  <sect1 id="summary-intro">
    <title>Using the Summary</title>
    <para>
      The Ximian Evolution Summary can show you what you need to know
      quickly.  It will show you your tasks for that day, how many
      emails are waiting for you, and much more.
    </para>
    <para>
      To begin using your Summary, click on the <guilabel>Shortcut
      Bar</guilabel> or <guilabel>Summary</guilabel> at the top of the
      <guilabel>Folder Bar</guilabel>.  By default, you will see:

    <title>Customizing the Summary's Modules</title>
    <para>
      <application>Evolution's</application> modules can be customized
      to suit your needs.  For example, you can choose which mail
      boxes are summarized, and which news services appear.
    </para>


  <note id="summary-http-proxy">
    <title>Using the Summary through an HTTP Proxy</title>
        <para>
           If you use an HTTP proxy, <application>Ximian
           Evolution</application> must be able to find it through the
           <systemitem>gnome-vfs</systemitem> subsystem before it can
           access news and weather from the Internet.  This is also
           the case if you wish to load remote images into HTML mail
           message.  You can tell the GNOME Virtual File System about
           your HTTP proxy in one of two ways:
