoft Exchange (if + you have purchased the Ximian Connector for Microsoft + Exchange) or sendmail. + + + + + Special Folders + + + Here, you can decide where this account will store the + messages that it has sent, and the messages that you + save as drafts. + + + + + Security + + + In this section, you will set the security options for + this account. Enter your PGP Key ID and decide how + frequently to encrypt and sign your messages. You can + learn more about PGP and encryption in . + + + + + + + + + + Mail Display Options + + In this tab you can decide how you would like + Ximian Evolution to display your + mail: how to display citations, how long to wait before + marking a message as read, and so forth. + + + This is also where you can decide how you would like + Ximian Evolution to handle inline + images in HTML mail that you get. There is a detailed + discussion of the issues surrounding these options in . + + + To hange the font which Ximian + Evolution uses to display mail, do the + following: + + + + Open the Control Center by selecting + System + Settings from + the menu panel. + + + + + Select the HTML Viewer settings tool. + + + + Choose the font and font size you would like to use. + + + + + Alternately, open a terminal and run the + gtkhtml-properties-capplet command. This + will open the GNOME HTML Display Properties tool, and you can + select a font and other attributes of your HTML display, + including that in Ximian Evolution. + + + + + Message Composer Preferences + + There are three whole tabs of settings you can change for the + message composer. The General tab covers shortcuts and + assorted behavior, and the other two control signatures and + spell checking. In the General tab, you can set: + + + + + Shortcuts Type + + + Choose a keyboard shortcut scheme: do you prefer + keyboard shortcuts similar to those of Microsoft + Windows, XEmacs, or Emacs? + + + + + + Default Behavior + + + Choose how you will normally forward and reply + messages, what character set they will use, whether + they will be in HTML, and whether that HTML can + contain smiley face images. + + + + + + + Alerts + + + There are two optional alerts here: + + + Prompt when sending messages with an empty subject + + + The composer will warn you if you try to send a + message without a subject. + + + + + + Prompt when sending messages with only Bcc recipients defined + + + The composer will warn you if you try to send a + message that has only Bcc + recipients. This is important because some mail + servers will fail to honor blind carbon copy if you + do not have at least one recipient that is visible to + all readers. + + + + + + + + + + + + The signature editor is new for Evolution 1.2. It allows you + to create several different signatures in plain text or in + HTML, and to specify which of them will be added to emails + 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. + + + In the spell-checking tool, you can set spelling options, + including the language or languages you will use. Note that you + must install the gnome-spell package, available through Red + Carpet, for spell-checking to be available in + Evolution. Alternate dictionaries are aslo available through + Red Carpet and are detected automatically if you have installed + them. + + + + + + + + + Calendar and Task List Settings + + The calendar configuration tool has two tabs + General and + Display, and is illustrated in . + + +
+ Calendar Preferences Dialog + + Calendar Configuration + + + +
+ + + + + The General tab lets you set the + following: + + + Time zone + + + The city you're located in, to judge your time zone. + + + + + Time format + + You may choose between twelve-hour (AM/PM) and + twenty-four hour time formats here by clicking the + appropriate radio button. + + + + + Work Week + + + When does your work day start, and when does it end? + In the day and week views, + Evolution displays all the + hours in the range you select here, even if there are + no appointments for those times. Of course, you can + still schedule an appointment outside of these hours, + and if you do, the display will be extended to show + it. + + + + + First day of the week + + You can set weeks to start on Sunday or on Monday. + + + + Start of day + + + Says what time of the day your weekday starts. This + will show all times till the end of the day, + regardless of there is an appointment during the time + period. + + + + + End of day + + + Sets the time the day ends at. + + + + + + + Alerts + + + If you'd like to be warned before you delete any + appointment, or to have a reminder automatically + appear for each event, select the check boxes here. + + + + + + + + The Display section lets you choose how + your appointments and tasks will appear in your calendar. + + The display properties you can set are: + + + + Time divisions + + + Sets the increments shown on the daily view in the + calendar. You can set this to be anywhere from five + minutes to an hour, in five minute increments. + + + + + Show appointment end times in week and month views + + + If there is space, + Evolution will show the end + times in the week and month views for each + appointment. + + + + + Compress weekends in month view + + + If checked, your weekends will be shown in one box, + instead of one for each day in the month view. + + + + + + Show week numbers in date navigator + + + This will show the week numbers next to the respective + weeks in the calendar. + + + + + + Tasks due today + + + Configures what color to set your tasks that are due + today to. + + + + + Overdue tasks + + + Choose the color for overdue tasks. + + + + + + + + Managing the Addressbook + + Addressbook settings are limited to the usage and + configuration of directory servers (LDAP and + Exchange).

An All day event - appears at the top of a day's appointment list, in the grey header under the date, rather than inside - it. 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 would be timed - appointments. Of course, appointments with specific starting and ending - times can also overlap. When they do they're displayed as - multiple columns in the day view of the calendar. - - - Evolution supports the use of - timezones.

You can have folders and searches the same way you can - with mail, but the addressbook does not allow Virtual Folders. It - does, however, allow each card to fall under several - categories, and allow you to create your own categories. To - learn about categories, read . - - - - - - Groups of contacts - - Evolution offers two ways for you - to organize your cards. The first way is to use folders; - this works the same way mail folders do. For more - flexibility, you can also mark contacts as elements of - different categories. To better integrate with email tools, - you can also create lists of contacts that you can send mail - to as a single person. - - - - Grouping with Folders - - The simplest way to group address cards is to use folders. - By default, cards start in the - Contacts folder. If you've read then you already know that you - can create a new folder by selecting - - File - New - Folder - - and that you can put new folders anywhere you like. Just - like with mail, cards must be in a card folder, and no card - can be in two places at once. If you want more - flexibility, try . - - - To put a card into a folder, just drag it there from the - folder view. Remember that contact cards can only go in - contact folders, just like mail can only go in mail folders, - and calendars in calendar folders. - - - - - Grouping with Categories - - The other way to group cards is to mark them as belonging - to different categories. - That means that you - can mark a card as being in several categories or no - category at all. For example, I put my friend Matthew's - card in the "Business" category, because he works with me, - the "Friends" category, because he's also my friend, and - the "Frequent" category, because I call him all the time - and can never remember his phone number. - - - To mark a card as belonging to a category, click the - Categories button at the lower - right. From the dialog box that appears, you can check as - many or as few categories as you like. - - - - - - - - Creating a List of Contacts - - To create a list of contacts: - - - - - Open the list creation dialog box by clicking the - New List button or selecting - - - File - - - New - - - Contact List - - . - - - - - - Enter a name for the list. - - - - - Enter names or email addresses of contacts, or just - drag contacts from the main window into the list. - - - - - - Choose whether you would like 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 - . - - - - - - - When you are done, click OK. The - list will appear as a contact card, which you can use as - you would any other. That includes emailing the list to - another person, and, of course, sending email to the list. - - - To mail the list, open a new email and type the name you - chose for the list. Ximian Evolution will address the - message to the entire list when you send it. You can also - right-click on the list's address card in the Addressbook - and select Send Message to List. - - - Ximian Evolution cannot store contact lists on Exchange - servers. - - - - - - - - LDAP: Shared Addressbooks on a Network - - - The LDAP protocol was - created to let users share contact information over a network by - sharing access to a central address book. LDAP allows a company - to maintain a shared set of contact information for a company or - department.

If you use a laptop or have a - modem connection, you may wish to copy or cache the - network directory. You do this by dragging and dropping - your desired contacts into the local contacts list. - - - - - - To prevent excess network traffic, - Evolution will not normally - load the contents of LDAP folders immediately upon - opening. You must click Display - All before LDAP folder cards will be loaded - from the network.

+ + The General tab has seven sections, + each with an icon: a face, for name and company; a telephone + for phone numbers; an envelope for email address; a globe for + web page address; a house for postal address; a file folder + for contacts, and a briefcase for categories. + + + + + + Full Name + + + The Full Name field has two + major features: + + + + You can enter a name into the Full + Name field, but you can also click the + Full Name button to bring + up a small dialog box with a few text boxes + + + Title: + + Enter an honorific or select one from the menu. + + + + First: + + Enter the first, or given, name. + + + + Middle: + + Enter the middle name or initial, if any. + + + + Last: + + Enter the last name (surname). + + + + Suffix: + + Enter suffixes such as "Jr." or "III." + + + + + + + + + The Full Name field also + interacts with the File As + box to help you organize your contacts. + + + To see how it works, type a name in the + Full Name field. As an example, + we'll use the Ximian mascot, Rupert + T. Monkey. You'll notice that the + File As field also fills in, + but in reverse: Monkey, + Rupert. You can pick + Rupert Monkey from + the drop-down, or type in your own, such as + T. Rupert Monkey . + + + Filing Suggestion + + Don't enter something entirely different from the + actual name, since you might forget that you've filed + Rupert's information under "F" for "Fictitious Ximian + Employee." + + + + + + Multiple Values for Fields: + + + If you click on the downward pointing triangle buttons + next to the Primary Email field, + you can also choose Email 2 and + Email 3. Although the contact + editor will only display one of those at any given + time, Evolution will store + them all. Entries that have information in them have + a check mark next to them. The buttons next to the + telephone and postal address fields work in the same + way. + + + + + + + The last item in the General tab is the + Categories organization tool; for + information on that, read . + + + The Details tab is much simpler: + + + + The briefcase - Describes the person's professional life + + + + + The face - Describes the person's personal life + + + + + The globe - Miscellanious notes + + + + + + Contact Shortcuts + + You can add cards from within an email message or calendar + appointment. While looking at an email, right-click on + any email address or message, and choose + Create Card for this Address or + Create Card for this Sender + from the menu. + + + + + + + Searching for Contacts + + Evolution allows searching through contacts + quickly and easily. + + + To search through contacts: + + + + Select your search focus in the search bar. + + + + + Enter your query. + + + + + Press return to search. + + + + + + To perform a complex search through your contacts: + + + + Open + + Tools + Search for contacts + + + + + + Name the rule in the Rule Name field. + + + + + Setup your criteria information in the If section. + + + + + If you want to add more critera, click the Add + Criterion button. + + + + + Click Search. + + + + + + To show all your contacts, select Show All in the + Search Bar or search with an empty query. + + + + + + Organizing your Addressbook + + Organizing your addressbook is a lot like organizing your + mail. You can have folders and searches the same way you can + with mail, but the addressbook does not allow Virtual Folders. It + does, however, allow each card to fall under several + categories, and allow you to create your own categories. To + learn about categories, read . + + + + + + Groups of contacts + + Evolution offers two ways for you + to organize your cards. The first way is to use folders; + this works the same way mail folders do. For more + flexibility, you can also mark contacts as elements of + different categories. To better integrate with email tools, + you can also create lists of contacts that you can send mail + to as a single person. + + + + Grouping with Folders + + The simplest way to group address cards is to use folders. + By default, cards start in the + Contacts folder. If you've read then you already know that you + can create a new folder by selecting + + File + New + Folder + + and that you can put new folders anywhere you like. Just + like with mail, cards must be in a card folder, and no card + can be in two places at once. If you want more + flexibility, try . + + + To put a card into a folder, just drag it there from the + folder view. Remember that contact cards can only go in + contact folders, just like mail can only go in mail folders, + and calendars in calendar folders. + + + + + Grouping with Categories + + The other way to group cards is to mark them as belonging + to different categories. + That means that you + can mark a card as being in several categories or no + category at all. For example, I put my friend Matthew's + card in the "Business" category, because he works with me, + the "Friends" category, because he's also my friend, and + the "Frequent" category, because I call him all the time + and can never remember his phone number. + + + To mark a card as belonging to a category, click the + Categories button at the lower + right. From the dialog box that appears, you can check as + many or as few categories as you like. + + + + + + + + Creating a List of Contacts + + To create a list of contacts: + + + + + Open the list creation dialog box by clicking the + New List button or selecting + + + File + + + New + + + Contact List + + . + + + + + + Enter a name for the list. + + + + + Enter names or email addresses of contacts, or just + drag contacts from the main window into the list. + + + + + + Choose whether you would like 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 + . + + + + + + + When you are done, click OK. The + list will appear as a contact card, which you can use as + you would any other. That includes emailing the list to + another person, and, of course, sending email to the list. + + + To mail the list, open a new email and type the name you + chose for the list. Ximian Evolution will address the + message to the entire list when you send it. You can also + right-click on the list's address card in the Addressbook + and select Send Message to List. + + + Ximian Evolution cannot store contact lists on Exchange + servers. + + + + + + + + LDAP: Shared Addressbooks on a Network + + + The LDAP protocol was + created to let users share contact information over a network by + sharing access to a central address book. LDAP allows a company + to maintain a shared set of contact information for a company or + department. Many companies keep a common LDAP address book for + all their employees or for client contacts. + + + + To learn how to add a remote directory to your available + contact folders, see . + Once you have a LDAP connection, the network contacts folder or + folders will appear inside the External + Directories folder in the folder bar. It will work + exactly like a local folder of 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 may wish to copy or cache the + network directory. You do this by dragging and dropping + your desired contacts into the local contacts list. + + + + + + To prevent excess network traffic, + Evolution will not normally + load the contents of LDAP folders immediately upon + opening. You must click Display + All before LDAP folder cards will be loaded + from the network. You can change this behavior in the + Contact Preferences window. + + + + + You cannot add, delete, or alter cards on the LDAP + server. If you need to change information there, you + will need to speak to your system administrator + + + + + + Configuring Evolution to use LDAP + + For information about setting up + Evolution to use LDAP, please refer + to + + + + + + Send me a Card: Adding New Cards Quickly + + As noted before, 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 on any email address or email + message, and select Add Address + Card from the menu that appears. + Evolution can also add cards from a + hand-held device during HotSync operation.

Check with your system + administrator to be sure. + + + In most cases, the URL for web access is + "http://server.company.com/exchange." If your + system has a path that is not "exchange," check + the box and enter the custom path here. + + + + + Active Directory + + + If you would like to use the Global Address + List (GAL) maintained on your Exchange server, + click the tab labelled Receiving + Options and check the box labelled + Create a Global Address List + folder. The GAL is maintained by + your system administrator and you cannot add, + change, or remove items from it using Ximian + Evolution. However, you can use it to invite + people to meetings and to look up addresses and + other information. In many organizations, the + GAL is stored on a different server from email. + If this is the case, you should also specify + the directory server name here. + + + + + + + + + Sending Mail + + + If you will use your Exchange server to send as well as + receive mail, select Microsoft + Exchange as your server type, and enter the + server name as the Host. + + + + + + + Once you have made those changes, click the + OK button. + + + Then, quit Evolution and start it + up again. Changes to the Ximian Connector accounts + configuration are not active until you have restarted the + application. + + + + + + + Accessing the <application>Exchange</application>Server + + Like IMAP and LDAP data, information for + Exchangeaccounts is stored on the + server, not on your desktop computer. This means that you can + access it from multiple locations. It also means that your + Microsoft Exchangeaccount information + is in a seperate folder tree from the Local + tree in your folder bar. You'll see it below the local tree, + with the name you gave the account. If you have multiple + accounts, you will have multiple folder trees. + + + Click on any of the folder tree items to visit them; you may + have to enter your server password. You can now create contact + cards, send and receive email as you would normally. If there + are items in your local calendar or addressbook that you'd like + to add to your Exchangestores, you + can copy and paste them over, or just drag items from one folder + to another as you would with two local stores. + + + + Saving Attached Addresses and Appointments + + If you are using both an Exchange account and a local mail + account, you should be aware that whenever you save an email + address or appointment from an email message, it will be + saved in your Exchange contacts list or calendar, rather + than in your local account. The same is true of + synchronization with Palm-OS devices: tasks, appointments, + and addresses from your Palm-OS device will be synchronized + with those in the Exchange folders rather than local + folders. + + + + + The Global Address List Is Empty At First + + To avoid unnecessary strain on the server, the GAL will + appear empty until you have searched for something in it. + If you want to display all the cards in the list, click in + the search box and press Enter. This + enters a blank search: since every card contains a blank in + it, every card will appear. + + + + + Taking Full Advantage of the Exchange Server When Scheduling Appointments + + When you schedule a meeting with your calendar on the + Exchangeserver, you can check when + other local Exchange users are busy according to their + Exchangecalendars. To do so: + +
+ Scheduling With Free/Busy Information + + Using the Free/Busy Feature + + + + +
+ + + Reminders In Exchange + + Reminders for appointments in your Exchange calendar will + not work until you have run Evolution at least once after + logging in.

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 - selecting New and then - Folder from the - File menu. - Ximian Evolution will as you for the name - and the type of the folder, and will provide you with a folder - tree so you can pick where it goes. - - - When you click OK, your new folder will - appear in the folder view. You can - then put messages in it by dragging and dropping them, or by - using the Move button in the - toolbar. If you want to move several messages at once, click - on the ones you want to move while holding down the - Ctrl key, or use Shift to - select a range of messages. If you create a filter with the - filter assistant, you can have mail - filed automatically. - - - - Subfolders in IMAP - - 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 INBOX. If you create - subfolders in your INBOX folder, you will lose the ability - to read messages that exist in your INBOX until you move the - folders out of the way. - - - - - - - Searching for Messages - - Most mail clients can search through your messages for you, - but Ximian Evolution does it faster. You - can search through just the message subjects, just the message - body, or both body and subject. - - - To start searching, enter a word or phrase in the text area - right below the toolbar, and choose a search type: - - - Body or subject contains: - - - This will search message subjects and the messages - themselves for the word or phrase you've entered in - the search field. - - - - - Body contains: - - - This will search only in message text, not the subject - lines. - - - - - Subject contains: - - - This will show you messages where the search text is - in the subject line. It will not search in the - message body. - - - - - Body does not contain: - - - This finds every email message that does not have the - search text in the message body. It will still show - messages that have the search text in the subject - line, if it is not also in the body. - - - - - Subject does not contain: - - - This finds every mail whose subject does not contain - the search text. - - - - - - When you've entered your search phrase, press - Enter. Ximian Evolution - will show your search results in the message list. - - - - If you think you'll want to return to a search again, you can - save it as a virtual folder by selecting Store - Search as vFolder. - - - - When you're done with the search, go back to seeing all your - messages by choosing Show All from - the Search drop-down box. If you're - sneaky, just enter a blank search: since every message has at - least one space in it, you'll see every message in the - folder. - - - - If you'd like to perform a more complex search, open the - advanced search dialog by selecting - Advanced... from the - Search drop-down menu. Then, create your - search criteria (each with the same options you saw in the - regular search bar), and decide whether you want to find - messages that match all of them, or messages that match even - one. Then, click Search to go and find - those messages. - - - - You'll see a similar approach to sorting messages when you - create filters and vFolders in the next few sections. - - - - - - 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 may effect the same message - in several ways. For example, your filters could put copies - of one message into multiple folders, or keep a copy and send - one to another person as well, and it can do that quickly. Of - course, it's also faster and more flexible than an actual - person with a pile of envelopes. - - - - - Quick Filter Creation - - There is an easy shortcut for fast filter or vFolder - creation. Right-click on the message in the message - list, and select one of the items under the - Create Rule from Message - submenu. - - - - - Making New Filters - - To create a new filter: - - - - Click - - Tools - Filters - - - - - - Press the Add button. - - - - - Name your filter in the Rule name field. - For each filter criterion, you must first select - which of the following parts of the message you want the filter to - examine: - - - - Sender - The sender's address. - - - - - Recipients - The recipients of the message. - - - - Subject - The subject line of the message. - - - - Specific Header - The filter can look at any header you - want, even obscure or custom ones. Enter the header name - in the first text box, and put your search text in the - second one. - - - - Repeated Headers - - If a message uses a header more than once, Evolution will - pay 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@rupertcorp.com" and then restates - it as "marketing@rupertcorp.com," Evolution will filter as - though the second declaration had not occurred. To filter - on messages that use headers multiple times, use a regular - expression. - - - - - - - Message Body - Search 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 Ximian Evolution. - - - - - - What if Multiple Filters Match One Message? - - If you have several filters that match a single message, - they will all be applied to the message, in order, unless - one of the filters has the action Stop - Processing. If you use that action in a - filter, the messages that it affects will not be touched - by other filters. - - - - - - - - Date sent - Filter messages according to the date on - which they were sent: First, choose the conditions you - want a message to meet — before - a given time, after it, and so forth. - Then, choose the time. The filter will compare 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 even have it look for messages within a - range of time relative to the filter — perhaps you're - looking for messages less than two days old. - - - - Date Received - This works the same way as the Date Sent - option, except that it compares the time you got the message - with the dates you specify. - - - - Score - Emails have a standard priority range from -3 (least - important) to 3 (most important). You can have filters set the - priority of messages you receive, and then have other filters - applied only to those messages which have a certain priority. - - - - - Size (kb) - Sorts based on the size of the message in kilobytes. - - - - - - Status - Filters according to the status of a message, such as - 'New'. - - - - - - Attachments - Create a filter based on whether or not you - have an attachment in the email. - - - - - - Mailing List - Filter based on the mailing list it came from. - - - How Does Filtering on Mailing Lists Work? - - Filtering on mailing list actually looks for a - specific mailing-list header called the - X-BeenThere - header, used to identify mailing lists or other - redistributors of mail. - - - - - - - Regex Match - If you know your way around a - regex, or - regular expression, put your knowledge to use - here. - - - - - - Source Account - Filter messages according the server you got them from. - You can enter a URL or choose one from the drop-down - list. This ability is only relevant if you use more - than one mail source. - - - - - - - - Select the criterion for the condition. If you want multiple - criteria for this filter, press Add - criterion and repeat the previous step. - - - - - Select the actions for the filter in the Then - section. You can select any of the following options. - - - Move to Folder - If you select this item, Ximian Evolution - will put the messages into a folder you specify. Click the - <click here to select a folder> button - to select a folder. - - - - Copy to Folder - If you select this item, Ximian Evolution - will put the messages into a folder you specify. Click the - <click here to select a folder> button - to select a folder. - - - - Forward to Address - Select this, enter an address, and the addressee will - get a copy of the message. - - - - Delete - Marks the message for deletion. You can still get the message - back, at least until you Expunge your - mail yourself. - - - - Stop Processing - Select this if you want to tell all other filters to ignore - this message, because whatever you've done with it so far - is plenty. - - - - Assign Color - Select this item, and Ximian Evolution - will mark the message with whatever color you please. - - - - Assign Score - If you know that all mail with - "important" somewhere in the message body line is - important, you can give it a high priority score. In a subsequent filter you can - then arrange your messages by their priority score. - - - - - - - Set Status - If you want to add multiple actions for this filter, press - Add action and repeat the previous step. - - - - - Press OK. - - - - - - - When Are Filters Applied? - - If you move mail from your server into your local system - using POP mail, filters are applied to incoming mail every - time you check for mail. - - - If you store your mail on the mail server and check your - mail with IMAP, filters are applied to the INBOX when you - open it. In some cases, you will see a number of unread - messages in the INBOX, click the INBOX, and then have the - messages move elsewhere as they are filtered out. - - - If you use Ximian Connector to store your mail on an - Exchange server, filters are not applied until you open - your INBOX folder and select - ActionsApply - Filters or press - CtrlY - - - - Using a Filter to Avoid Spam - - A good deal of bulk mail is eventually tagged with the - Precedence: Bulk header at - one point or another. Not all of it is, of course, and - there are "good" messages (mailing lists you subscribe to, - for example) that are also considered "Bulk" mail. - However, if you filter out all the mail with that header, - you'll catch a lot of the mail you don't want to get. - - - - - To catch them and automatically mark them for deletion, do - the following: - - - - Select ToolsFilters. - - - - Click New. - - - - Set the first part of your search critera to look in a Specific header. - - - - Enter Precedence as the name of the header. - - - - Choose contains at the second drop-down box. - - - - Enter Bulk as the content to search for. - You're now working with all email that has the word "Bulk" in the - "Precedence" header. - - - - For actions, select "Move to Folder" and choose the - folder where you'd like to place bulk mail. - - - If you like, add another action and - choose Delete. - - - - Click OK. You're done. - - - - - - - - - - Editing Filters - - To edit a filter: - - - - Select - - Tools - Filters - - - - - - Select the filter in the Filter Rules section - and press Edit. - - - - - Change the desired settings. - - - - - Press OK in the filter editor window. - - - - - Press OK in the filter manager window. - - - - - - - - Deleting Filters - - To delete a filter: - - - - Select - - Tools - Filters - - - - - - Select the filter and press Delete. - - - - - - - Changing Folder Names and Filters - - - - - Incoming email that your filters don't move goes - into the Inbox; outgoing mail that they don't move - ends up in the Sent folder. So be sure to change - the filters that go with it. - - - - - - - - - - - Getting Really Organized with vFolders - - If filters aren't flexible enough for you, or you find - yourself performing the same search again and again, consider - a vFolder. vFolders, or virtual folders, are an advanced way - of viewing your email messages within - Ximian Evolution. If you get a lot of - mail or often forget where you put messages, vFolders - can help you stay on top of things. - - - A vFolder 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.

You can + then put messages in it by dragging and dropping them, or by + using the Move button in the + toolbar. If you want to move several messages at once, click + on the ones you want to move while holding down the + Ctrl key, or use Shift to + select a range of messages. If you create a filter with the + filter assistant, you can have mail + filed automatically. + + + + Subfolders in IMAP + + The INBOX folder on most IMAP servers cannot contain both + subfolders and messages.

You + can search through just the message subjects, just the message + body, or both body and subject. + + + To start searching, enter a word or phrase in the text area + right below the toolbar, and choose a search type: + + + Body or subject contains: + + + This will search message subjects and the messages + themselves for the word or phrase you've entered in + the search field. + + + + + Body contains: + + + This will search only in message text, not the subject + lines. + + + + + Subject contains: + + + This will show you messages where the search text is + in the subject line.

If you're + sneaky, just enter a blank search: since every message has at + least one space in it, you'll see every message in the + folder. + + + + If you'd like to perform a more complex search, open the + advanced search dialog by selecting + Advanced... from the + Search drop-down menu. Then, create your + search criteria (each with the same options you saw in the + regular search bar), and decide whether you want to find + messages that match all of them, or messages that match even + one. Then, click Search to go and find + those messages. + + + + You'll see a similar approach to sorting messages when you + create filters and vFolders in the next few sections. + + + + + + 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 may effect the same message + in several ways. For example, your filters could put copies + of one message into multiple folders, or keep a copy and send + one to another person as well, and it can do that quickly. Of + course, it's also faster and more flexible than an actual + person with a pile of envelopes. + + + + + Quick Filter Creation + + There is an easy shortcut for fast filter or vFolder + creation. Right-click on the message in the message + list, and select one of the items under the + Create Rule from Message + submenu. + + + + + Making New Filters + + To create a new filter: + + + + Click + + Tools + Filters + + + + + + Press the Add button. + + + + + Name your filter in the Rule name field. + For each filter criterion, you must first select + which of the following parts of the message you want the filter to + examine: + + + + Sender - The sender's address. + + + + + Recipients - The recipients of the message. + + + + Subject - The subject line of the message. + + + + Specific Header - The filter can look at any header you + want, even obscure or custom ones. Enter the header name + in the first text box, and put your search text in the + second one. + + + + Repeated Headers + + If a message uses a header more than once, Evolution will + pay 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@rupertcorp.com" and then restates + it as "marketing@rupertcorp.com," Evolution will filter as + though the second declaration had not occurred. To filter + on messages that use headers multiple times, use a regular + expression. + + + + + + + Message Body - Search 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 Ximian Evolution. + + + + + + What if Multiple Filters Match One Message? + + If you have several filters that match a single message, + they will all be applied to the message, in order, unless + one of the filters has the action Stop + Processing.

You can still get the message + back, at least until you Expunge your + mail yourself. + + + + Stop Processing - Select this if you want to tell all other filters to ignore + this message, because whatever you've done with it so far + is plenty. + + + + Assign Color - Select this item, and Ximian Evolution + will mark the message with whatever color you please. + + + + Assign Score - If you know that all mail with + "important" somewhere in the message body line is + important, you can give it a high priority score. In a subsequent filter you can + then arrange your messages by their priority score. + + + + + + + Set Status - If you want to add multiple actions for this filter, press + Add action and repeat the previous step. + + + + + Press OK. + + + + + + + When Are Filters Applied? + + If you move mail from your server into your local system + using POP mail, filters are applied to incoming mail every + time you check for mail. + + + If you store your mail on the mail server and check your + mail with IMAP, filters are applied to the INBOX when you + open it.

To learn how to do that, have - a look at , or ask your - system administrator. - - - - - - - Sharing Mailboxes with Other Mail Programs - - If you want to use Evolution - and another email client, such as - Mutt, at the same time, - here's how: - - - - Download your mail in the other application as - you would normally. - - - - - In Evolution - ToolsMail - Settings, and pick the account - you'd like to use to share mail. You may want to - create a new account just for this source of - mail. - - - - - Under the Receiving Mail - tab, select the type of mail file that your - other mail application uses, and then enter the - full path to that file. - - - - - Click the OK button. - - - - - - - - - - - Working with Attachments and HTML Mail - - If someone sends you an attachment, - a file attached to an email, - Evolution will display the file - at the bottom of the message to which it's attached. Text, - including HTML formatting and embedded images, will appear - as part of the message, rather than at the end of the - message as an attachment. - - - - Saving or Opening Attachments - - If you get an attachment with an email message, - Ximian Evolution can help you save - it or open it with the appropriate applications. - - - To save an attachment to disk: - - - - Click the downward pointing arrow on the attachment icon - and select Save to Disk. - - - - - Choose a location and name for the file. - - - - - Click OK. - - - - - - - To Open an Attachment in a Program: - - - - Open the mail message with the attachment you want to read. - - - - - Click the arrow next the attachment icon. - - - - - Select the program you'd like to use. It will start up - and open the document. - - - - - - - - - - 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 when you first start Ximian - Evolution) Evolution - will display the image inside the message. You can create - messages like this by using the - InsertImage - tool in the message composer. - - - - If the image isn't included in the message, but is, instead, - a link to an image, Evolution can - download the image from the Internet for you. However, - Evolution will not display the - image unless you ask it to. This is because remotely hosted - images can be slow to load and display, and can even be used - by spammers to track who reads their email. Having images - not load automatically helps protect your privacy. - - - If you want the images to load for one message, select - - View - Message Display - Load Images - . - - If you want Ximian Evolution to - load remotely hosted images more often, go to the - Display tab of the - - Tools - Mail Settings - dialog. - - - Loading Images from the Net through an HTTP Proxy - - If you use an HTTP proxy, - Evolution must be able to find - it through the gnome-vfs subsystem - before it can load images from the Internet. This is also - the case if you wish to access weather and news information - through the Summary tool. You can tell the GNOME Virtual - File System about your HTTP proxy in one of two ways: - - - Configure it with Nautilus - - - - - - Open a Nautilus window - - - - - Select - Preferences - Edit Preferences - . - - - - - Go to the Navigation tab. - - - - - Click the Use HTTP Proxy - checkbox and enter the location of your HTTP - proxy in the Location field. - - - - - - - - Configure it with the gconftool command - - - - - - Open a terminal. - - - - - Enter the command - - gconftool --type=bool --set /system/gnome-vfs/use-http-proxy "TRUE" - - - - - - Enter the command - - gconftool --type=string --set /system/gnome-vfs/http-proxy-host "your-proxy-url" - - - - - - Enter the command - - gconftool --type=int --set /system/gnome-vfs/http-proxy-port "8080" - - - - - - - For more information about the gconftool command, - read the gconftool man page. - - - - - - - - - - - - Composing New Email Messages - - You can start writing a new email message by selecting - File - New - Mail Message, or by pressing the - Compose button in the Inbox toolbar. - When you do so, the New Message window - will open, as shown in . - - - -
- New Message Window - - Evolution Main Window - - - -
- - - - Enter an address in the To: field. If you - wish, enter a subject in the Subject:, and - a message in the box at the bottom of the window. - Once you have written your message, press - Send. - - - - Sending Composed Messages Later - - Evolution will send mail - immediately unless you tell it to do otherwise by selecting - File Send - Later. This will add your - messages to the Outbox queue. The - "Send Later" feature is particularly useful if you use a - modem to connect to the Internet and pay per-minute - charges: you can remain offline until you need to send - mail, then connect and send all your mail at once. Mail in - the outbox is sent when you click - Send/Receive in the main window. - - - To learn more about how you can specify message queue and - filter behavior, see . - - - - You can also choose to save messages as drafts or as text - files. Your options are: - - - Choose - - File - Save Draft - - to store your messages in the drafts folder for later - revision. - - - - If you'd like to have the message sent later, you - can choose Send Later. That way, - the message will be added to the queue, and you can send a - batch of messages all at once. - - - - If you prefer to save your message as a text file, - choose Save As and then choose a - file name. - - - - - - - - Working Offline - - Offline mode is a tool designed for use with a dialup - connection or for laptop users who do not have a network - connection at all times. It allows you to cache messages - for reference while you are not connected to the - network, and to compose messages and leave them in your - Outbox to be sent the next time you connect to the network. - - - Select - FileWork - Offline to have - Ximian Evolution disconnect - from the Internet while you work. When you want to - reconnect, choose - FileWork - Online. Alternativly, you - can click the connection button at the bottom left side - of the window. - - - If you use POP mail, all your messages will be - available to you, because they are stored locally. If - you use IMAP or Exchange mail, messages are stored - remotely, so availability is a little different. - - - Messages that you have read are cached and stored - locally; all read messages will be available to you - even if you are offline. Unread messages will be - downloaded and saved for offline use if they are in a - folder that you have marked as an Offline Folder. To - mark a folder for offline use, select - Settings - Preferences and - then click the Folders icon. In - the Offline Folders tab, click the - check-box next to the folders that you would like to - use while you are offline. Then, when you select - Go Offline, Evolution will - fetch their contents and store them for later - reference. - - - - More About Mail Composition - - In the next few sections, you'll see how - Evolution handles advanced email - features, including large recipient lists, attachments, and - forwarding. - - - Attachments - - To attach a file to your email: - - - - Push the attach button in the composer toolbar - - - - - Select the file you want to attach - - - - - Press OK - - - - - - You can drag a file from your desktop into the composer window to - attach it as well. - - - To hide the display of files you've attached to the - message, select - View Hide - Attachments ; to show them - again, choose Show Attachments. - - - When you send the message, a copy of the attached file - will go with it. Be aware that big attachments can take a - long time to download. - - - - - Specifying Recipients for Email - - Evolution, like most email - programs, recognizes three types of addressee: 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. To send mail to - more than one or two people, you can use the - Cc: field. - - - Hearkening back to the dark ages when people used - typewriters and there were no copy machines, "Cc" stands - for "Carbon Copy." Use it whenever you want to share a - message you've written to someone else. - - - Bcc: is a little more complex. You - use it like Cc:, but people on the - Bcc: list are hidden from the other - recipients of the message. 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 Contact Manager, and - then send them mail as though they had a single address. - To learn how to do that, read . - - - - Setting Reply-to On a Per-Mail Basis - - Evolution has the ability to - let you specify the Reply-To in an email. Using this, you - can setup a special Reply-To for an email. To do this: - - - - Open a composer window - - - - - Open the Reply-To field by selecting - - View - Reply To - - - - - - Enter the address you wish to have be the - Reply-To address in the new Reply-To field. - - - - - - - - - Choosing Recipients Quickly - - If you have created address cards in the contact manager, - you can also enter nicknames or other portions of address - data, and Evolution will offer a - drop down list of possible address completions from your - address book. If you enter a name or nickname that can go - with more than one card, Evolution will open a dialog box to - ask you which person you meant. - - - - - - - Alternately, you can click on the - To:, Cc:, or - Bcc: buttons to get a list -- - potentially a very long one -- of the email addresses - in your contact manager. Select addresses and click on - the arrows to move them into the appropriate address - columns. - - - For more information about using email together with the - contact manager and the calendar, see and . - - - - - - Replying to Email Messages - - To reply to a message, press the - Reply: button while it is selected, - or choose Reply to Sender: from - the message's right-click menu. That will open the - message composer. The - To: and Subject: - fields will already be filled, although you can alter them - if you wish. In addition, the full text of the old message - is inserted into the new message, either grey (for - HTML display) or with the > character before each line - (in plain text mode), to indicate that it's part of the - previous message. People often intersperse their message - with the quoted material as shown in . - - -
- Reply Message Window - - Evolution Main Window - - - -
- - - - If you're reading a message with several recipients, you may - wish to 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. Note that his reply - will not reach anyone that Susan put on her - Bcc list, since that list is not - shared with anyone. - - - - - If you're subscribed to a mailing list, and want your reply - to go just to the list, rather than to the sender, choose - Reply to List instead of - Reply or Reply to - All. - - What is a Mailing List? - - Mailing Lists are one of the most popular tools for - group collaboration on the Internet. Here's how they work: - - - Someone sends a message to a single address, like - evolution@ximian.com. - - - That address belongs to a program that distributes - the message to a list of recipients. - - - The mail management program lets individuals subscribe - to or unsubscribe from the list at will, without - requiring the message writers to remember the addresses - of every recipient. - - - Mailing list servers can also let network administrators - control mail flow, list membership, and even moderate - the content of mailing lists. - - - - - - - Searching and Replacing with the Composer - - You are probably familiar with search and replace features - in any sort of text-editing software, and if you come from - a Linux or Unix background, you may know what - Find Regex does. If you aren't - among the lucky who already know, here's a quick rundown of - the automated text searching features that the message - composer makes available to you. - - - - - Find: - Enter a word or phrase, and - Evolution will find it - in your message. - - - - - Find Regex: - - - Find a regex, also called a - regular - expression, in your composer window. - - - - - - 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 or not - to Search Backwards in the document - from the point where your cursor is. For all but the - regular expression search (which doesn't need it), you are - offered a check box to determine whether the search is to - be Case Sensitive when it determines - a match. - - - - - Enhance your email with HTML - - Normally, you can't set text styles or insert pictures in - emails, which is why email is often regarded as - uncommunicative and cold, and why people often resort to - using far too many exclamation points to convey their - feelings. However, most newer email programs can display - images and text styles as well as basic alignment and - paragraph formatting. They do this with HTML, just like web pages do. - - - HTML Mail is not a Default Setting - - 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 some people may - prefer not to get HTML mail, - Evolution sends plain text - unless you explicitly ask for HTML. - - - - You can change the format of an email message between - plain text and HTML by choosing - Format - HTML. - - - To send all your mail as HTML by default, set your mail - format preferences in the mail configuration dialog. See - for more - information. - - - HTML formatting tools are located in the toolbar just above - the space where you'll actually compose the message, and - 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 over the buttons. The buttons fall - into four 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 the highly - organized. - - - Using Bullets to Make Your Email More - Attractive - - Often times, people use asterisks instead of real bullets. - Not only do asterisks look nicer, but - Evolution will word wrap for you, - which makes your text looks nicer. - - - - - - Text style: - - - Use these buttons to determine the way your letters - look. If you have text selected, the style will - apply to the selected text. If you do not have text - selected, the style will apply to whatever you type - next. The buttons are: - - Push B for bold text - Push I for italics - Push U to underline - Push S for a strikethrough. - - - - - - Alignment: - - - Located next to the text style buttons, these three - paragraph icons should be familiar to users of most - word processing software. The leftmost button will - make your text aligned to the left, the center - button, centered, and the right hand button, - aligned on the right side. - - - - - - Indentation rules: - - - The button with the arrow pointing left will reduce - a paragraph's indentation, and the right arrow will - increase its indentation. - - - - - - Color Selection: - - - At the far right is the color section tool. The - colored box displays the current text color; to - choose a new one, click the arrow button just to the - right. If you have text selected, the color will - apply to the selected text. If you do not have text - selected, the color will apply to whatever you type - next. You can select a background color or image by - right-clicking on the message background and - selecting Page. - - - - - - - The Insert gives you opinions which let you - spruce up your email to make it more interesting: - - - Link: - - - Lets you link some text to a website. Use this tool to put hyperlinks in your HTML - messages. If you don't want special link text, you can just enter the address - directly, and Evolution - will recognize it as a link. To add a link: - - - - Select the text you wish to link from. - - - - - Right click on the text and click on Link. - - - - - Put the URL you want to use in the URL field. - - - - - Click OK. - - - - - - - If you're typing a webpage address to be automatically formatted, keep in mind that a space terminates the link. - - - - - - Image: - - - Lets you put an image alongside text. - - - To insert an image into your email: - - - - Open a new email by clicking New Message - - - - - Make sure that you have the - - Format - HTML - - selector checked. - - - - - Click the Insert Image button in the toolbar, or select - - Insert - Image - . - - - - - Choose your image by clicking the Browse button. - - - - - Press Insert to insert the image. - - - - - - - - Rule: - - - Inserts a horizontal line into the text to help divide two - sections. - - - To insert a rule: - - - - Open a new email by clicking New Message - - - - - Make sure that you have the - - Format - HTML - - selector checked. - - - - - Click the Rule button in the Toolbar. - - - - - Select the type of rule. You can use a plain - line, a 3D line, or a yellow line with flowers. - - - - - Choose the size of the line, as a percentage of the width of the email window. - - - - - - Choose the alignment and style. For the plain - line, you can choose the thickness of the line, - and whether it will be shaded, or solid. For the - other types, you can only choose alignment. - - - - - - Click Insert to insert the rule. - - - - - - - - Table: - - - Inserts a table into the text to help divide two - sections. - - - To insert a rule: - - - - Open a new email by clicking New Message - - - - - Make sure that you have the - - Format - HTML - - selector checked. - - - - - Click the Table button in the Toolbar. - - - - - Select the Template you wish to use. Each template has a slightly different feel and layout. - - - - - If you so desire, you may change the other options such as: number of rows, columns, spacing of each cell, and more. - - - - - Click the Insert button. - - - - - - - - To add a hyperlink to your HTML message: - - - - Select the text you want to display as a link. - - - - - Right click on text and select - Link - - - - - Enter the address you wish to link to in the - URL field. - - - - - Press OK. - - - - - - - To add an image to your HTML message: - - - - Select - - Insert - Image - . - - - - - Click Browse to select the image - you want to include in your email. - - - - - - Along the right side of the window, choose the alignment, - border, and other attributes of the image. If you change - the size attributes, the image will be shrunk or stretched - to fit the size you have chosen. - - - - - - If you would like to make the image a clickable link, - enter a URL in the Link tab of the - window. - - - - - - When you are finished, press - Insert to include the image in - your message. - - - - - - You can insert an image into the background of your message by - right-clicking on the message background and selecting - Page. From that dialog, you may - also select background color and set other general options - about the html message you are composing. - - - HTML Templates - - Evolution not only allows you to - decorate your email with HTML text and graphics, but - provides you with prebuilt templates for you to use when - making these improvements. You can use these to emphasize a - point or frame an image in an attractive manner. - - - To include a template into your HTML based email: - - - - Create a new email by clicking New Message. - - - - - Make sure that the - - - Format - - - HTML - - - selector is checked. - - - - - Click the HTML Template button in the - Toolbar or select - - - Insert - - - HTML Template - - - - - - - Select the template type in the - Template selection box. Your - options are Note and - Image Frame. - - - - - Set the size and alignment of the HTML template. - - - - - - Click Insert to insert it where the - cursor is. - - - - - Click on the text in the template, and enter the text - you want to use. - - - If you have selected an image frame template, - right-click on the image and select - Image to select the image - you want to place in the frame. - - - - - - - Tables in Email - - Evolution allows you to put - tables in your HTML email to help organize your thoughts. - These tables are a simplified version of what you might find - in a spreadsheet program like - Gnumeric. - - - To include a table in your email: - - - - Create a new email by clicking New Message. - - - - - Make sure you have the - - - Format - - - HTML - - - selector checked. - - - - - - Select - - - Insert - - - Table - - - or click the Table button in the - toolbar. - - - - - - Select the template, or style, you want to use for the - table. - - - - - Set the number of rows and columns you want. - - - - - Click the Insert button. - - - - - Click in a cell and type to insert text into the table. - - - - - - You can also edit a table after creation. Just right-click - on it and select Table to open - the table editing window again. Or, you can select items - from the Table Delete and Table - Insert menus. - - - - - Deleting an Entire Table - - You can delete an entire table by right-clicking on - a table or other HTML object in a message, and selecting - - Table Delete - Table . In an - HMTL message, your signature, templates, and image - inclusions all have tables around them, and you can remove - them completely and quickly with this shortcut. - - - - - - - - - Forwarding Mail - - The post office forwards your mail for you when you change - addresses, and you can forward a letter if it comes to you by mistake. - The email Forward button - works in much the same way. It's particularly useful if you - have received a message and you think someone else would - like to see it. You can forward a message as an attachment - to a new message (this is the default) or - you can send it inline as a quoted - portion of the message you are sending. Attachment - forwarding is best if you want to send the full, unaltered - message on 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 where, if at all, you have removed or - altered content. - - - To forward a message you are reading, press - Forward on the toolbar, or select - Message - Forward . If you - prefer to forward the message inline - instead of attached, select - Message Forward - Inline from the menu. Choose an - addressee as you would when sending a new message; the - subject will already be entered, but you can alter it. - Enter your comments on the message in the - composition frame, and press - Send. - - - - - Seven Tips for Email Courtesy - - - - - - - Don't send spam or forward chain mail. If you must, - watch out for hoaxes and urban legends, and make sure - the message doesn't have multiple layers of - greater-than signs, (>) indicating multiple layers - of careless in-line forwarding. - - - - - - Always begin and close with a salutation. Say "please" - and "thank you," just like you do in real life. You - can keep your pleasantries short, but be pleasant! - - - - - - WRITING IN CAPITAL LETTERS MEANS YOU'RE SHOUTING! - Don't write a whole message in capital letters. It - hurts people's ears. - - - - - - Check your spelling and use complete sentences. By - default, Evolution will put - a red line beneath words it doesn't recognize, as you - type them. - - - - - - Don't send nasty emails (flames). If you get one, - don't write back. - - - - - - When you reply or forward, include just enough of - the previous message to provide context: not too - much, not too little. - - - - - - Don't send spam. - - - - - - - Making Your Email More Fancy - - Evolution can do a lot with email - by utilizing the HTML features. Making an email functional - and visually attractive can be challenging. The following - section provides tips to make your mail functional, while - being more visually attractive than ever. - - - Sections Outlined in Bold - - Indented sections are a great way to categorize and group - your thoughts together. Below is an example of indented - text with headings to help separate your thoughts into the - proper sections: -
- Indented Text with Headlines - - - - -
- - - This message is not only more attractive, but more - informative. Each section is broken down into subsctions. - The title for each section is in bold text, with the - following content indented. - - - You may want to increase the size of your section headlings - instead of merely putting them in bold. Header size 4 is - often the best choice, since it is not too large. You can - change your text to size 4 by selecting it and pressing - Ctrl+4. You can set your text to the normal text size by - hitting Ctrl+0. - - - - Bulleted Lists - - Select the Bulleted List option - from the text style drop-down box to begin making a bulleted - list. Evolution will handle the - word wrap and indentation for you. If you prefer to send - the message in plain text, you can still write it up in - HTML, and Evolution will convert - to a well-formed plain-text bulleted list, using asterisks - instead of HTML bullets. - - - - Images In Your Email - - Images can help people to understand your point. You can - even use a HTML Picture Frame Template in - Evolution, which looks very - attractive and sets your image off from the rest of your - message with a border and caption. - - - If you do choose to use images, try to keep them narrow. If - your images are wider than 400 pixels, the image may not fit - in the whole email window, making it hard for your reader to - read the email and view the image. Consider using a smaller - version ("thumbnail") of your image, and offering a link to - the larger version your readers can view in a web browser if - they want. -

- - - - Coloring Your Text - - Colors can help bring words or sentences out for emphasis. You - should choose your colors carefully though, as the wrong color - can be distracting. Some good colors to use would be: - - - - Light brown - - - - - Dull purple - - - - - Dark red - - - - - Notice how these colors are similar saturation - - - Happy mailing! - - - - - - RSVPs in Mail - - If you create an event in the calendar component, you can then - send invitations to the attendee list through the - Ximian Evolution email tool. The - invitation card is sent as an attachment in iCal format. - - - If you click on the attachment button and click the - View Inline, Ximian - Evolution will show you information about the - meeting, and let you respond to the meeting in several ways. - Select the response that you would like, and then click the - OK button. - - - Your options are: - - - Accept: - - - Select this entry if you will attend the meeting. When you - click the OK button, the meeting will - be entered into your calendar. - - - - - - Tentatively Accept: - - - Select this entry if you will probably attend the meeting. - When you click the OK button, the - meeting will be entered into your calendar, but marked as - tentative. - - - - - - Decline: - - - Select this item if you will be unable to attend the - meeting. The meeting will not be entered into your calendar - when you click the OK, although your - response will be sent to the meeting host if you have - checked the RSVP box. - - - - - - RSVP: - - - Check this box if you would like your response sent to - the meeting organizers. - - - - - - - - - Subscription Management - - Since 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. That's why - Evolution has an IMAP subscriptions - manager. If you prefer to have every mail folder displayed, you - can select that option as well. However, if you'd like to choose - specific items in your mailbox, and exclude others, you can use - the subscription management tool to do that. - - - Here's how: - - - - - Select - ToolsSubscribe - to Folders. - - - - - - If you have accounts on multiple IMAP servers, select the - server where you'd like to manage your - subscriptions. Evolution will - display a list of available files and folders. - - - - - - Select a file or folder by clicking on it. You will want - to select at least the INBOX - folder. Depending upon the way your IMAP server is - configured, the list of available files may include - non-mail folders. If it does, you can ignore them. - - - - - - Click the Subscribe to add it to - the subscribed list. - - - - - When you have subscribed to the folders you want, close - the window. - - - - - - - - Encryption - - What is Encryption? - - Encryption is an ancient method of keeping information safe - from prying eyes. Evolution helps - you you protect your privacy by using - gpg, an implementation of strong - Public Key - Encryption. - - - - Public Key? Private Key? What is the difference? - - GPG uses two keys: public and private. You can give your - public key to anyone you want to receive - encrypted messages, or put it on a public key server so - that people can look it up before contacting you. - Never give your private key to anyone, - ever. Your private key lets you decrypt any - message encrypted with your public key. - - - - - Using encryption takes a bit of forethought. When you send a - message that is encrypted, you must encrypt it using your - intended recipient's public key. To get - an encrypted message, you must make sure that the sender has - your public key in advance. For signing messages, it's - reversed: you encrypt the signature with your private key, so - only your public key can unlock it. When you send it, the - recipient gets your public key and unlocks the signature, - verifying your identity. - - - - You can use encryption in two different ways: - - - Encrypt the entire message, so that nobody but the recipient can read it. - - - Attach an encrypted signature to a plain text message, so - that the recipient can read the message without decrypting - it, and only needs decryption to verify the sender's - identity. - - - - - - Sending an Encrypted Messagee - - 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. - - - - Always Sign - - You can set Evolution to always sign your email messages: - - - - Open your account preferences. - - - - - Open the Security tab. - - - - - Click the Always sign outgoing messages when using this account button. - - - - - - - - - - - Making Encryption Keys - - Before you can get or send encrypted mail, you need to - generate your public and private keys with GPG. Here's how: - - - GPG Versions - - This manual covers version 1.0.6 of GPG. If your version is - different, this may not be entirely accurate. You may find - out your version number by typing in: gpg - --version. - - - - - - - Open a terminal and type gpg --gen-key. - - - - - - Choose the default algorythm, "DSA and ElGamal." - - - - - - Choose a key length. The default, 1024 bits, should be - long enough. - - - - - - Decide if you want your key to expire automatically, and if so, when. - - - - - - - Enter your name, email address, and any additional - personal information you think is appropriate. Do not - falsify this information, because it will be needed to - verify your identity later on. - - - - - - Next, enter your passphrase. It does not have to be the - same as your email password or your login password. In - fact, it probably shouldn't. Don't forget it. If you lose - it, your keys will be useless and you will be unable to - decrypt messages sent to you with those keys. - - - - - - Now, GPG will generate your keys. This may take awhile, - so feel free to do something else while it's - happening. In fact, using your computer for something - else actually helps to generate better keys, because it - increases the randomness in the key generation seeds. - - - - - - Once the keys are generated, you can view your key information - by typing gpg --list-keys. You should see - something similar to this: - - /home/you/.gnupg/pubring.gpg - ---------------------------- - pub 1024D/32j38dk2 2001-06-20 you <you@your-address.com> - sub 1024g/289sklj3 2001-06-20 [expires: 2002-11-14] - - - - GPG will create 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 wish, you can upload your keys to a keyserver. Here's - how: - - - - Check your public key ID with gpg ---list-keys. It will be the string after 1024D on the line -beginning with "pub." In this example, it's 32j38dk2. - - - - - Enter the command gpg --send-keys --keyserver -wwwkeys.pgp.net 32j38dk2. Substitute your key ID for -32j38dk2. You will need your password to do this. - - - - - - Why Use a Keyserver? - - Keyservers store your public keys for you so that your - friends can decrypt your messages. If you choose not to - use a keyserver, you can manually send your people public - key, include it in your signature file, or put it on your - own web page. However, it's easier to publish them once, - and then let people download them from the keyserver when - they want. - - - If you don't have a key you need to unlock or encrypt a - message, you can have your encryption tool set to look it - up automatically. If it can't find the key, then you'll - get an error message. - - - - - - - - Getting and Using Public Keys - - To encrypt a message to your someone else you'll need to use - their public key in combination with your private key. - Evolution does that for you, but - you still need to get their 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 - will need to type in your password, and then their ID will - automatically be added to your keyring. When you send mail to - them, Evolution will allow you to - encrypt your messages. - - - If someone sends you their public key directly, save it as a - plain text file and enter the command gpg - filename. This will add it to your keyring. - - - - - Setting up Evolution's Encryption - - You'll need to open - - Tools - Settings - - and select the Mail Accounts button, then - select the account you want to use securely, and click the - Edit button. Then, select the - Security tab in the account dialog. In the - Security tab is a section labeled - Pretty Good Privacy. Enter your key ID - and click OK. Your key is now - integrated into your identity in - Evolution. - - - What is my Key ID again? - - 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 console window. Your key ID will be an eight character string with random numbers and letters. - - - - - - Sending Encrypted Messages - - As you know, you can use encryption to hide the entire - message, or just to verify your signature. Once you've - generated your public and private keys, and have the public - keys of the people to whom you want to send mail, here's what - to do: - - - - - Signing a Message - - To sign a message, choose: - - Security - PGP Sign - - . You will be prompted for your PGP password. Once you enter it, - click OK and your message will be signed. - - - - - Encrypting a Message - - Encrypting a message is very similar to signing a message. - Just choose the menu item - - Security - PGP Encrypt - - - - - Unencrypting a Received Message - - If you get an encrypted message, you will need to decrypt it - before you read it. Remember, the sender has to have your - public key before they can send you an encrypted message. - - - When you view the message, - Evolution will ask you for your - PGP password. Enter it, and the message will be displayed - properly. - - - - diff --git a/help/C/usage-mail.xml b/help/C/usage-mail.xml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..50c2245c84 --- /dev/null +++ b/help/C/usage-mail.xml @@ -0,0 +1,2209 @@ + + Using Evolution for Email + + This chapter, and , will + provide you with an in-depth guide to the capabilities of + Evolution as a mail client.

