- Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license - document, but changing it is not allowed. - - - - - 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 - distribute 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. - - - - - \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/help/C/apx-gloss.sgml b/help/C/apx-gloss.sgml deleted file mode 100644 index 4ecc33d03b..0000000000 --- a/help/C/apx-gloss.sgml +++ /dev/null @@ -1,253 +0,0 @@ - - - - - Glossary - - - Attachment - - - Any file sent with an e-mail for the reciever to download. - - - - - - Automatic Indexing - - - Pre-sorting procedure that allows - Evolution to refer to data quickly. - It enables faster searches and decreases memory usage for - data displays. - - - - - - Bcc (Blind Carbon Copy) - - - A way of addressing a message.

- What is Evolution, and What Can It Do for Me? - - The idea of evolution as a process of improvement and - development is a strong influence on the developers at Helix - Code. We named our groupware suite - "Evolution" because we knew that it would be able to survive - in the wilderness of the software marketplace for one reason: - it's better. - - - Evolution is a suite of groupware - applications within the GNOME desktop environment that you can - use to send, receive, and organize email, manage address and - other contact information, and maintain a calendar. It - enables you to do those things on one or several computers, - connected directly or over a network, for one person or for - large groups. Evolution can handle - almost all your communications tasks with the power and - flexibility of the GNOME desktop environment. - - - We built Evolution with three groups of - people in mind: everyday users, system administrators, and - developers. - - - - - For everyday users, we made - Evolution easy to use without - sacrificing power. We made the interface familiar and - intuitive, but also allowed users to customize it to - their liking. We made the setup and configuration as - easy as possible. For any confusion, we wrote a - comprehensive manual and help system. - - - - - For administrators, we made sure - Evolution met and and - exceeded the standards set by currently available - groupware products, and we developed support for most - major network protocols so that it can integrate - seamlessly with existing hardware and network - environments. All of our efforts have made - Evolution both easy to use - and easy to support. - - - - - For developers, we built in - support for open standards and protocols to turn - Evolution into an advanced - development platform. From the simplest scripting to - the most complex network and component programming, - Evolution offers developers - the ideal environment for cutting-edge application - development. - - - - - For all three groups, we did our best to ensure the - safety of data. - - - - - - In action, Evolution makes most - daily tasks faster, because we built it to work with you - instead of against you. For example, it takes only one or two - clicks to enter an appointment or an address card sent to you - by email, or to send email to a contact or appointment. - Evolution makes displays faster and - more efficient, so searches are faster and memory usage is - lower. People who get lots of mail will appreciate - advanced features like vFolders, which - let you save searches as though they were ordinary mail - folders. - - -

You can view it as a table or as a list of - cards— switch between them in the View - menu — and move through them alphabetically alphanumeric - buttons and the scrollbar at the right of the window. - - - - Create, Change, and Delete Cards - - - The easiest thing you can do with a card is delete it. To - delete a card, click on it once to select it, then press the - Delete Card button. - - - - Any time you add new information to a card, whether it's an old - card you're editing or a new card you're just adding to your - address book, you'll use the contact editor. To change a card - that already exists, just double click it to open the contact - editor window with all the current information already filled - in. If you want to create a new one, clicking the - New Card button will open up that same - window, but with empty fields instead of full ones. Either - way, it's the same tool for quite similar tasks, and you'll - find that it's pretty flexible and can store quite a lot more - than you'd think would fit onto a file card. - - - - The Contact Editor - - The contact editor window has two tabs, - General, for basic contact information, - and Details, for a more specific - description of the person. In addition, it contains a full - menu bar. FIXME: The contents are still changing rapidly, - but you should be able to guess what they're for. - - -
- Evolution Contact Editor - - Evolution Contact Editor - - - -
- - - The General tab contains no less - than seven sections, each with an icon: a face, for name and - company; a telephone for phone numbers; an envelope for email - address; a house for postal address; a handshake for contacts - (FIXME: I don't understand this feature, and the button - doesn't do anything yet.); and a briefcase for categories. - You can guess what sort of information belongs in fields like - Job Title and Web page - address, but there are several parts of the window - that are a little more interesting. - Categories feature, which is discussed in - , there are a few - things you'll want to know about: the first of these is the - Full Name button. - - - You can enter a name into the Full Name - field, or you can click the button to bring up a small dialog - box with a few text boxes: - - - Title:Enter an honorific or select one from the menu. - - - First:The person's first, or given, name. - - - - Middle:The middle name or initial, if any, goes here. - - - - Last:The last name (surname, family name), belongs here. - - - - Suffix:Suffixes such as "Jr." or "III" can go here. - - - - - - The Full Name field has one more trick - up its sleeve: it 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: Eva Lucianne - Tester. You'll notice that the - File As field also fills up, but in - reverse: Tester, - Lucianne. You can pick - Eva Tester from the - drop-down, or type in your own, such as - Lucianne Tester, Eva. I suggest that - you don't enter something entirely different from the - actual name, since you might forget that you've filed - Eva's information under "F" for "Fictitious Helix Code - Employees" - - - The other feature I want to mention involves the little - squares next to several of the fields. Click on them and - you'll get a menu of different labels; for the fields in the - telephone section, it's a long list involving things like - Home, Home 2, - Other Fax, and - Pager. Select from among them to - determine which four telephone numbers to display at any given - time. Of course, these connected times mean that people often - have more than four telephone numbers. You can display only - four in the editor, but Evolution - can remember them all for you. When you click the little - square button for the list of labels, any that you've already - filled in will be marked. - - - - - - - - - - Organizing your Contact Manager - - Organizing your contact manager is a lot like organizing your - mail. You can have folders and searches the same way you can - with mail, but the contact manager does not allow vFolders. It - does, however, allow each card to fall under several - categories, and allow you to create your own categories. We'll - go over categories in a bit. - - - Another useful UNIMPLEMENTED - Evolution feature is its ability to - recognize when people live or work together. If several people - in your contact manager share an address, and you change the - address for one of them, Evolution - will ask you if you wish to change the address for all of them, - or just for one. - - - - Groups of contacts - - Evolution lets you put cards into - folders and mark them as members of different categories. - Although the contact manager does not support vFolders, - categories should provide as much flexibility as you need in - grouping your address cards. - - - - Grouping with Folders - - The simplest way to group address cards is to use folders. - By default, cards start in the - Contacts folder. You can create more - folders inside that one, or create other address book - folders as well. Each card must be in one and only one - folder. If you've read - then you already know that you can create a new folder by - selecting New and then - Folder from the - File menu. - - - To put a card into a folder, just drag it there from the - folder view, or (SOMETHING ELSE). Remember that address - 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. The difference between folders - and categories is that folders contain cards, but category - membership is a property of each card. 