The Ximian Evolution Summary is designed to show you a summary of important information: the appointments for a given day, important email, and so forth.

To remove a service from Summary, do the following: Choose Tools Summary Settings from the menubar. Click the Enable button in the component you would like to disable. Chances are, the components that you setup aren't going to be setup for your needs. For instance, you may choose that you want to use different city choices than the default settings. Evolution lets you configure all the components in Summary. To modify mail: Choose Tools Summary Settings from the menubar. Click the Mail tab at the top of the window. The Mail service window is broken up into two sections. The left section is where your mail folders are listed. The right section shows which folders are displayed.