+ New Message Window + + Evolution Main Window + + + +
+ + + + Enter an address in the To: field. If you + wish, enter a subject in the Subject:, and + a message in the box at the bottom of the window. + Once you have written your message, press + Send. + + + + Sending Composed Messages Later + + Evolution will send mail + immediately unless you tell it to do otherwise by selecting + File Send + Later. This will add your + messages to the Outbox queue. The + "Send Later" feature is particularly useful if you use a + modem to connect to the Internet and pay per-minute + charges: you can remain offline until you need to send + mail, then connect and send all your mail at once. Mail in + the outbox is sent when you click + Send/Receive in the main window. + + + To learn more about how you can specify message queue and + filter behavior, see . + + + + You can also choose to save messages as drafts or as text + files. Your options are: + + + Choose + + File + Save Draft + + to store your messages in the drafts folder for later + revision. + + + + If you'd like to have the message sent later, you + can choose Send Later. That way, + the message will be added to the queue, and you can send a + batch of messages all at once. + + + + If you prefer to save your message as a text file, + choose Save As and then choose a + file name. + + + + + + + + Working Offline + + Offline mode is a tool designed for use with a dialup + connection or for laptop users who do not have a network + connection at all times. It allows you to cache messages + for reference while you are not connected to the + network, and to compose messages and leave them in your + Outbox to be sent the next time you connect to the network. + + + Select + FileWork + Offline to have + Ximian Evolution disconnect + from the Internet while you work. When you want to + reconnect, choose + FileWork + Online. Alternativly, you + can click the connection button at the bottom left side + of the window. + + + If you use POP mail, all your messages will be + available to you, because they are stored locally. If + you use IMAP or Exchange mail, messages are stored + remotely, so availability is a little different. + + + Messages that you have read are cached and stored + locally; all read messages will be available to you + even if you are offline. Unread messages will be + downloaded and saved for offline use if they are in a + folder that you have marked as an Offline Folder. To + mark a folder for offline use, select + Settings + Preferences and + then click the Folders icon. In + the Offline Folders tab, click the + check-box next to the folders that you would like to + use while you are offline. Then, when you select + Go Offline, Evolution will + fetch their contents and store them for later + reference. + + + + More About Mail Composition + + In the next few sections, you'll see how + Evolution handles advanced email + features, including large recipient lists, attachments, and + forwarding. + + + Attachments + + To attach a file to your email: + + + + Push the attach button in the composer toolbar + + + + + Select the file you want to attach + + + + + Press OK + + + + + + You can drag a file from your desktop into the composer window to + attach it as well. + + + To hide the display of files you've attached to the + message, select + View Hide + Attachments ; to show them + again, choose Show Attachments. + + + When you send the message, a copy of the attached file + will go with it. Be aware that big attachments can take a + long time to download. + + + + + Specifying Recipients for Email + + Evolution, like most email + programs, recognizes three types of addressee: 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. To send mail to + more than one or two people, you can use the + Cc: field. + + + Hearkening back to the dark ages when people used + typewriters and there were no copy machines, "Cc" stands + for "Carbon Copy." Use it whenever you want to share a + message you've written to someone else. + + + Bcc: is a little more complex. You + use it like Cc:, but people on the + Bcc: list are hidden from the other + recipients of the message. 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 Contact Manager, and + then send them mail as though they had a single address. + To learn how to do that, read . + + + + Setting Reply-to On a Per-Mail Basis + + Evolution has the ability to + let you specify the Reply-To in an email. Using this, you + can setup a special Reply-To for an email. To do this: + + + + Open a composer window + + + + + Open the Reply-To field by selecting + + View + Reply To + + + + + + Enter the address you wish to have be the + Reply-To address in the new Reply-To field. + + + + + + + + + Choosing Recipients Quickly + + If you have created address cards in the contact manager, + you can also enter nicknames or other portions of address + data, and Evolution will offer a + drop down list of possible address completions from your + address book. If you enter a name or nickname that can go + with more than one card, Evolution will open a dialog box to + ask you which person you meant. + + + + + + + Alternately, you can click on the + To:, Cc:, or + Bcc: buttons to get a list -- + potentially a very long one -- of the email addresses + in your contact manager. Select addresses and click on + the arrows to move them into the appropriate address + columns. + + + For more information about using email together with the + contact manager and the calendar, see and . + + + + + + Replying to Email Messages + + To reply to a message, press the + Reply: button while it is selected, + or choose Reply to Sender: from + the message's right-click menu. That will open the + message composer. The + To: and Subject: + fields will already be filled, although you can alter them + if you wish. In addition, the full text of the old message + is inserted into the new message, either grey (for + HTML display) or with the > character before each line + (in plain text mode), to indicate that it's part of the + previous message. People often intersperse their message + with the quoted material as shown in . + + +
+ Reply Message Window + + Evolution Main Window + + + +
+ + + + If you're reading a message with several recipients, you may + wish to 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. Note that his reply + will not reach anyone that Susan put on her + Bcc list, since that list is not + shared with anyone. + + + + + If you're subscribed to a mailing list, and want your reply + to go just to the list, rather than to the sender, choose + Reply to List instead of + Reply or Reply to + All. + + What is a Mailing List? + + Mailing Lists are one of the most popular tools for + group collaboration on the Internet. Here's how they work: + + + Someone sends a message to a single address, like + evolution@ximian.com. + + + That address belongs to a program that distributes + the message to a list of recipients. + + + The mail management program lets individuals subscribe + to or unsubscribe from the list at will, without + requiring the message writers to remember the addresses + of every recipient. + + + Mailing list servers can also let network administrators + control mail flow, list membership, and even moderate + the content of mailing lists. + + + + + + + Searching and Replacing with the Composer + + You are probably familiar with search and replace features + in any sort of text-editing software, and if you come from + a Linux or Unix background, you may know what + Find Regex does. If you aren't + among the lucky who already know, here's a quick rundown of + the automated text searching features that the message + composer makes available to you. + + + + + Find: + Enter a word or phrase, and + Evolution will find it + in your message. + + + + + Find Regex: + + + Find a regex, also called a + regular + expression, in your composer window. + + + + + + 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 or not + to Search Backwards in the document + from the point where your cursor is. For all but the + regular expression search (which doesn't need it), you are + offered a check box to determine whether the search is to + be Case Sensitive when it determines + a match. + + + + + Enhance your email with HTML + + Normally, you can't set text styles or insert pictures in + emails, which is why email is often regarded as + uncommunicative and cold, and why people often resort to + using far too many exclamation points to convey their + feelings. However, most newer email programs can display + images and text styles as well as basic alignment and + paragraph formatting. They do this with HTML, just like web pages do. + + + HTML Mail is not a Default Setting + + 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 some people may + prefer not to get HTML mail, + Evolution sends plain text + unless you explicitly ask for HTML. + + + + You can change the format of an email message between + plain text and HTML by choosing + Format + HTML. + + + To send all your mail as HTML by default, set your mail + format preferences in the mail configuration dialog. See + for more + information. + + + HTML formatting tools are located in the toolbar just above + the space where you'll actually compose the message, and + 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 over the buttons. The buttons fall + into four 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 the highly + organized. + + + Using Bullets to Make Your Email More + Attractive + + Often times, people use asterisks instead of real bullets. + Not only do asterisks look nicer, but + Evolution will word wrap for you, + which makes your text looks nicer. + + + + + + Text style: + + + Use these buttons to determine the way your letters + look. If you have text selected, the style will + apply to the selected text. If you do not have text + selected, the style will apply to whatever you type + next. The buttons are: + + Push B for bold text + Push I for italics + Push U to underline + Push S for a strikethrough. + + + + + + Alignment: + + + Located next to the text style buttons, these three + paragraph icons should be familiar to users of most + word processing software. The leftmost button will + make your text aligned to the left, the center + button, centered, and the right hand button, + aligned on the right side. + + + + + + Indentation rules: + + + The button with the arrow pointing left will reduce + a paragraph's indentation, and the right arrow will + increase its indentation. + + + + + + Color Selection: + + + At the far right is the color section tool. The + colored box displays the current text color; to + choose a new one, click the arrow button just to the + right. If you have text selected, the color will + apply to the selected text. If you do not have text + selected, the color will apply to whatever you type + next. You can select a background color or image by + right-clicking on the message background and + selecting Page. + + + + + + + The Insert gives you opinions which let you + spruce up your email to make it more interesting: + + + Link: + + + Lets you link some text to a website. Use this tool to put hyperlinks in your HTML + messages. If you don't want special link text, you can just enter the address + directly, and Evolution + will recognize it as a link. To add a link: + + + + Select the text you wish to link from. + + + + + Right click on the text and click on Link. + + + + + Put the URL you want to use in the URL field. + + + + + Click OK. + + + + + + + If you're typing a webpage address to be automatically formatted, keep in mind that a space terminates the link. + + + + + + Image: + + + Lets you put an image alongside text. + + + To insert an image into your email: + + + + Open a new email by clicking New Message + + + + + Make sure that you have the + + Format + HTML + + selector checked. + + + + + Click the Insert Image button in the toolbar, or select + + Insert + Image + . + + + + + Choose your image by clicking the Browse button. + + + + + Press Insert to insert the image. + + + + + + + + Rule: + + + Inserts a horizontal line into the text to help divide two + sections. + + + To insert a rule: + + + + Open a new email by clicking New Message + + + + + Make sure that you have the + + Format + HTML + + selector checked. + + + + + Click the Rule button in the Toolbar. + + + + + Select the type of rule. You can use a plain + line, a 3D line, or a yellow line with flowers. + + + + + Choose the size of the line, as a percentage of the width of the email window. + + + + + + Choose the alignment and style. For the plain + line, you can choose the thickness of the line, + and whether it will be shaded, or solid. For the + other types, you can only choose alignment. + + + + + + Click Insert to insert the rule. + + + + + + + + Table: + + + Inserts a table into the text to help divide two + sections. + + + To insert a rule: + + + + Open a new email by clicking New Message + + + + + Make sure that you have the + + Format + HTML + + selector checked. + + + + + Click the Table button in the Toolbar. + + + + + Select the Template you wish to use. Each template has a slightly different feel and layout. + + + + + If you so desire, you may change the other options such as: number of rows, columns, spacing of each cell, and more. + + + + + Click the Insert button. + + + + + + + + To add a hyperlink to your HTML message: + + + + Select the text you want to display as a link. + + + + + Right click on text and select + Link + + + + + Enter the address you wish to link to in the + URL field. + + + + + Press OK. + + + + + + + To add an image to your HTML message: + + + + Select + + Insert + Image + . + + + + + Click Browse to select the image + you want to include in your email. + + + + + + Along the right side of the window, choose the alignment, + border, and other attributes of the image. If you change + the size attributes, the image will be shrunk or stretched + to fit the size you have chosen. + + + + + + If you would like to make the image a clickable link, + enter a URL in the Link tab of the + window. + + + + + + When you are finished, press + Insert to include the image in + your message. + + + + + + You can insert an image into the background of your message by + right-clicking on the message background and selecting + Page. From that dialog, you may + also select background color and set other general options + about the html message you are composing. + + + HTML Templates + + Evolution not only allows you to + decorate your email with HTML text and graphics, but + provides you with prebuilt templates for you to use when + making these improvements. You can use these to emphasize a + point or frame an image in an attractive manner. + + + To include a template into your HTML based email: + + + + Create a new email by clicking New Message. + + + + + Make sure that the + + + Format + + + HTML + + + selector is checked. + + + + + Click the HTML Template button in the + Toolbar or select + + + Insert + + + HTML Template + + + + + + + Select the template type in the + Template selection box.