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. A dialog box will pop up with check-boxes for - different categories in it. You can select as many or as - few categories as you like. - - - Then, you can refer to all the cards in that category by: - - - If the master list of categories don't suit you, you can - add your own. Just enter the new category's name in the - text box, then click Categoriese and - choose Add to Master List in the - window that appears. (FIXME: This isn't quite accurate.) - - - - - - - Sharing your Cards (and keeping them to yourself) - - Cards can be shared over a network. This is the sort of - feature you'll want to use if your company has a list of - vendors and clients that needs constant updating. If you - also share your calendars, people can avoid duplicating - work and keep up to date on developments within their - workgroup or across the entire company. - - - - Sharing Address Cards and Calendar Data - - Ray wants to schedule a meeting with Company X, so he - checks the network for the Company X address card so he - knows whom to call there. Since his company also shares - calendars, he then learns that his co-worker Deanna has - already scheduled a meeting with Company X next Thursday. - He can either go to the meeting himself or ask Deanna to - discuss his concerns for him. Either way, he avoids - scheduling an extra meeting with Company X. - - - - Of course, you don't want to share all of your cards— why - overload the network with a list of babysitters, or tell - everyone on your network you're talking to new job prospects? - Evolution lets you decide which - folders you want to make accessible to others. - - - To begin sharing a folder of address cards, wait until - Evolution supports this - feature. (FIXME!) - - - - - Automating the Contact Manager - - In addition to working with the mailer and the calendar to add - new cards quickly, the contact manager can do some pretty cool - stuff on its own. (FIXME: This para is terrible) - - - - 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. Of course, - Evolution also adds cards from a - hand-held device during HotSync operation. For more - information about that, see . - - - - - Managing a Mailing list - - You already know that when you are writing an email, you can - address it to one or more people, and that - Evolution will fill in addresses - from your contact manager's address cards if you let it. In - addition to that, you can send email to everyone in a - particular group by (FIXME: wait for feature implementation, - then document). Future versions of - Evolution will allow you to you - export a group of cards to a spreadsheet, database, or word - processor so you can print address labels or prepare large - postal mailings. - - - - Map It! and other extra features - - Need a map or directions? Click - MapIt from within the contact - manager, and Evolution will - map the address for you online. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - diff --git a/help/C/usage-mail.sgml b/help/C/usage-mail.sgml deleted file mode 100644 index 656fdb9a44..0000000000 --- a/help/C/usage-mail.sgml +++ /dev/null @@ -1,958 +0,0 @@ - - - - Evolution Mail - - An Overview of the Evolution Mailer - - Evolution email is like other email - programs in all the ways you would hope: - - - - It can sort and organize your mail in a wide variety of ways with - folders, searches, and filters. - - - - - It can send and recieve mail in HTML or as plain text, and - supports file attachments. - - - - - It supports multiple mail sources, including IMAP, POP3, - and local mbox files. - - - - - - However, Evolution has some important - differences.

If this is the first time - you've done so, the mail setup - assistant will ask you for the information it - needs to check your mail (see for more information). Then, - Evolution will download your mail. - New mail will appear in your Inbox. - - - - - If you get an error message instead of mail, you probably - need to change your network settings. To learn how to - do that, have a look at , or ask your system - administrator. - - - - Attachments, HTML Mail, and Live Documents - - If you receive a file attached to an email, - Evolution will display it at the - bottom of the message to which it's attached. Text, HTML, - and most images will be displayed in the message itself. - For other files, Evolution will - provide a link and icon at the end of the message. Click on - that, and Evolution will ask you - where you want to put the file. Once you've chosen one and - saved the file, you can open, move, copy, or execute it just - like any other, using Nautilus or - your favorite shell or file manager. - - - - Evolution can also display - HTML-formatted mail, complete with graphics. HTML - formatting will display automatically, although you can - turn it off if you prefer. - - - - - - - - - Writing and Sending Mail - - You can start writing a new email message by selecting - New Mail from the File - Menu, or by pressing the - Send in the Inbox toolbar.

- - - - - Enter an address in the To: field, a - subject in the Subject: and a message in - the big empty box at the bottom of the window, and press - Send. That's easy. It may even be - too easy, which is why I like to queue my messages up to be - sent a few minutes later. - - - Send Now, Send Later - - Evolution will send mail immediately unless you tell it to - do otherwise by selecting Send - Later from the MENU in - the message composition window. Then, when you press - Send, all your unsent messages will - go out at once. I like to use "Send Later" because it - gives me a chance to change my mind about a message before - it goes out. That way, I don't send anything I'll regret - the next day. - - - To learn more about how you can specify message queue - and filter behavior, see . - - - - - - You can probably guess the purpose of the buttons labelled - Cut, Copy, - Paste and Undo, but - there's a bit more to sending mail that's less obvious. In - the next few sections, you'll see how - Evolution handles additional - features, including mailing lists, attachments, and - forwarding. - - - - - Choosing Recipients - - If you have created address cards in the contact manager, - you can also enter nicknames or other portions of address - data, and Evolution will complete - the address for you. 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. - For more information about using email - together with the contact manager and the calendar, see - and . - - - - Multiple Recipients - - In addition, you can mark recipients in three different - ways. The To: field is for the - primary recipients of the message you are going to send. - However, it is considered bad form to have more than a few - email addresses in this section. - - - If you're writing to one person, but want to keep a third - party up to date, you can use Cc:. - Hearkening back to the dark ages when people used - typewriters and there were no copy machines, "Cc" stands - for "Carbon Copy."

The client can see that Tim also - recieved the message, and know that they can talk to - Tim about the message as well. - - - - - If you have a large number of recipients, or if you want - to send mail to several people without sharing the - recipient list, you should use - Bcc:. "Bcc" stands for "Blind Carbon - Copy", and means that people you put in the - Bcc: field get the message, but - nobody else sees their email address. They will still see - the list of addresses from the To: - and Cc: fields. - - - Using the Bcc: field - - Tim is sending out a message to all of his company's - clients, some of whom are in competition with each - other, and all of whom value their privacy. If he - puts every address from his address book's "Clients" - category into the To: or - Cc: fields, he'll have made the - entire client list public. - Don't assume it won't happen to you; I got careless - one day and did it myself. - - - - - - - - Replying to Messages - - In order to reply to a message, click on it once in the - message list to select it. Then press the - Reply button.

In addition, the full - text of the previous message is inserted into the new - message, either in italics (for HTML display) or with the - > character (in plain text mode) before each line. This - indicates quoting. You can intersperse your message with - the quoted material as shown in - - - -
- Reply Message Window - - Evolution Main Window - - - -
- - - - - If a message has several recipients, as in the case of - mailing lists or messages that have been carbon copied, you - may wish to click 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. But be careful, and always make sure you - know who is getting a message: it could be a mailing list - with thousands of subscribers. - - Using the Reply-To 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 to all of - them, he uses Reply to All, but - if he just wants to tell Susan that he agrees with her, - he uses Reply. - - - - - - - Embellish your email with HTML - - You can't normally use text treatments or pictures in - emails, which is why you've probably seen people use - asterisks for emphasis or use - emoticons to convey their - feelings. However, most of the newer email programs can - include and display images and text treatments as well as - basic alignment and paragraph formatting. - - - 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. Some - people refer to HTML mail as "the root of all evil" and - get very angry if you send them HTML mail, which is why - Evolution sends plain text - unless you explicitly ask for HTML. To send HTML mail, - you will need to select Send Messages as - HTML in the mail settings dialog box. See - for more information. - - - If you format a message with HTML, but do not have - Send Messages as HTML enabled in your - mail settings, the composer will remove your text styles. - It will, however, preserve indentation and lists. It will - do the same thing for any individuals in your address book - whom you have marked as preferring not to receive HTML. - - - - HTML formatting tools are located just above the - composition frame, and in the Insert and - Format menus. Your message text will - appear formatted in the composer window, and the message - will be sent as HTML. - - - 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: Choose - Normal for your default text - style, or Header 1 through - Header 6 for varying sizes of - header. You can also select - pre for preformatted text - blocks, and three types of List - Item. - - - - - - Text style: B is for bold text, - I for italics, - U for an underline, and - 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 left-justified, - the center button, centered, and the right hand - button, right-justified. - - - - - - Indentation rules: The button with the arrow - pointing left will reduce a paragraph's indentation, - and the right arrow will increase its indentation. - - - - - - There are two tools that you can find only in the - Insert menu. - - - - Insert Link: Use this tool to - put hyperlinks in your HTML messages. When you - select it, Evolution will - prompt you for the Text that - will appear, and the Link, where - you should enter the actual web address (URL). - - - - - Insert Image: Select this item to - embed image into your email, as was done in the welcome - message. Images will appear at the location of the - cursor. - - - - - - A Technical note on HTML Tags - - The composer is a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) - editor for HTML. That means that if you enter HTML - directly into the composer— say, <B>Bold Text</B>, the - the composer will assume you meant exactly that string - of characters, and not "make this text bold," as an HTML - composition tool or text editor would. - - - - - Attachments - - If you want to attach a file to your email message, just - click the button with a paper clip on it, labelled - Attach. - Evolution will then ask you to - select the file. Do so, and then send the message. Be - aware that big attachments can take a long time to - download. - - - - - - - - Forwarding Mail - - The post office forwards your mail for you when you change - addresses, and you can forward mail when you get a letter by - mistake. The email Forward command - 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 way of forwarding) 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, first make sure it is selected by - clicking it once in the message list. Then, press - Forward on the toolbar, or select - SOMETHING. To forward a message - inline instead of attached, select - Forward Inline from the - Message 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 Usage - - I started with ten, but four were "Don't send - spam." - - - - - 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 email - quotation symbols (>) indicating multiple layers - of careless inline 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! - - - - - - ALL CAPS MEANS YOU'RE SHOUTING! - - - - - - Never write anything in email you wouldn't say in - public. Old messages have a nasty habit of - resurfacing when you least expect them to. - - - - - - Check your spelling and use complete sentences. - - - - - - 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. - - - - - Happy mailing! - - - - - - Organizing Your Mail - - Even if you only get a few email messages a day, you probably - want to sort and organize them. When you get a hundred a day - and you want to refer to a message you received six weeks ago, - you need to sort and organize them. - Fortunately, Evolution has the tools - to help you do it. - - - - Getting Organized with Folders - - Evolution keeps mail, as well as - address cards and calendars, in folders. You start out with a - few, like 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. - 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. - - Folders have Limits - - A folder can hold mail, calendars, or address cards, but - you can't mix them up. Also, an email message can be in - only one folder at a time, just like real mail in real - folders. If you need more flexibility, try vFolders. - - - - - 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. If you - create a filter with the filter - assistant, you can have mail moved to your folder - automatically. - - - - - Searching for Messages - - Most mail clients can search through your messages for you, - but 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. - - - - - Then, press Enter. - Evolution will show your search - results in the message list. - - - - - - Staying organized: Mail Filters in Evolution - - Filters sort your email for you. People who subscribe to - multiple mailing lists, or who often need to refer to messages - they have sent, find filters especially helpful to seperate - personal from list-related mail, but they're good for anybody - who gets more than a few messages a day. To create a filter, - go to your Inbox. Then select - Filter Assistant from the - Tools menu. This will bring up a window - which will guide you through filter creation. The - filter assistant is shown in - - -
- Creating a new Filter - - Creating a new Filter - - - -
- - - - The filter assistant window - contains a window listing rules, and an option to create a - new rule. To start filtering your mail, click - Add to add a filtering rule. - You'll decide when it should take place: - - - - When mail arrives: Select - this option to have messages filtered as they - arrive. - - - - - When mail is sent: Select - this option to filter your outgoing mail. You - can use this feature to keep your - Outbox as organized as - your Inbox. - - - - - - - Then, the filter assistant will ask you which emails it should - act upon. You can set criteria based on message size, the - sender, primary addressee or cc: list, or words in the subject - or body of the message. Once you've decided which messages to - filter, the assistant will ask you the sort of action you wish - to take. You can file, delete, or forward the message, and you - can also have it be exempted from other filters which would - otherwise have acted upon it. - - - - - Two Notable Filter Features - - - Any incoming email that does not meet - filter action criteria remains in the Inbox. - - - If you move a folder, your filters - will follow it. - - - - - - - - - Getting Really Organized with Virtual Folders - - If you find that filters aren't flexible enough for you, or - end up performing the same search again and again, consider a - virtual folder. Virtual folders, or vFolders, are an advanced - way of viewing your email messages within - Evolution. If you