  <title>Menu Reference</title>
  <para>
    <application>Evolution</application>'s menus may not hold the
    secret to happiness, they do hold every ability that
    <application>Evolution</application> has. This section will serve
    as a reference for all those menus, and the capabilites that they
    offer you.
  </para>
  <para>
    In addition, the editor tools for messages, appointments, and
    contacts all have menu bars of their own. From left to right, the
    menus available to you when you are reading mail are:
    <guimenu>File</guimenu>, <guimenu>Edit</guimenu>,
    <guimenu>View</guimenu>, <guimenu>Settings</guimenu>,
    <guimenu>Message</guimenu>, <guimenu>Folder</guimenu>and
    <guimenu>Help</guimenu>.

  </para>
  <para>
    Menus in <application>Evolution</application> are
    context-sensitive, which means that they vary depending on what
    you're doing.  If you're reading your mail, you'll have
    mail-related menus; for your calendar, you'll have
    calendar-related menu items.  Some menus, of course, like
    <guimenu>Help</guimenu> and <guimenu>File</guimenu> don't much, if
    at all, because they have more universal functions.  But you'd
    never mark an address card as "read," or set the recurrence for an
    email message you've recieved. depending on whether you're looking
    at mail, contacts, or calendar information.

      The <guimenu>File</guimenu> and <guimenu>Help</guimenu> menus in
      the main <application>Evolution</application> window do not
      change, because they refer to universal items.  Other menus have
      contents that change depending on context.