Just right-click + on it and select Table to open + the table editing window again. Or, you can select items + from the Table Delete and Table + Insert menus. + + + + + Deleting an Entire Table + + You can delete an entire table by right-clicking on + a table or other HTML object in a message, and selecting + + Table Delete + Table . In an + HMTL message, your signature, templates, and image + inclusions all have tables around them, and you can remove + them completely and quickly with this shortcut. + + + + + + + + + Forwarding Mail + + The post office forwards your mail for you when you change + addresses, and you can forward a letter if it comes to you by mistake. + The email Forward button + works in much the same way. It's particularly useful if you + have received a message and you think someone else would + like to see it. You can forward a message as an attachment + to a new message (this is the default) or + you can send it inline as a quoted + portion of the message you are sending. Attachment + forwarding is best if you want to send the full, unaltered + message on 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 where, if at all, you have removed or + altered content. + + + To forward a message you are reading, press + Forward on the toolbar, or select + Message + Forward . If you + prefer to forward the message inline + instead of attached, select + Message Forward + Inline from the menu. Choose an + addressee as you would when sending a new message; the + subject will already be entered, but you can alter it. + Enter your comments on the message in the + composition frame, and press + Send. + + + + + Seven Tips for Email Courtesy + + + + + + + Don't send spam or forward chain mail. If you must, + watch out for hoaxes and urban legends, and make sure + the message doesn't have multiple layers of + greater-than signs, (>) indicating multiple layers + of careless in-line forwarding. + + + + + + Always begin and close with a salutation. Say "please" + and "thank you," just like you do in real life. You + can keep your pleasantries short, but be pleasant! + + + + + + WRITING IN CAPITAL LETTERS MEANS YOU'RE SHOUTING! + Don't write a whole message in capital letters. It + hurts people's ears. + + + + + + Check your spelling and use complete sentences. By + default, Evolution will put + a red line beneath words it doesn't recognize, as you + type them. + + + + + + Don't send nasty emails (flames). If you get one, + don't write back. + + + + + + When you reply or forward, include just enough of + the previous message to provide context: not too + much, not too little. + + + + + + Don't send spam. + + + + + + + Making Your Email More Fancy + + Evolution can do a lot with email + by utilizing the HTML features. Making an email functional + and visually attractive can be challenging. The following + section provides tips to make your mail functional, while + being more visually attractive than ever. + + + Sections Outlined in Bold + + Indented sections are a great way to categorize and group + your thoughts together. Below is an example of indented + text with headings to help separate your thoughts into the + proper sections: +
+ Indented Text with Headlines + + + + +
+ + + This message is not only more attractive, but more + informative. Each section is broken down into subsctions. + The title for each section is in bold text, with the + following content indented. + + + You may want to increase the size of your section headlings + instead of merely putting them in bold. Header size 4 is + often the best choice, since it is not too large. You can + change your text to size 4 by selecting it and pressing + Ctrl+4. You can set your text to the normal text size by + hitting Ctrl+0. + + + + Bulleted Lists + + Select the Bulleted List option + from the text style drop-down box to begin making a bulleted + list. Evolution will handle the + word wrap and indentation for you. If you prefer to send + the message in plain text, you can still write it up in + HTML, and Evolution will convert + to a well-formed plain-text bulleted list, using asterisks + instead of HTML bullets. + + + + Images In Your Email + + Images can help people to understand your point. You can + even use a HTML Picture Frame Template in + Evolution, which looks very + attractive and sets your image off from the rest of your + message with a border and caption. + + + If you do choose to use images, try to keep them narrow. If + your images are wider than 400 pixels, the image may not fit + in the whole email window, making it hard for your reader to + read the email and view the image. Consider using a smaller + version ("thumbnail") of your image, and offering a link to + the larger version your readers can view in a web browser if + they want. +
+ Images in an email + + + + +
+ + + + Coloring Your Text + + Colors can help bring words or sentences out for emphasis. You + should choose your colors carefully though, as the wrong color + can be distracting. Some good colors to use would be: + + + + Light brown + + + + + Dull purple + + + + + Dark red + + + + + Notice how these colors are similar saturation + + + Happy mailing! + + + + + + RSVPs in Mail + + If you create an event in the calendar component, you can then + send invitations to the attendee list through the + Ximian Evolution email tool. The + invitation card is sent as an attachment in iCal format. + + + If you click on the attachment button and click the + View Inline, Ximian + Evolution will show you information about the + meeting, and let you respond to the meeting in several ways. + Select the response that you would like, and then click the + OK button. + + + Your options are: + + + Accept: + + + Select this entry if you will attend the meeting. When you + click the OK button, the meeting will + be entered into your calendar. + + + + + + Tentatively Accept: + + + Select this entry if you will probably attend the meeting. + When you click the OK button, the + meeting will be entered into your calendar, but marked as + tentative. + + + + + + Decline: + + + Select this item if you will be unable to attend the + meeting. The meeting will not be entered into your calendar + when you click the OK, although your + response will be sent to the meeting host if you have + checked the RSVP box. + + + + + + RSVP: + + + Check this box if you would like your response sent to + the meeting organizers. + + + + + + + + + Subscription Management + + Since 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. That's why + Evolution has an IMAP subscriptions + manager. If you prefer to have every mail folder displayed, you + can select that option as well. However, if you'd like to choose + specific items in your mailbox, and exclude others, you can use + the subscription management tool to do that. + + + Here's how: + + + + + Select + ToolsSubscribe + to Folders. + + + + + + If you have accounts on multiple IMAP servers, select the + server where you'd like to manage your + subscriptions. Evolution will + display a list of available files and folders. + + + + + + Select a file or folder by clicking on it. You will want + to select at least the INBOX + folder. Depending upon the way your IMAP server is + configured, the list of available files may include + non-mail folders. If it does, you can ignore them. + + + + + + Click the Subscribe to add it to + the subscribed list. + + + + + When you have subscribed to the folders you want, close + the window. + + + + + + + + Encryption + + What is Encryption? + + Encryption is an ancient method of keeping information safe + from prying eyes. Evolution helps + you you protect your privacy by using + gpg, an implementation of strong + Public Key + Encryption. + + + + Public Key? Private Key? What is the difference? + + GPG uses two keys: public and private. You can give your + public key to anyone you want to receive + encrypted messages, or put it on a public key server so + that people can look it up before contacting you. + Never give your private key to anyone, + ever. Your private key lets you decrypt any + message encrypted with your public key. + + + + + Using encryption takes a bit of forethought. When you send a + message that is encrypted, you must encrypt it using your + intended recipient's public key. To get + an encrypted message, you must make sure that the sender has + your public key in advance. For signing messages, it's + reversed: you encrypt the signature with your private key, so + only your public key can unlock it. When you send it, the + recipient gets your public key and unlocks the signature, + verifying your identity. + + + + You can use encryption in two different ways: + + + Encrypt the entire message, so that nobody but the recipient can read it. + + + Attach an encrypted signature to a plain text message, so + that the recipient can read the message without decrypting + it, and only needs decryption to verify the sender's + identity. + + + + + + Sending an Encrypted Messagee + + 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. + + + + Always Sign + + You can set Evolution to always sign your email messages: + + + + Open your account preferences. + + + + + Open the Security tab. + + + + + Click the Always sign outgoing messages when using this account button. + + + + + + + + + + + Making Encryption Keys + + Before you can get or send encrypted mail, you need to + generate your public and private keys with GPG. Here's how: + + + GPG Versions + + This manual covers version 1.0.6 of GPG. If your version is + different, this may not be entirely accurate. You may find + out your version number by typing in: gpg + --version. + + + + + + + Open a terminal and type gpg --gen-key. + + + + + + Choose the default algorythm, "DSA and ElGamal." + + + + + + Choose a key length. The default, 1024 bits, should be + long enough. + + + + + + Decide if you want your key to expire automatically, and if so, when. + + + + + + + Enter your name, email address, and any additional + personal information you think is appropriate. Do not + falsify this information, because it will be needed to + verify your identity later on. + + + + + + Next, enter your passphrase. It does not have to be the + same as your email password or your login password. In + fact, it probably shouldn't. Don't forget it. If you lose + it, your keys will be useless and you will be unable to + decrypt messages sent to you with those keys. + + + + + + Now, GPG will generate your keys. This may take awhile, + so feel free to do something else while it's + happening. In fact, using your computer for something + else actually helps to generate better keys, because it + increases the randomness in the key generation seeds. + + + + + + Once the keys are generated, you can view your key information + by typing gpg --list-keys. You should see + something similar to this: + + /home/you/.gnupg/pubring.gpg + ---------------------------- + pub 1024D/32j38dk2 2001-06-20 you <you@your-address.com> + sub 1024g/289sklj3 2001-06-20 [expires: 2002-11-14] + + + + GPG will create 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 wish, you can upload your keys to a keyserver. Here's + how: + + + + Check your public key ID with gpg +--list-keys. It will be the string after 1024D on the line +beginning with "pub." In this example, it's 32j38dk2. + + + + + Enter the command gpg --send-keys --keyserver +wwwkeys.pgp.net 32j38dk2. Substitute your key ID for +32j38dk2. You will need your password to do this. + + + + + + Why Use a Keyserver? + + Keyservers store your public keys for you so that your + friends can decrypt your messages. If you choose not to + use a keyserver, you can manually send your people public + key, include it in your signature file, or put it on your + own web page. However, it's easier to publish them once, + and then let people download them from the keyserver when + they want. + + + If you don't have a key you need to unlock or encrypt a + message, you can have your encryption tool set to look it + up automatically. If it can't find the key, then you'll + get an error message. + + + + + + + + Getting and Using Public Keys + + To encrypt a message to your someone else you'll need to use + their public key in combination with your private key. + Evolution does that for you, but + you still need to get their 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 + will need to type in your password, and then their ID will + automatically be added to your keyring. When you send mail to + them, Evolution will allow you to + encrypt your messages. + + + If someone sends you their public key directly, save it as a + plain text file and enter the command gpg + filename. This will add it to your keyring. + + + + + Setting up Evolution's Encryption + + You'll need to open + + Tools + Settings + + and select the Mail Accounts button, then + select the account you want to use securely, and click the + Edit button. Then, select the + Security tab in the account dialog. In the + Security tab is a section labeled + Pretty Good Privacy. Enter your key ID + and click OK. Your key is now + integrated into your identity in + Evolution. + + + What is my Key ID again? + + 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 console window. Your key ID will be an eight character string with random numbers and letters. + + + + + + Sending Encrypted Messages + + As you know, you can use encryption to hide the entire + message, or just to verify your signature. Once you've + generated your public and private keys, and have the public + keys of the people to whom you want to send mail, here's what + to do: + + + + + Signing a Message + + To sign a message, choose: + + Security + PGP Sign + + . You will be prompted for your PGP password. Once you enter it, + click OK and your message will be signed. + + + + + Encrypting a Message + + Encrypting a message is very similar to signing a message. + Just choose the menu item + + Security + PGP Encrypt + + + + + Unencrypting a Received Message + + If you get an encrypted message, you will need to decrypt it + before you read it. Remember, the sender has to have your + public key before they can send you an encrypted message. + + + When you view the message, + Evolution will ask you for your + PGP password. Enter it, and the message will be displayed + properly. + + + + diff --git a/help/C/usage-mainwindow.sgml b/help/C/usage-mainwindow.sgml deleted file mode 100644 index 41942e798e..0000000000 --- a/help/C/usage-mainwindow.sgml +++ /dev/null @@ -1,1512 +0,0 @@ - - - Getting Started with Ximian Evolution - - - What is Ximian Evolution, and What Can It Do for Me? - - Information is useless unless it's organized and accessible; - it's hardly even worth the name if you can't look at it and be - informed.