get a lot of - mail or often forget where you put messages, 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. Once you've set it up, you'll be - able to open it and read the messages in it as though it were - a normal mail folder. It's not a folder, though, because when - you open a vFolder, Evolution - performs a search for you. It's not a regular search, though, - because you can build a vFolder with a very complicated set of - criteria with multiple inclusions and exclusions, as though - you were setting up a filter. - - - - - - As messages that meet the vFolder criteria arrive or are - deleted, Evolution will - automatically place them in and and remove them from the - vFolder contents list. When you delete a message, it gets - erased from the folder in which it actually exists, as well as - any vFolders which include it. - - - That's pretty complicated, but it can be useful. For example, - if I have a folder for all the email from one person, and - another folder for all the email on a given topic, I - feel organized. But when the person - sends me mail about the topic, my whole email filing universe - becomes chaotic, and I need vFolders to save the day for me. - - - That sounds silly, but imagine a business trying to keep track - of mail from hundreds of vendors and clients, or a university - with overlapping and changing groups of faculty, staff, - administrators and students. The larger the system, the less - you can afford the sort of confusion that stems from an - organizational system that's not flexible enough. vFolders - make for better organization because they can accept - overlapping groups in a way that regular folders and filing - systems can't. - - - - Using Folders, Searches, and vFolders - - To organize my mail box, I can set up a vFolder - for emails from my friend Vince, by doing (INSERT - PROCESS HERE). Then, whenever I want to see the - messages Vince has sent me, I open the vFolder, and - every message he's sent me shows up, no matter where - I've actually filed it. If I want, I can also create a - vFolder containing any message from my list of - co-workers which also has the name of the project in - it. That way, when Vince sends me mail about the - project, I can see that message both in the "Vince" - vFolder and in the "Project" vFolder. That's because - when I open up the "Vince" folder, I'm really - performing a search for all the mail from Vince, and - when I open the "Project" folder I'm really performing - a search for all the mail about the project. - - (INSERT SCREENSHOT HERE) - - - - - To create a vFolder, select VFolder - Assistant from the Tools - menu in the main window. This - will bring up a dialog box that looks suspiciously like - the Filter Assistant (for more information on filters, see - ), and which - presents you with a list of vFolders you have previously - created. If you have already created vFolders, you can - click on them in the frame labelled Select Rule - Type, and edit or remove them. If you have - not created any, there will be only one available option: - click Add to add a new vFolder. - - - You'll be prompted to create a filtering rule. To do so, - select one of the base rules, and click - Next to customize it. Your options are: - - - - For matching messages: you may select one or more - search criteria; the vFolder you create will - contain messages that match all of - them. - - - - - Messages from a certain person: you enter an email - address, and the vFolder will contain any messages - from that address. - - - - - Messages to a certain address: any messages sent - directly to this address will be in the vFolder you create. - - - - - Messages with a given subject: enter a subject, - and the vFolder will contain messages with that - subject. - - - - as is shown in - -

-The Evolution Project specification
-Miguel de Icaza.
-
-
-* Introduction
-
-	Evolution is a project aiming at providing the free software
-	community with a professional, high-quality tool for managing
-	mail, appointments, tasks and other personal information
-	tools.  
-
-	We want to make Evolution a system that addresses our needs
-	(the free software development community) and we believe that
-	by addressing our needs, we will provide a system that will
-	scale in the years to come for other users that are just
-	starting to use computers and the internet.
-
-	The main objectives of Evolution are to provide these powerful
-	features, and to make the user interface as pretty and
-	polished as possible.
-
-	Evolution is a GNOME application and a number of auxiliary
-	CORBA servers that act as the storage backends. 
-
-	Evolution will copy the best user interface bits and the best
-	ideas and features found on contemporary groupware systems.
-
-* Evolution internals.
-
-	Evolution can store its information locally (files for mail,
-	calendar and address book) or on a remote server (imap/pop,
-	cap, ldap).  
-
-	Given the importance of syncing in this modern PDA world,
-	the Evolution GUI acts as a client to the data repository.
-	The data repository is a GUI-less CORBA server called Wombat.
-
-	Wombat provides a unified access system to the calendar and
-	addressbook data (doing mail is a bit hard, so we are leaving
-	this as a TODO item for now).
-
-	Wombat's CORBA interfaces are notifier-based.  This means that
-	CORBA requests sent to Wombat do not return values
-	inmediately, but rather than for Wombat requests the user has
-	to provide a CORBA object that will be notified of what
-	happened.
-
-	Yes, that sounds hairy.  It is actually pretty simple.  It
-	basically means that you submit requests to Wombat, and a
-	callback is invoked in your code when the request has been
-	carried away. 
-
-	This enables a Palm to sync to the repository without having
-	the GUI for Evolution running.  It also means that volunteers
-	will be able to write text-based and web-based versions of
-	Evolution (not me though :-).
-
-* Evolution as a platform
-
-	Evolution is more than a client for managing the above
-	information: Evolution is a platform for building groupware
-	applications that use the above components to get their work done.
-
-	To achieve this Evolution is designed to be scriptable, and it
-	exports its internals trough CORBA/Bonobo.  It is implemented
-	as a collection of Bonobo containers and Bonobo components.
-
-	There is a clean separation between the views (the user
-	interface) and the model (the view).  The views that we are
-	writing are GNOME based, and they talk to the Wombat CORBA
-	server.
-
-	Wombat takes care of notifications to the various clients for
-	the data. 
-
-* The overall organization
-
-	A bar similar to outlook provides shortcuts for accessing the
-	various resources managed by Evolution: mail folders,
-	contacts, tasks, journal entries, notes, messages and other
-	user-defined destinations. 
-
-* User interface widgets
-
-** The ETable package
-
-	This package provides a way of displaying and editing tables.
-
-	Tables are displayed based on a TableColumn definition that
-	defines the layout used for the display.  Table Columns can be
-	nested, and the package does grouping of information displayed
-	according to the criteria defined there.
-
-	This is used in multiple places troughout evolution: it is
-	used for the Mail summary display, for the TODO display and
-	TODO new data entry and for the address book.
-
-	Nesting in the address book can be performed on various
-	fields.  For example, a first level of nesting could be
-	"Company" and a second level would be "Country" the result is
-	a 2-level tree that can be collapsed expanded and contains the
-	information sorted/grouped by those two criteria.
-
-	The user interface for this will be copied from Outlook: the
-	possibility of adding and removing fields with drag and drop
-	as well as grouping using drag and drop.
-
-* The Mail system
-
-** The Mail sources
-
-	The mail system will support 4 sources of mail:
-
-		POP3 (transfer to a local file).
-		IMAP
-		Local mbox format in $MAIL.
-		Local mbox format that have other delivery points.
-
-	On top of that, it will be possible to browse existing mbox
-	archives (and possibly other formats in the future, like
-	Mailbox and Maildir).
-
-** Storing the mail
-
-	Mail that gets incorporated into the system is stored in mbox
-	format, and summary files are provided for quick access to the
-	files.  No modifications to the file on disk is performed (I
-	am not quite sure about this, perhaps we want to add the
-	status flags and some method for adding metadata to the mail).
