<chapter id="config-prefs">

      <title>Advanced Configuration</title>
      <para>
        Perhaps your mail server has changed names.  Perhaps you've
        grown tired of a certain layout for your appointments.
        Whatever the reason, you want to change your
        <application>Evolution</application> settings.  This chapter
        will tell you how to do just that.
      </para>
      <para>
        Evolution 1.2 brings with it a redesigned comprehensive
        settings window that you can open by choosing <menuchoice>
        <guimenu>Tools</guimenu>
        <guimenuitem>Settings</guimenuitem></menuchoice>, no matter
        where you are in Evolution. On the left half of the settings
        window is a column, similar to the Evolution shortcut bar,
        which lets you choose which portion of Evolution to
        customize. The right half of the window is where you'll make
        your actual changes.
      </para>

  <para>
    There are eight items you can customize. From top to bottom, they
    are:
    <variablelist>
      <varlistentry>
    <term><guiicon>Mail Accounts</guiicon></term>
    <listitem>
      <para>
             Here, add or change information about your email
             accounts: the servers to which you connect, the way you
             download mail, your password authentication mode, and so
             forth. This is the most complex item in the list, and is
             covered in <xref linkend="config-prefs-mail-identity"/>.
          </para>
    </listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry>
    <term><guiicon>Folder Settings</guiicon></term>
    <listitem>
      <para>
             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.
          </para>
    </listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry>
    <term><guiicon>Mail Preferences</guiicon></term>
    <listitem>
      <para>
             These are overall mail reading preferences: display
             settings, notification options, security, and so
            forth. Settings that vary per-account are in the Mail
            Accounts tool, described in <xref
            linkend="config-prefs-mail-identity"/>, but most of the
            mail settings are here.
          </para>
    </listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry>
    <term><guiicon>Composer Preferences</guiicon></term>
    <listitem>
      <para>
             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 <xref
             linkend="config-prefs-mail-composer"/>.
          </para>
    </listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry>
    <term><guiicon>Calendar and Tasks</guiicon></term>
    <listitem>
      <para>
             Here, you can set the way the calendar behaves, including
             your time zone and the length of your work-week.
          </para>
    </listitem>
      </varlistentry>

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