If you're not sure, ask - your system administrator or ISP, or have - Ximian Evolution check for - you by clicking Check for supported - types. - - - - - Username: The account name you use when you login to - check your email. Normally, this is the part of your - email address before the '@' character. For Exchange - servers, it is the username you would use to log in to a - Windows workstation at your company. - - - - - Remember Password: If you prefer to not enter - your password every time you check email, press this - button. - - - - - - - - Importing Mail (Optional) - - If Ximian Evolution finds mail or - address files from another application, it will offer to - import them. If you're not sure which file format your mail - program uses, ask your system administrator. If you want, you - can skip this step and return to it at a later time by - selecting - FileImport. - - - Ximian Evolution can import the following types of - files: - - - VCard (.vcf, gcrd): - - - The addressbook 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. - - - - - - Microsoft Outlook Express 4 (.mbx): - - - Email file format used by Microsoft Outlook Express -4. For other versions of Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express, see -the workaround described in the note below. - - - - - - MBox (mbox): - - - The email box format used by Mozilla, Netscape, - Ximian Evolution, Eudora, and many other email clients. - - - - - - - - Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express Users - - Microsoft Outlook, and versions of Outlook Express after - version 4, use proprietary formats that Ximian - Evolution cannot read or import. For contacts, - you may have to email them to yourself and import them that - way. For email, there is a simpler workaround: - - - - - While using Windows, import the files into Mozilla Mail (or - another mailer, such as Netscape or Eudora, that uses the - standard mbox format). - - - - - - Copy the files to the system or partition you use for - Ximian Evolution. - - - - - - Use the Ximian Evolution import - tool to import the files. There's more information about - why this works, and how, at the Ximian support website. - - - - - - - - Netscape Users - - Before importing mail from Netscape, make sure you select - FileCompact All - Folders. If you don't, - Ximian Evolution will import and undelete - the messages in your Trash folders. - - - - - - - Exporting Files From Ximian Evolution - - Ximian Evolution uses standard file types for all its information, - so you should have no trouble taking your information - elsewhere if you want. - - - For mail, that's mbox, for calendar, - iCal, and for the address book, vCards - in a .db3 database. - - - - - - - Importing Mail from Other Mail Clients - - Chances are, you already have your email in another mail program - and don't want to lose the information. The following section - describes how to import mail from specific mail clients. - - - Importing Mail from mutt - - mutt is a text-based mail client - which is shipped with many Linux and Unix distributions. - mutt uses the standard mbox, - maildir, and MH file formats, which makes importing your mail - into Evolution easy. By default, - mutt uses the mbox file format. - - - - Open Ximian Evolution - - - - - Click - - File - Import - - or press - - Ctrl - I - . - - - - - Click Next. - - - - - Select Import a Single File - - - - - Click Browse and select the file - you would like to import from. By default, your email - is stored in ~/mbox for the mbox - format and ~/Maildir for the Maildir format. - - - - - When prompted for what folder in - Evolution to import to, - select a folder. You can also create a new folder and - drop it in there. - - - - - - - Importing Mail from KMail - - KMail is the mail client which is shipped with the KDE desktop - environment. KMail uses the standard mbox file format, which - means that importing your mail into - Evolution is easy. - - - - Open Ximian Evolution - - - - - Click - - File - Import - - or press - - Ctrl - I - . - - - - - Click Next. - - - - - Select Import a Single File - - - - - Click Browse and select the file - you would like to import from. By default, KMail stores - its information in the Mail directory of your home - directory. - - - - - When prompted for what folder in - Evolution to import to, - select a folder. You can also create a new folder and - drop it in there. - - - - - - - - - What's What in Ximian Evolution - - Now that you've gotten the first-run configuration out of the - way, you're ready to get down to work. Here's a quick - explanation of what's going on in your main - Ximian Evolution window. - - -
- The Ximian Evolution Main Window - - Inbox - - -
- - - - Menubar - - - - The Menubar gives you access to nearly all the - features that can be found in Ximian Evolution. - - - - - Toolbar - - - - The Toolbar gives you fast and easy access to the - most used features in each component. - - - - - Shortcut Bar - - - - The Shortcut Bar lets you go to your favorite - components with the click of a click of a button. - - - - - Status Bar - - - - Periodically, Ximian Evolution will need to quietly - display a message, or tell you the progress of a task. This most - often happens when you're checking or sending email. These progress - queues are shown here, in the Status Bar. - - - - - Search Tool - - - - The Search Tool lets you search through your email - with precision so you can easily find what you're looking for. - - - - - The Shortcut Bar - - Ximian Evolution's most important job is - to give you access to your information and help you use it - quickly. One way it does that is through the - shortcut bar, the column on the left - hand side of the main window. The large buttons with names - like Inbox and - Contacts are the shortcuts, and you can - select different groups of shortcuts by clicking the - rectangular group buttons. - - - Take a look at the Shortcut Bar - The shortcut buttons in that category are: - - - - Summary: - - - Start your day here. The Ximian Evolution - Summary gives you a quick - summary of new or important messages, daily - appointments and urgent tasks. You can customize - its appearance and content, and use it to access - Ximian Evolution services. - - - - - - Inbox: - - - Click the Inbox button to start - reading your mail. Your Inbox is also where you can - access Ximian Evolution's tools to filter, sort, organize, and - search your mail. - - - - - - Calendar: - - - The Calendar can store your appointments and task lists - for you. Connected to a network, you can use it to keep - a group of people on schedule and up to date. - - - - - - Tasks: - - - A full-size view of your calendar's task pad. - - - - - - Contacts: - - - The Addressbook holds contacts, with address, phone, and - other personal information. Like calendar information, - contact data can be synchronized with hand-held devices - and shared over a network. - - - - - - - - Folders and The Folder Bar - - The folder bar is a more comprehensive - way to view the information you've stored with - Ximian Evolution. It displays all your - appointments, address cards, and email in a tree that's a lot - like a file - tree-- it starts small at the top, and branches - downwards. On most computers, there will be three or four - folders at the base. First, of course, is the - Summary, a customizable summary of your - information. Below that are your Local - Folders, which hold all the - Ximian Evolution data that's stored on your - computer. After that are your network servers: LDAP servers that host shared contact - directories, and IMAP mail - folders to which you subscribe. Lastly, there are - vFolders, or virtual folders, discussed in - , - - - - A typical Local folder contains the following folders: - - - - Calendar, for appointments and - event listings. - - - - - Contacts, for address cards. - - - - - Drafts, for messages you started and didn't finish. - - - - - Inbox, for incoming mail. - - - - - - Outbox, for messages you have written - but not yet sent. This will be empty unless you use - Ximian Evolution while offline. - - - - - - Sent, for sent mail. - - - - - - Trash, a vFolder view of all the - messages you have marked for deletion but not yet - expunged. - - - - - - - Navigating without the Folder Bar or the Shortcut Bar - - You don't need the folder bar or the shortcut bar to move - around the main window. You can use the Tab - key to switch from one part of the window to another. When - you hide the folder bar, there is a menu on the left side of - the window just below the toolbar to move about the folder - tree, even with the folder and shortcut bars hidden. - - - - - If you get large volumes of mail, you'll want more folders than - just your Inbox. To create a new folder: - - - - Select - File - New - Folder - - Shift - Ctrl - E - . - - - - - Select the name of the folder in the Folder - Name field. - - - - - Select the folder type. The available options are. - - - - Calendar - - - - - Contacts - - - - - Mail - - - - - Tasks - - - - - - - - - Choose the location of the new folder. - - - - - - - Subfolders - - Ximian Evolution lets you nest folders - inside of each other, so that you can have a detailed - organizational system. - - - - Folders Have Limits - - Calendars must go in calendar folders, mail in mail - folders, and contacts in contact folders. - - - - - Right-clicking will bring up a menu for just about anything in - Ximian Evolution. If you right-click on a - folder, you'll have a menu with the following options: - - View, to view the folder. - Open in New Window to view the folder in another window. - Move, to move the folder to another location. - Copy, to duplicate the folder. - Delete, to delete the folder and all its contents. - Rename, to change its name. - Create New Folder, to create another folder in the same location. - Add to Shortcut Bar, to add the folder to your shortcut bar. - Properties, to view or change the folder properties. - - - - You can also rearrange folders and messages by dragging and - dropping them. - - - - Any time new mail arrives in a mail folder, that folder - label is displayed in bold text, along with the number of - new messages in that folder. - - - - - - The Menu Bar - - The menu bar's contents will always - provide all the possible actions for any given view of your - data. If you're looking at your Inbox, most of the menu items - will relate to mail; some will relate to other components of - Ximian Evolution and some, especially those - in the File Menu will relate to the - application as a whole. - - - - - File: - - Anything related to a file or to the - operations of the application generally falls under this - menu: creating things, saving them to disk, printing them, - and quitting the program itself. - - - - Edit: - - The Edit menu holds - useful tools that help you edit text and move it around. - - - - - View: - - This menu lets you decide how Ximian Evolution - should look. Some of the features control the appearance of - Ximian Evolution as a whole, and others - the way a particular kind of information appears. - - - - - Actions: - - Holds actions which maybe applied to a message. Normally, - if there is only one target for the action -- for - example, replying to a message -- you can find it in - the Actions menu. - - - - - Tools: - - Tools for configuring, changing, and - setting up go here. For mail, that means things like - and the - Virtual Folder Editor. For the - Calendar and the Contact - Manager, it's color, network, and layout - configuration. - - - - - Help: - - Select among these items to open the - Help Browser - and read the Ximian Evolution manual. - - - - - - - Once you've familiarized yourself with the main - window you can start doing things with it. We'll - start with the Summary, which provides a - quick overview of your Ximian - Evolution information. - - - - Introducing the Summary - - The Ximian Evolution Summary provides you with a quick - run-down of important information: your appointments for a - given day, how much new mail you have, headlines from - selected news services, and so forth. To see the Summary, - click on the Summary button in the - shortcut bar, or select the Summary - folder in the folder bar. - - - -
- The Evolution Summary - - - - -
- - - - Weather Summary - - -Shows you the latest weather updates from hundreds of cities around the world. - - - News Feeds - - -Displays up to the minute news from your favorite websites. - - - Mail Summary - - -Shows you how many email messages you have in your selected folders, waiting to be read. - - - Calendar Summary - - -Shows you your calendar. - - - Tasks - - -Shows your pending tasks - - - - - To add additional services to your Summary, or to edit the - existing services, select - - Tools - Configure and click - the Summary Settings button. - - - - - - Introducing Email - - Ximian Evolution email is like other - email programs in several ways: - - - - It can sort and organize your mail in a wide variety of - ways with folders, searches, and filters. - - - - - It can send and receive mail in HTML or as plain text, - and makes it easy to send and receive multiple file - attachments. - - - - - It supports multiple mail sources, including IMAP, POP3, and local - mbox or mh - spools and files created by other mail programs. - - - - - It lets you guard your privacy with encryption. - - - - - - However, Ximian Evolution has some - important differences. First, it's built to handle very large - amounts of mail. Both the filtering and - searching - functions were built for speed and efficiency on large volumes - of mail. There's also the Ximian Evolution - vFolder, - an advanced organizational feature not found in mainstream - mail clients. If you get a lot of mail, or if you keep every - message you get in case you need to refer to it later, you'll - find this feature especially useful. - - - Here's what the mailer looks like: - - - -
- Ximian Evolution Mail - - Inbox - - - -
- - - - Email - Viewer - - - - This is where your email is displayed. - - - - Message List - - - - The Message List displays all the emails - that you have. This includes all your read, unread, and email - that is flagged to be deleted. - - - - If you find the view pane too small, you can resize - the pane, enlarge the whole window, or double-click on the - message in the message list to have it - open in a new window. To change the sizes of a pane, just click - and hold on the divider between the two panes. Then you can drag - up and down to select the size of the panes. - - - Just like with folders, you can right-click on messages in the - message list and get a menu of possible actions: you can move, - delete, or undelete them, and create filters or vFolders based - on them. - - - Most of the mail-related actions you'll want to perform are - listed in the Message menu in the menu bar. - The most frequently used ones, like - Reply and - Forward, also appear as buttons in - the toolbar. Almost all of them are also located in the - right-click menu and as keyboard shortcuts, which tend to be - faster once you get the hang of them. You can choose - whichever way you like best; the idea is that the software - should work the way you want, rather than making you work the - way the it does. - - - - For an in-depth guide to the email capabilities of Ximian - Evolution, read . - - - - Introducing the Calendar - - To begin using the calendar, select - Calendar from the shortcut - bar. By default, the calendar starts showing - today's schedule on a ruled background. At the upper right, - there's a monthly calendar you can use to switch days. Below - that, there's a Task pad, where you can - keep a list of tasks separate from your calendar appointments. - The day view in the calendar looks like this: - - -
- Ximian Evolution Calendar View - - Ximian Evolution Contact Manager Window - - - -
- - - - - - Appointment - List - - - - The Appointment List is responsible for showing you all of - your scheduled appointments, whether they are all day appointments or simply one time - appointments that last a half an hour. - - - - - Task List - - - - The Task List compliments the - Appointment List as it keeps track of - tasks which don't have a time associated with them. Tasks can - have complex notes associated with them, and you can also note - their completeness on a percentage scale. - - - - - Calendar Window - - - - The Calendar Window has a graphical representation of - the calendar, so you can select what days to view in the Appointment - List. - - - - For more information about the calendar - read . - - - - - Introducing the Address Book - - The Ximian Evolution address book - can handle all of the functions of an address book, phone - book, or Rolodex. Of course, it's a lot easier to update - Ximian Evolution than it is to - change an actual paper book. Ximian - Evolution also allows easy synchronization with - hand-held devices and functions with LDAP directories on a network. - - - Another advantage of the Ximian Evolution - address book is its integration with the rest of the - application. For example, you can create an address card from - an email just by right-clicking on the sender's email address. - - - To open your address book, click on - Contacts in the shortcut bar, or select - one of your contacts folders from the folder bar. shows the address book in all its - organizational glory. By default, the address book shows all - your cards in alphabetical order, in a minicard view. You can select - other views from the View menu, and adjust - the width of the columns by clicking and dragging the gray - column dividers. - - - The address book looks like this: - -

The goal of + Ximian Evolution is to make the + tasks of storing, organizing, and retrieving your personal + information easier, so you can work and communicate with + others. That is, it's a highly evolved groupware program, an integral + part of the Internet-connected desktop. + + + In other words, Ximian Evolution is + a tool to help you get your work done. + + + Ximian Evolution is Free Software.

For more + information about the GPL and the FDL, visit the Free Software + Foundation's website at http://www.fsf.org. + + + + Ximian Evolution can help you work in a + group by handling email, address and other contact + information, and one or more calendars. It can do that on one + or several computers, connected directly or over a network, + for one person or for large groups. + + + + With Ximian Evolution, you can + accomplish your most common daily tasks faster. For example, it + takes only one or two clicks to enter an appointment or an + address card sent to you by email, or to send email to a contact + or appointment. Ximian Evolution + makes displays faster and more efficient, so searches are faster + and memory usage is lower. People who get lots of mail will + appreciate advanced features like VFolders, + which let you save searches as though they were ordinary mail + folders. + + + + + The First Time you Start Ximian Evolution + + To start Ximian Evolution, do either + of the following: + + + + Select Programs + Evolution from your + menu panel. + + + + + + Type evolution at the command line. + + + + + + + + Command Line Options + + Evolution has a number of command-line options that you may + wish to make use of. You can find the full list by running + the commands man evolution or + evolution --help. The most + important ones are: + + + + To start Evolution in offline mode: evolution --offline + + + + + + To start Evolution and begin composing a message to the email address you name: evolution mailto:joe@somewhere.net + + + + + + To make your web browser use Evolution as the default email client, enter evolution "%s" as the email handler in your web browser or in the GNOME Control Center. + + + + + + + + The first time you run the program, it will create a directory + called evolution in your home directory, + where it will store all of its local data. Then, it will open a + first-run assistant to help you set up mail accounts and import + data from other applications. + + + Using the first-run assistant will take approximately two to + five minutes. + + + + Defining Your Identity + + The Identity window is the first step in the assistant.

Ask your system administrator if + you're not sure which of the following are available to + you: + + + + + POP: Downloads your email to your hard disk for + permanent storage. + + + + + Microsoft Exchange: Available only if you have + purchased the Ximian Connector for Microsoft + Exchange, this will allow you to connect to a + Microsoft Exchange 2000 server, which stores + email, calendar, and contact information on the + server. + + + + + + + IMAP: Keeps the email on your server so you can + access your email from multiple systems. + + + + + + Standard Unix mbox spools: If you want + to read and store mail in the mail spool on your + local system, choose this option. You'll need to + provide the path to the mail spool + you want to use. + + + + + + Maildir format mail directories: If you download + your mail using qmail or another maildir-style + program, you'll want to use this option. You'll need + to provide the path to the mail directory you want to + use. + + + + + MH format mail directories: If you download your + mail using mh or another MH-style program, you'll + want to use this option. You'll need to provide + the path to the mail directory you want to use. + + + + + + Local Delivery: Choose this option if you want to + move mail from the spool and store it in your home + directory. If you would rather leave mail in your + system's spool files, choose the + Standard Unix mbox + spools option instead. You'll need + to provide the path to the mail spool you want to + use. + + + + + + Directory Tree of mbox files: If you wish to use a + directory tree full of mbox files, select this + option and enter the directory you wish to + use. This option is useful if you wish to use pine + or other email clients at the same time as + Evolution, while storing mail on your local system + in mbox format. + + + + + + None: Select this if you do not plan to + check mail with this account. + + + + + + + + + + If you selected POP, Microsoft Exchange, or IMAP as your mail + server, you'll need to enter some more information: + + + + The host name of your mail server. Ask + your system administrator if you're not + sure. + + + + The username for the account on that + system. + + + + Whether you want to use a secure (SSL) + connection. If your server supports it, it's + best to enable this security option. + + + + + The authentication options supported by + your server. If you're not sure, click the + Check for supported types + button or ask your system administrator. + + + + + Whether you'd like Evolution to remember + your password. + + + + + + + Ximian Evolution Talk to Microsoft Exchange? + + If you have purchased Ximian Connector for Microsoft + Exchange, you can access Microsoft Exchange 2000 servers + natively. If you do not have the Connector, or if you use + an older version of Microsoft Exchange, talk to your system + administrator about access to standard protocol services + like POP and IMAP. + + + + + + More Mail Configuration Options + + There are more extensive options for mail preferences, + especially if you've chosen POP, Microsoft Exchange, or IMAP + as incoming mail server type. If you want to set these + options after you've created the account, you can select + Tools Configure + , click the Mail + Accounts button. Then, select the account you want + to change and click Edit. See for details. + + + + If you chose POP mail: + + + + Checking for new mail: If you would like + Evolution to check for new mail + automatically, check the box and select a frequency in + minutes. + + + + + + Message Storage: If you'd like to store copies of your + mail on the server, check this option. + + + + + + + + If you chose Microsoft Exchange: + + + Checking for new mail: If you would like + Evolution to check for new mail + automatically, check the box and select a frequency in + minutes. + + + + + Mailbox Name is Different from Login Name: If your active directory user name + is different from your Exchange mailbox name, check this + box and enter your mailbox name here. + + + + + Override Outlook Web Access Path: In most cases, + the URL for web access is + "http://server.company.com/exchange." If your + system has a path that is not "exchange," check + the box and enter the custom path here. + + + + Create a Global Address List folder: If you want to + use your organization's Active Directory or Global Address + List, leave this box checked. + + + + Active Directory Server Name: Enter the Active Directory + server name here. + + + + + Limit number of Responses: Select a maximum number + of results for an address search.