-
-	Summary files are rebuilt on demand or rebuild if the mbox
-	file and the summary file have got out of sync.
-
-	A Metadata system that will enable us to attach information to
-	a message will have to be designed and implemented (enabling
-	users to add annotations to mails, and special keywords and
-	flags in a per-message fashion).
-
-** Folders
-
-	Michael Zucchi is working on a system that will let users
-	easily define rules for splitting their incoming mail into
-	physical folders.  
-
-	A further refinement to Folders are Virtual Folders.  This
-	basically provides a powerful search and viewing facility for
-	mail.  It works like this: when a mail is "incorporated" into
-	Evolution it is scanned and indexed.
-
-	Then users can enter queries into Evolution that will search
-	the entire database of messages.	
-
-** Virtual folders
-
-	Virtual folders will enable users to read/browse their mail in
-	new ways: by specifying search criterias, these folders will
-	contain messages that match the criteria given.  
-
-	There is more information about this in the libcamel
-	directory. 
-
-	We will index all headers from a message, and possible the
-	contents of messages and keep those on a separate file, to
-	enable users to query their mail database.
-
-** Mail summary display
-
-	The summary will be displayed using the ETable package, to
-	enable users to add a number of sorting criteria and various
-	display methods for the summary view.
-
-	The Outlook methods for displaying will be present on the
-	system.
-
-	Message threading will be supported in Evolution.
-
-** Message display engine
-
-	We are going to be using a combination of
-	libcamel/limime/libjamie to parse messages and render them
-	into an HTML buffer.
-
-* The HTML engine
-
-	The GtkHTML engine will be used to display messages, and will
-	be extended to support a number of features that we require:
-	internal handling of characters will be based on Unicode
-
-* The message composer
-
-	Regular features found in composers will be added: connecting
-	the composer to the address book, support for drag and drop
-	for including attachments, editing the message, archiving
-	drafts and archiving messages sent.
-
-	Ettore has been working on adding editing support to the
-	GtkHTML and he is working currently on a Bonobo component that
-	will provide a ready-to-use Bonobo control for embedding into
-	other applications.

-	The &Evolution; groupware suite provides a framework for
-	developing calendaring applications, as well as a graphical
-	calendar client and a personal calendar server.  This white
-	paper describes the architecture of the &Evolution;
-	calendaring framework.
-      
-    
-  
-
-  
-
-  
-    Introduction
-
-    
-      Calendaring is an important part of a groupware suite.  A
-      calendaring framework will allow a user to keep a personal
-      calendar and have several applications use it.  Such
-      applications could be a graphical calendar client that the user
-      employs to schedule appointments and keep track of his time, a
-      Palm Pilot synchronization client, or
-      a simple alarm or reminder utility.  A comprehensive calendaring
-      framework will also allow multiple users to schedule
-      appointments between each other; for example, a project director
-      may want to schedule a weekly meeting with the rest of the
-      project members, or a person who owns a large house may want to
-      schedule a big party with his friends.  The attendees will then
-      want to reply with messages such as, “I will
-      attend”, or “I will attend only if the proposed time
-      is changed”.
-    
-
-    
-      The &Evolution; groupware suite provides a framework for
-      developing calendaring applications, as well as a graphical
-      calendar client or calendar user agent (&CUA;) and a personal
-      calendar server (&PCS;).
-    
-
-    
-      The following sections explain the basic calendaring framework,
-      the functions of the calendar user agent and the personal
-      calendar server, and the relationship between the two.
-    
-  
-
-  
-
-  
-    Personal Calendar Server
-
-    
-      The personal calendar server (&PCS;) provides centralized
-      management and storage of a user's personal calendar.  Multiple
-      clients can connect to the &PCS; simultaneously to query and
-      modify the user's calendar in a synchronized fashion.  The main
-      features of the &PCS; are as follows:
-    
-
-    
-      Storage
-
-      
-	The &PCS; is responsible for loading and saving calendars.
-	Centralizing the loading and saving functionality allows
-	multiple clients to use the same calendar at the same time
-	without having to worry about each other.
-      
-

-      Basic Queries
-
-      
-	The &PCS; provides functions to do basic queries on a
-	calendar, for example, a client can ask the server for a list
-	of all the appointments in the calendar, or for all the data
-	for a specific appointment.
-      
-    
-
-    
-      Recurrence and Alarm Queries
-
-      
-	Clients can ask the &PCS; for a list of the appointments that
-	occur within a specified time range; for example a graphical
-	client that has a per-week view could ask the &PCS; for all
-	the appointments that occur in a particular week.  This
-	includes multiple occurrences of a single recurring event; for
-	example, the object for “a 1-hour meeting that occurs on
-	every Tuesday and Thursday” is represented inside the
-	&PCS; as a single event with a recurrence rule.  Similarly,
-	clients can ask the &PCS; for a list of events that have
-	alarms that trigger within a specified time range.
-      
-    
-
-    
-      Notification of Changes
-
-      
-	This is the most important function of the &PCS;, as it allows
-	multiple calendar clients to maintain a unified view of the
-	calendar between the server and themselves.  When a client
-	asks the &PCS; to modify or remove an event, the &PCS;
-	notifies all the clients that are connected to it about the
-	change.  The policy is that “the server is always
-	right”; clients can act as dumb views onto the
-	calendar's data and they will be notified by the &PCS; when
-	something changes.
-      
-    
-  
-
-  
-
-  
-    Calendar User Agent
-
-    
-      A calendar user agent (&CUA;) is a program that lets a user
-      manipulate a calendar.  &Evolution; provides an attractive,
-      graphical calendar client that communicates with the &Evolution;
-      personal calendar server.
-    
-
-    
-      The &Evolution; calendar client just provides a view onto the
-      data that is stored and managed by the personal calendar server.
-      The calendar client does not perform direct manipulations on a
-      calendar's data; instead it offloads those requests to the
-      calendar server, which takes care of making the appropriate
-      modifications in the calendar and then notifies all the clients
-      about the changes.
-    
-  
-
-  
-
-  
-    Calendar Client Library
-
-    
-      Communication between the personal calendar server and calendar
-      clients is defined by a set of &Bonobo; &CORBA; interfaces.
-      Clients can be written by implementing the client-side
-      Listener interface, which defines the
-      notification callbacks that the PCS uses to inform clients about
-      changes to the calendar.
-    
-
-    
-      As a convenience for >K; programmers, &Evolution; also
-      includes a library which provides a
-      CalClient class which can be used for
-      communication with the personal calendar server.  Objects of
-      this class automatically contact the PCS when they are created.
-      CalClient provides functions to request
-      changes in the calendar, and it also emits signals when it gets
-      notification about changes from the PCS.  This makes it easy and
-      convenient to write calendar clients for &Evolution; using
-      >K;.
-    
-
-    
-      The implementation of the CalClient class
-      simply wraps the &Evolution; &CORBA; interfaces for calendaring
-      with a familiar-looking >K; object.  Calls to the
-      Listener interface get translated to
-      signal emissions from the CalClient, thus
-      shielding programmers from the details of the &CORBA;
-      interfaces.

-  
-
-  
-    Introduction
-
-    
-      &Camel; is a generic messaging library. It is being used as the
-      back end for the mail component of &Evolution;. The name
-      "&Camel;" is an acronym; it refers to the fact that the
-      library is capable of going several days without food or water.
-      It means : Camel's Acronym Makes Everyone Laugh.
-    
-
-    
-      &Camel;'s initial design is heavily based on Sun's
-      JavaMail API. It uses the Gtk+ object
-      system, and many of its classes are direct analags of JavaMail
-      classes. Its design has also been influenced by the features of
-      IMAP, and the limitations of the standard UNIX mbox mail store,
-      which set some of the boundaries on its requirements and
-      extensibility.
-    
-
-    
-      &Camel; sees all message repositories as stores containing
-      folders. These folders in turn contain the messages the client
-      actually accesses. The use of such a unified interface allows
-      the client applications to be very extensible. &Camel; includes
-      an external provider mechanism which allows applications to
-      dynamically load and use protocols which were not available when
-      the application was initially written.
-    
-
-    
-      The abstract store/folder mechanism is a powerful and versatile
-      way of accessing messages. No particular asumptions are made on
-      the client side, thus allowing new ways of managing the
-      messages. For example, the messages stored in the folders don't
-      necessarily have to share some common physical location. The
-      folder can be a purely virtual folder, containing only
-      references to the actual messages. This is used by the "vFolder"
-      provider, which allows you select messages meeting particular
-      criteria and deal with them as a group.
-    
-
-    
-      In addition to these possibilities, &Camel; has full MIME
-      support. &Camel; MIME messages are lightweight objects
-      representing the MIME skeleton of the actual message. The data
-      contained in the subparts are never stored in memory except when
-      they are actually needed. The application, when accessing the
-      various MIME objects contained in the message (text parts,
-      attachments, embedded binary objects ...) asks &Camel; for a
-      stream that it can read data from. This scheme is particularly
-      useful with the IMAP provider. IMAP has strong MIME support
-      built-in, which allows &Camel; to download only the parts of
-      messages that it actually needs: attachments need not be
-      downloaded until they are viewed, and unnecessary
-      "multipart/alternative" parts will never be read off the server.
-    
-  
-
-  
-    Overview
-
-    
-
-    
-      To begin using &Camel;, an application first creates a
-      CamelSession object. This object is used
-      to store application defaults, and to coordinate communication
-      between providers and the application.
-    
-
-    
-      A CamelProvider is a dynamically-loadable
-      module that provides functionality associated with a specific
-      service. Examples of providers are IMAP and SMTP. Providers
-      include subclasses of the various other &Camel; classes for
-      accessing and manipulating messages.
-    
-
-    
-      CamelService is an abstract class for
-      describing a connection to a local or remote service. It
-      currently has two subclasses: CamelStore,
-      for services that store messages (such as IMAP servers and mbox
-      files), and CamelTransport, for services
-      that deliver messages (such as SMTP, or a local MTA). A provider
-      could also be both a store and a transport, as in the case of
-      NNTP.
-    
-
-    
-      A CamelStore contains some number of
-      CamelFolder objects, which in turn
-      contain messages. A CamelFolder provides
-      a CamelFolderSummary object, which
-      includes details about the subject, date, and sender of each
-      message in the folder. The folder also includes the messages
-      themselves, as subclasses of CamelMedium.
-    
-
-    
-      Email messages are represented by the
-      CamelMimeMessage class, a subclass of
-      CamelMedium. This class includes
-      operations for accessing RFC822 and MIME headers, accessing
-      subparts of MIME messages, encoding and decoding Base64 and
-      Quoted-Printable, etc.
-    
-
-    
-      CamelTransport includes methods for
-      delivering messages. While the abstract
-      CamelTransport::send method takes a
-      CamelMedium, its subclasses may only be
-      able to deliver messages of specific
-      CamelMedium subclasses. For instance,
-      CamelSendmailTransport requires a
-      CamelMimeMessage, because it needs a
-      message that includes a "To:" header. A hypothetical
-      CamelNNTPTransport would need a
-      CamelNewsMessage, which would have a
-      "Newsgroups:" header.
-    
-
-    
-      The content of messages are referred to using
-      CamelStream and its subclasses. In the
-      case of an mbox-based store, the
-      CamelStream would abstract the operation
-      of reading the correct section of the mbox file. For IMAP,
-      reading off the CamelStream might result
-      in commands being issued to the remote IMAP server and data
-      being read off a socket.
-    
-
-    
-      The final major class in &Camel; is
-      CamelException, which is used to
-      propagate information about errors. Many methods take a
-      CamelException as an argument, which the
-      caller can then check if an error occurs. It includes both a
-      numeric error code which can be interpreted by the program, and
-      a text error message that can be displayed to the user.
-    
-  
-
-  
-    Major Subcomponents
-
-    
-      The Message Store
-
-      
-        A CamelStore inherits the ability to
-        connect and authenticate to a service from its parent class,
-        CamelService. It then adds the ability
-        to retrieve folders. A store must contain at least one folder,
-        which can be retrieved with
-        CamelStore::get_default_folder. There are
-        also methods to retrieve the "top-level" folder (for
-        hieararchical stores), and to retrieve an arbitrary folder by
-        name.
-      
-
-      
-        All CamelFolders must implement certain
-        core operations, most notably generating a summary and
-        retrieving and deleting messages. A
-        CamelFolder must assign a permanently
-        unique identifier to each message it contains. Messages can
-        then be retrieved via
-        CamelFolder::get_message_by_uid. Alternately,
-        within a single mail-reading session, messages can be referred
-        to by their linear position within the store using
-        CamelFolder::get_message_by_number.
-      
-
-      
-        Folders must also implement the
-        get_parent_folder and
-        list_subfolders methods. For stores that
-        don't allow multiple folders, they would return NULL and an
-        empty list, respectively. Stores that do allow multiple
-        folders will also define methods for creating and deleting
-        folders, and for moving messages between them (assuming the
-        folders are writable).
-      
-
-      
-        Folders that support searching can define the
-        search_by_expression method. For mbox
-        folders, this is implemented by indexing the messages with the
-        ibex library and using that to search them later. For IMAP
-        folders, this uses the IMAP SEARCH command. Other folder types
-        might not be able to implement this functionality, in which
-        case users would not be able to do full-content searches on
-        them.