Typical values are "mail" and "Mail." For more + information about how to use IMAP mail, see . + + + + Apply filters to new messages in INBOX on this + server: If you'd like your filters to work on this account + as well as on locally downloaded mail, check this box. + + + + + + + + + What's an IMAP Namespace? + + For IMAP mail servers, your sysadmin may provide + you with a specific namespace, the directory on + where your server stores mail for you. If you + check your IMAP mail and your folder list includes + files that don't look like mail folders, you + probably need to change your mail + namespace. Typical values are "mail" and "Mail." + If you prefer, you can choose to subscribe to + individual mail folders one at a time. For more + information about how to use IMAP mail, see . + + + + + + + Sending Email + + The Sending Email step lets you configure sending + email. + + + + Server Type: There are numerous server types that + Ximian Evolution supports for sending your + mail. + + + + SMTP: Sends mail directly from your system. + + + + + + Microsoft Exchange: Sends mail through a Microsoft + Exchange server using the Microsoft Exchange 2000 + protocol. Available only if you have are using the + Ximian Connector for Microsoft Exchange. You must + have a valid license key purchased from store.ximian.com. + + + + + + Sendmail: Uses the Sendmail program to send mail + from your system. Sendmail is more flexible, but + is not as easy to configure, so you should only + select this option if you know how to set up a + Sendmail service. + + + + + + + + Host: If you chose SMTP or + Microsoft Exchange, enter the + server's name or IP address here. + + + + + Server requires authentication: If your server + requires you to enter a password to send mail, check + this box. + + + + + Authentication Type: Unless you've been told otherwise, + your best bet is to leave this set at + Password. If you're not sure, ask + your system administrator or ISP, or have + Ximian Evolution check for + you by clicking Check for supported + types. + + + + + Username: The account name you use when you login to + check your email. Normally, this is the part of your + email address before the '@' character. For Exchange + servers, it is the username you would use to log in to a + Windows workstation at your company. + + + + + Remember Password: If you prefer to not enter + your password every time you check email, press this + button. + + + + + + + + Importing Mail (Optional) + + If Ximian Evolution finds mail or + address files from another application, it will offer to + import them. If you're not sure which file format your mail + program uses, ask your system administrator. If you want, you + can skip this step and return to it at a later time by + selecting + FileImport. + + + Ximian Evolution can import the following types of + files: + + + VCard (.vcf, gcrd): + + + The addressbook 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. + + + + + + Microsoft Outlook Express 4 (.mbx): + + + Email file format used by Microsoft Outlook Express +4. For other versions of Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express, see +the workaround described in the note below. + + + + + + MBox (mbox): + + + The email box format used by Mozilla, Netscape, + Ximian Evolution, Eudora, and many other email clients. + + + + + + + + Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express Users + + Microsoft Outlook, and versions of Outlook Express after + version 4, use proprietary formats that Ximian + Evolution cannot read or import. For contacts, + you may have to email them to yourself and import them that + way. For email, there is a simpler workaround: + + + + + While using Windows, import the files into Mozilla Mail (or + another mailer, such as Netscape or Eudora, that uses the + standard mbox format). + + + + + + Copy the files to the system or partition you use for + Ximian Evolution. + + + + + + Use the Ximian Evolution import + tool to import the files. There's more information about + why this works, and how, at the Ximian support website. + + + + + + + + Netscape Users + + Before importing mail from Netscape, make sure you select + FileCompact All + Folders. If you don't, + Ximian Evolution will import and undelete + the messages in your Trash folders. + + + + + + + Exporting Files From Ximian Evolution + + Ximian Evolution uses standard file types for all its information, + so you should have no trouble taking your information + elsewhere if you want. + + + For mail, that's mbox, for calendar, + iCal, and for the address book, vCards + in a .db3 database. + + + + + + + Importing Mail from Other Mail Clients + + Chances are, you already have your email in another mail program + and don't want to lose the information. The following section + describes how to import mail from specific mail clients. + + + Importing Mail from mutt + + mutt is a text-based mail client + which is shipped with many Linux and Unix distributions. + mutt uses the standard mbox, + maildir, and MH file formats, which makes importing your mail + into Evolution easy.

By default, your email + is stored in ~/mbox for the mbox + format and ~/Maildir for the Maildir format. + + + + + When prompted for what folder in + Evolution to import to, + select a folder. You can also create a new folder and + drop it in there. + + + + + + + Importing Mail from KMail + + KMail is the mail client which is shipped with the KDE desktop + environment.

Here's a quick + explanation of what's going on in your main + Ximian Evolution window. + + +
+ The Ximian Evolution Main Window + + Inbox + + + + + + +
+ + + + + + Menubar + + + + The Menubar gives you access to nearly all the + features that can be found in Ximian Evolution. + + + + + Toolbar + + + + The Toolbar gives you fast and easy access to the + most used features in each component. + + + + + Shortcut Bar + + + + The Shortcut Bar lets you go to your favorite + components with the click of a click of a button. + + + + + Status Bar + + + + Periodically, Ximian Evolution will need to quietly + display a message, or tell you the progress of a task.

It displays all your + appointments, address cards, and email in a tree that's a lot + like a file + tree-- it starts small at the top, and branches + downwards. On most computers, there will be three or four + folders at the base. First, of course, is the + Summary, a customizable summary of your + information. Below that are your Local + Folders, which hold all the + Ximian Evolution data that's stored on your + computer. After that are your network servers: LDAP servers that host shared contact + directories, and IMAP mail + folders to which you subscribe. Lastly, there are + vFolders, or virtual folders, discussed in + , + + + + A typical Local folder contains the following folders: + + + + Calendar, for appointments and + event listings. + + + + + Contacts, for address cards. + + + + + Drafts, for messages you started and didn't finish. + + + + + Inbox, for incoming mail. + + + + + + Outbox, for messages you have written + but not yet sent. This will be empty unless you use + Ximian Evolution while offline. + + + + + + Sent, for sent mail. + + + + + + Trash, a vFolder view of all the + messages you have marked for deletion but not yet + expunged. + + + + + + + Navigating without the Folder Bar or the Shortcut Bar + + You don't need the folder bar or the shortcut bar to move + around the main window. You can use the Tab + key to switch from one part of the window to another. When + you hide the folder bar, there is a menu on the left side of + the window just below the toolbar to move about the folder + tree, even with the folder and shortcut bars hidden. + + + + + If you get large volumes of mail, you'll want more folders than + just your Inbox. To create a new folder: + + + + Select + File + New + Folder + + Shift + Ctrl + E + . + + + + + Select the name of the folder in the Folder + Name field. + + + + + Select the folder type. The available options are. + + + + Calendar + + + + + Contacts + + + + + Mail + + + + + Tasks + + + + + + + + + Choose the location of the new folder. + + + + + + + Subfolders + + Ximian Evolution lets you nest folders + inside of each other, so that you can have a detailed + organizational system. + + + + Folders Have Limits + + Calendars must go in calendar folders, mail in mail + folders, and contacts in contact folders. + + + + + Right-clicking will bring up a menu for just about anything in + Ximian Evolution. If you right-click on a + folder, you'll have a menu with the following options: + + View, to view the folder. + Open in New Window to view the folder in another window. + Move, to move the folder to another location. + Copy, to duplicate the folder. + Delete, to delete the folder and all its contents. + Rename, to change its name. + Create New Folder, to create another folder in the same location. + Add to Shortcut Bar, to add the folder to your shortcut bar. + Properties, to view or change the folder properties. + + + + You can also rearrange folders and messages by dragging and + dropping them. + + + + Any time new mail arrives in a mail folder, that folder + label is displayed in bold text, along with the number of + new messages in that folder. + + + + + + The Menu Bar + + The menu bar's contents will always + provide all the possible actions for any given view of your + data. If you're looking at your Inbox, most of the menu items + will relate to mail; some will relate to other components of + Ximian Evolution and some, especially those + in the File Menu will relate to the + application as a whole. + + + + + File: + + Anything related to a file or to the + operations of the application generally falls under this + menu: creating things, saving them to disk, printing them, + and quitting the program itself. + + + + Edit: + + The Edit menu holds + useful tools that help you edit text and move it around. + + + + + View: + + This menu lets you decide how Ximian Evolution + should look. Some of the features control the appearance of + Ximian Evolution as a whole, and others + the way a particular kind of information appears. + + + + + Actions: + + Holds actions which maybe applied to a message. Normally, + if there is only one target for the action -- for + example, replying to a message -- you can find it in + the Actions menu. + + + + + Tools: + + Tools for configuring, changing, and + setting up go here. For mail, that means things like + and the + Virtual Folder Editor. For the + Calendar and the Contact + Manager, it's color, network, and layout + configuration. + + + + + Help: + + Select among these items to open the + Help Browser + and read the Ximian Evolution manual. + + + + + + + Once you've familiarized yourself with the main + window you can start doing things with it. We'll + start with the Summary, which provides a + quick overview of your Ximian + Evolution information. + + + + Introducing the Summary + + The Ximian Evolution Summary provides you with a quick + run-down of important information: your appointments for a + given day, how much new mail you have, headlines from + selected news services, and so forth. To see the Summary, + click on the Summary button in the + shortcut bar, or select the Summary + folder in the folder bar. + + + +
+ The Evolution Summary + + + + +
+ + + + Weather Summary + + +Shows you the latest weather updates from hundreds of cities around the world. + + + News Feeds + + +Displays up to the minute news from your favorite websites. + + + Mail Summary + + +Shows you how many email messages you have in your selected folders, waiting to be read. + + + Calendar Summary + + +Shows you your calendar. + + + Tasks + + +Shows your pending tasks + + + + + To add additional services to your Summary, or to edit the + existing services, select + + Tools + Configure and click + the Summary Settings button. + + + + + + Introducing Email + + Ximian Evolution email is like other + email programs in several ways: + + + + It can sort and organize your mail in a wide variety of + ways with folders, searches, and filters. + + + + + It can send and receive mail in HTML or as plain text, + and makes it easy to send and receive multiple file + attachments. + + + + + It supports multiple mail sources, including IMAP, POP3, and local + mbox or mh + spools and files created by other mail programs. + + + + + It lets you guard your privacy with encryption. + + + + + + However, Ximian Evolution has some + important differences. First, it's built to handle very large + amounts of mail. Both the filtering and + searching + functions were built for speed and efficiency on large volumes + of mail. There's also the Ximian Evolution + vFolder, + an advanced organizational feature not found in mainstream + mail clients. If you get a lot of mail, or if you keep every + message you get in case you need to refer to it later, you'll + find this feature especially useful. + + + Here's what the mailer looks like: + + + +
+ Ximian Evolution Mail + + Inbox + + + +
+ + + + Email + Viewer + + + + This is where your email is displayed. + + + + Message List + + + + The Message List displays all the emails + that you have. This includes all your read, unread, and email + that is flagged to be deleted. + + + + If you find the view pane too small, you can resize + the pane, enlarge the whole window, or double-click on the + message in the message list to have it + open in a new window. To change the sizes of a pane, just click + and hold on the divider between the two panes. Then you can drag + up and down to select the size of the panes. + + + Just like with folders, you can right-click on messages in the + message list and get a menu of possible actions: you can move, + delete, or undelete them, and create filters or vFolders based + on them. + + + Most of the mail-related actions you'll want to perform are + listed in the Message menu in the menu bar. + The most frequently used ones, like + Reply and + Forward, also appear as buttons in + the toolbar. Almost all of them are also located in the + right-click menu and as keyboard shortcuts, which tend to be + faster once you get the hang of them. You can choose + whichever way you like best; the idea is that the software + should work the way you want, rather than making you work the + way the it does. + + + + For an in-depth guide to the email capabilities of Ximian + Evolution, read . + + + + Introducing the Calendar + + To begin using the calendar, select + Calendar from the shortcut + bar. By default, the calendar starts showing + today's schedule on a ruled background. At the upper right, + there's a monthly calendar you can use to switch days. Below + that, there's a Task pad, where you can + keep a list of tasks separate from your calendar appointments. + The day view in the calendar looks like this: + + +
+ Ximian Evolution Calendar View + + Ximian Evolution Contact Manager Window + + + +
+ + + + + + Appointment + List + + + + The Appointment List is responsible for showing you all of + your scheduled appointments, whether they are all day appointments or simply one time + appointments that last a half an hour. + + + + + Task List + + + + The Task List compliments the + Appointment List as it keeps track of + tasks which don't have a time associated with them. Tasks can + have complex notes associated with them, and you can also note + their completeness on a percentage scale. + + + + + Calendar Window + + + + The Calendar Window has a graphical representation of + the calendar, so you can select what days to view in the Appointment + List. + + + + For more information about the calendar + read . + + + + + Introducing the Address Book + + The Ximian Evolution address book + can handle all of the functions of an address book, phone + book, or Rolodex. Of course, it's a lot easier to update + Ximian Evolution than it is to + change an actual paper book. Ximian + Evolution also allows easy synchronization with + hand-held devices and functions with LDAP directories on a network. + + + Another advantage of the Ximian Evolution + address book is its integration with the rest of the + application. For example, you can create an address card from + an email just by right-clicking on the sender's email address. + + + To open your address book, click on + Contacts in the shortcut bar, or select + one of your contacts folders from the folder bar. shows the address book in all its + organizational glory. By default, the address book shows all + your cards in alphabetical order, in a minicard view. You can select + other views from the View menu, and adjust + the width of the columns by clicking and dragging the gray + column dividers. + + + The address book looks like this: + +