-      
-    
-
-    
-      Messages
-
-      
-        As mentioned before, messages are represented by subclasses of
-        CamelMedium.
-        CamelMedium itself is a subclass of
-        CamelDataWrapper, a generic class for
-        connecting a typed data source to a data sink.
-        CamelMedium adds the concept of message
-        headers versus message body.
-        (CamelDataWrapper has one other
-        important subclass, CamelMultipart,
-        which is used to provide separate access to the multiple
-        independent parts of a multipart MIME type.)
-        CamelMedium's subclasses provide more
-        specialized handling of various headers:
-        CamelMimePart adds special handling for
-        the &ldquot;Content-*&rdquot; headers in MIME messages, and
-        its subclass CamelMimeMessage adds
-        handling for the RFC822 headers.
-      
-
-      
-
-      
-        Consider a message with two parts: a text part (in both plain
-        text and HTML), and an attached image:
-
-	
-
-	  From: Dan Winship <danw@helixcode.com>
-	  To: Matt Loper <matt@helixcode.com>
-	  Subject: the Camel white paper
-	  MIME-Version: 1.0
-	  Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
-		boundary="jhTYrnsRrdhDFGa"
-
-	  This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
-	  --jhTYrnsRrdhDFGa
-	  Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
-		boundary="sFSenbAFDSgDfg"
-
-	  --sFSenbAFDSgDfg
-	  Content-Type: text/plain
-
-	  Hey, Matt
-
-	  Check out this graphic...
-
-	  -- Dan
-
-	  --sFSenbAFDSgDfg
-	  Content-Type: text/html
-
-	  Hey, Matt<br>
-	  <br>
-	  Check out this graphic...<br>
-	  <br>
-	  -- Dan<br>
-	  <br>
-	  --sFSenbAFDSgDfg--
-
-	  --jhTYrnsRrdhDFGa
-	  Content-Type: image/png
-	  Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
-
-	  F4JLw0ORrkRa8AwAMQJLAaI3UDIGsco9RAaB92...
-	  --jhTYrnsRrdhDFGa--
-	
-
-	
-	  In &Camel;, this would be represented as follows:
-	
-
-        
-      
-
-      
-        Streams
-
-	
-	  Streams are a generic data transport layer. Two basic stream
-	  classes are CamelStreamFs, for
-	  reading and writing files, and
-	  CamelStreamMem, for reading from and
-	  writing to objects that are already in memory.
-	
-
-	
-	  Streams can also be chained together. So a CamelMimePart
-	  containing base64-encoded data can filter its output through
-	  a CamelStreamB64. Other parts of the application that want
-	  to read its data will never need to even realize that the
-	  original data was encoded.
-

-    Ibex: an Indexing System

-    
-
-  
-
-  
-    Introduction
-
-    
-      &Ibex; is a library for text indexing. It is being used by
-      &Camel; to allow it to quickly search locally-stored messages,
-      either because the user is looking for a specific piece of text,
-      or because the application is contructing a vFolder or filtering
-      incoming mail.
-    
-  
-
-  
-    Design Goals and Requirements for Ibex
-
-    
-      The design of &Ibex; is based on a number of requirements.
-
-    
-      
-        
-	  First, obviously, it must be fast. In particular, searching
-	  the index must be appreciably faster than searching through
-	  the messages themselves, and constructing and maintaining
-	  the index must not take a noticeable amount of time.
-	
-      
-
-      
-        
-	  The indexes must not take up too much space. Many users have
-	  limited filesystem quotas on the systems where they read
-	  their mail, and even users who read mail on private machines
-	  have to worry about running out of space on their disks. The
-	  indexes should be able to do their job without taking up so
-	  much space that the user decides he would be better off
-	  without them.
-	
-
-	
-	  Another aspect of this problem is that the system as a whole
-	  must be clever about what it does and does not index:
-	  accidentally indexing a "text" mail message containing
-	  uuencoded, BinHexed, or PGP-encrypted data will drastically
-	  affect the size of the index file. Either the caller or the
-	  indexer itself has to avoid trying to index these sorts of
-	  things.
-	
-      
-
-      
-        
-	  The indexing system must allow data to be added to the index
-	  incrementally, so that new messages can be added to the
-	  index (and deleted messages can be removed from it) without
-	  having to re-scan all existing messages.
-	
-      
-
-      
-        
-	  It must allow the calling application to explain the
-	  structure of the data however it wants to, rather than
-	  requiring that the unit of indexing be individual files.
-	  This way, &Camel; can index a single mbox-format file and
-	  treat it as multiple messages.
-	
-      
-
-      
-        
-	  It must support non-ASCII text, given that many people send
-	  and receive non-English email, and even people who only
-	  speak English may receive email from people whose names
-	  cannot be written in the US-ASCII character set.
-	
-      
-    
-
-    
-      While there are a number of existing indexing systems, none of
-      them met all (or even most) of our requirements.
-    
-  
-
-  
-    The Implementation
-
-    
-      &Ibex; is still young, and many of the details of the current
-      implementation are not yet finalized.
-    
-
-    
-      With the current index file format, 13 megabytes of Info files
-      can be indexed into a 371 kilobyte index file—a bit under
-      3% of the original size. This is reasonable, but making it
-      smaller would be nice. (The file format includes some simple
-      compression, but gzip can compress an
-      index file to about half its size, so we can clearly do better.)
-    
-
-    
-      The implementation has been profiled and optimized for speed to
-      some degree. But, it has so far only been run on a 500MHz
-      Pentium III system with very fast disks, so we have no solid
-      benchmarks.
-    
-
-    
-      Further optimization (of both the file format and the in-memory
-      data structures) awaits seeing how the library is most easily
-      used by &Evolution;: if the indexes are likely to be kept in
-      memory for long periods of time, the in-memory data structures
-      need to be kept small, but the reading and writing operations
-      can be slow. On the other hand, if the indexes will only be
-      opened when they are needed, reading and writing must be fast,
-      and memory usage is less critical.
-    
-
-    
-      Of course, to be useful for other applications that have
-      indexing needs, the library should provide several options, so
-      that each application can use the library in the way that is
-      most suited for its needs.
-

-  
-
-  
-    Introduction
-
-    
-      &ETable; is a table widget on steroids. It is intended to provide
-      all the table functionality needed throughout &Evolution;, and
-      hopefully be general purpose enough to be used in other projects.
-    
-
-    
-      &ETable; provides a lot of interactive control over the data in the
-      table.  Without any work from the programmer, &ETable; provides
-      rearrangeable columns and editable data.  When finished, &ETable; will
-      also provide, again with no programmer intervention, easy interactive
-      sorting and grouping.  
-    
-
-    
-      &ETable; gives you a great deal of functionality, flexibility, and
-      power. Most of this power is internal to the widget, but some of
-      the flexibility requires a bit of work by the programmer.
-      However, once you learn it, &ETable; is not very hard at all to
-      use.
-    
-
-    
-      &ETable;'s power comes from the fact that it is fully
-      model/view/controller based.  Various models are involved into
-      the process of rendering the information, and various views are
-      provided.  The programmer has a wide range of options: from the
-      most finely hand-tuned table to a generic all-encompasing widget
-      that takes over most of tasks.  It is up to the programmer: he
-      can use the simple to use &ETable; widget that takes care of
-      everything in a generic way, or he can use the various
-      components to roll his own tabular display.
-    
-
-    
-      &ETable; ships with a standard set of information renderers:
-      strings, bitmaps, toggle-buttons, check-boxes, and multi-line
-      strings.  But the programmer can write and implement his own
-      renderer for his information.  This means that by default
-      &ETable; provides the basic display facilities that programmers
-      required, but they offer the programmer a complete freedom to
-      incorporate new cell renderers.
-

-  
-    ETableModel
-
-    
-      The data back end for the &ETable; is an &ETableModel;. The
-      &ETableModel is an abstract interface that acts as the
-      information repository for the various &ETable components.
-    
-    
-    
-      To use &ETable; you have to create a subclass of the abstract
-      &ETableModel; class.  However, to save you the work of defining
-      a new GtkClass every time you use
-      &ETable, there is a predefined subclass of &ETableModel; called
-      &ETableSimple; which simply takes a list of function callbacks
-      to perform the various operations.
-    
-
-  
-    
-  
-    Columns
-
-    
-      There are two different meanings to the word "column". The first
-      is the model column (defined by the &ETableCol: object). A model
-      column describes how it maps to the column in the &ETableModel;
-      as well as containing information about its properties (name,
-      resizability, resize dimensions, and a renderer for this
-      specific columns). 
-    
-
-    
-      &ETable; distinguishes between a model column index, and a view
-      column index.  The former reflects the column in which the data
-      is stored in the &ETableModel;  The later represents the actual
-      location at which the column is being displayed in the screen.
-    
-
-    
-      Each view column index corresponds to a specific model column,
-      though a model column may have any number of view columns
-      associated with it (including zero).  For example the same
-      column might be rendered twice, or the data from one column
-      could be used to display different bits of information
-    
-
-    
-      The view column does not necessarily depend on only one model
-      column. In some cases, the view column renderer can be given a
-      reference to another model column to get extra information about
-      its display. For example, a mail program could display deleted
-      messages with a line through them by creating a model column
-      with no corresponding view column that told whether or not the
-      message is deleted, and then having the text column
-      strikethrough the display if the invisible column had a value
-      corresponding to "deleted".
-    
-
-    
-      The view column also specifies a few other pieces of
-      information. One piece of information is the renderer. &ETable;
-      provides a number of renderers to choose from, or you can write
-      your own. Currently, there are renderers for text, image sets,
-      and checkboxes.
-    
-
-    
-      The view column also includes information about the header.
-      There are two types of headers: text, and pixbuf. The first
-      allows you to specify a string which is rendered in the header.
-      The second allows you to specify an image to copy into the
-      header.
-    
-  
-
-  
-    Header
-
-    
-      The &ETableHeader; represents the header information for the
-      table. The &ETableHeader; is used in two different ways. The
-      first is the in the full_header
-      element of an &ETable;. This is the list of possible columns in
-      the view. You add each of your columns to this &ETableHeader;
-      and then pass it into the &ETable;.
-    
-
-    
-      The second use is completely internal. &ETable; uses another
-      &ETableHeader; to store the actual displayed columns. Many of
-      the &ETableHeader; functions are for this purpose. The only
-      functions that users of the library should need to use are
-      e_table_header_new and
-      e_table_header_add_col.
-    
-  
-
-  
-    Layout Specification
-
-    
-      &ETable; uses an &ETableSpecification; to layout the columns of
-      the widget. The &ETableSpecification; is specified as XML data
-      passed into the &ETable; as a string.
-    
-
-    
-      The most powerful part of the &ETableSpecification; is that when
-      finished, &ETable; will allow you to get a copy of an
-      &ETableSpecification; that describes the current view of the
-      tree. This allows the developer to save the current view so that
-      next time the user opens this table, they find it in exactly the
-      state that they left it.
-    
-
-    
-      The XML specification allows for a number of things. First, it
-      allows you to pick a set of default columns to be shown. Thus,
-      even if you had hundreds of pieces of data, you could choose to
-      only display a few that fit on the screen by default.
-    
-
-    
-      The second major thing that the &ETableSpecification; allows you
-      to specify is the column grouping and sorting. &ETable; has a
-      powerful mechanism for allowing the user to choose columns to
-      group by, thus allowing multiple columns of sorting, as well as
-      visual grouping of similar elements and interactive selection of
-      what data to display.
-    
-
-    
-      The grouping in &ETableSpecification; is specified as a
-      hierarchy of columns to group by. Each level of the hierarchy
-      lets you sort by a particular column, either ascending or
-      descending. All levels except the last cause the canvas to group
-      by the given column.
-    
-
-    
-      An example &ETableSpecification; follows.
-    
-
-    
-      <ETableSpecification>
-        <columns-shown frozen_columns="2">
-	  <column> 0 </column>
-	  <column> 1 </column>
-	  <column> 2 </column>
-	  <column> 3 </column>
-	  <column> 4 </column>
-	</columns-shown>
-	<grouping>
-	  <group column="3" ascending="1">
-	    <group column="4" ascending="0">
-	      <leaf column="2" ascending="1"/>
-	    </group>
-	  </group>
-	</grouping>
-      </ETableSpecification>
-    
-
-    
-      This example has 5 columns which are initially in order. It has
-      2 levels of grouping. The first is grouped by the 4th column
-      (all indexes are 0 based) and sorts those groups in ascending
-      order. Inside those groups, the data is grouped by the fifth
-      column and sorted in descending order of the fifth column.
-      Finally, the data in those groups is sorted by the third column
-      in ascending order. Due to the "frozen_columns" attribute on the
-      columns-shown element, the user will not be
-      able to rearrange the first two columns. They will always be the
-      first two.
-    
-  
-
-  
-    Conclusion
-
-    
-      All in all, &ETable; is a very powerful widget. Once you learn
-      to use it, you have access to a vast amount of power requiring a
-      comparatively small amount of work.
