    <title>Organizing and Managing your Email</title>
    <para>
      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 <emphasis>need</emphasis> to sort and organize them.
      Fortunately, <application>Evolution</application> has the tools
      to help you do it.

      <title>Sorting Mail with Column Headers</title>
      <para>
         By default, the message list has columns with the following
         headings: an envelope icon indicating whether you have read
         or replied to a message (closed for unread, open for read,
         and open with an arrow on it to indicate you've sent a
         reply), an exclamation point indicating priority, and the
         <guilabel>From</guilabel>, <guilabel>Subject</guilabel>, and
         <guilabel>Date</guilabel> fields. You can change their order
         and remove them by dragging and dropping them.  You can add
         new ones with the <guimenuitem>Field Chooser</guimenuitem>
         item in the right click menu for the column headings.

      <para>
    <application>Evolution</application> keeps mail, as well as
    address cards and calendars, in folders.  You start out with a
    few, like <guilabel>Inbox</guilabel>,
    <guilabel>Outbox</guilabel>, and <guilabel>Drafts</guilabel>,
    but you can create as many as you like.  Create new folders by

    <guimenuitem>Folder</guimenuitem> from the
    <guimenu>File</guimenu> menu.
    <application>Evolution</application> will as you for the name

      <para>
        When you click <guibutton>OK</guibutton>, your new folder will

      <title>Searching for Messages</title>
      <para>
    Most mail clients can search through your messages for you,

    body, or both body and subject.
      </para>
      <para>
    To start searching, enter a word or phrase in the text area
    right below the toolbar, and choose a search type:

        <term><guilabel>Body or subject contains:</guilabel></term>

            This finds every email message that does not have the

            messages that have the search text in the subject
            line, if it is not also in the body.

        will show your search results in the message list.

         If you think you'll want to return to a search again, you can

         When you're done with the search, go back to seeing all your
         messages by choosing <guimenuitem>Show All</guimenuitem> from
         the <guilabel>Search</guilabel> drop-down box. If you're
         sneaky, just enter a blank search: since every message has at
         least one space in it, you'll see every message in the
         folder.
      </para>

      <para>
        If you'd like to perform a more complex search, open the
        advanced search dialog by selecting
        <guilabel>Advanced...</guilabel> from the
        <guilabel>Search</guilabel> drop-down menu.  Then, create your
        search criteria (each with the same options you saw in the
        regular search bar), and decide whether you want to find
        messages that match all of them, or messages that match even
        one. Then, click <guibutton>Search</guibutton> to go and find
        those messages.
     </para>

     <para>
        You'll see a similar approach to sorting messages when you
        create filters and virtual folders in the next few sections.

      <title>Staying organized: Mail Filters in Evolution</title>
      <para>
    Filters work very much like the mail room in a large company.
    Their purpose is to bundle, sort, and distribute mail to the
    various folders.  
        In addition, you can have multiple filters performing multiple
        actions that may effect the same message in several ways.  For
        example, your filters could put copies of one message into
        multiple folders, or keep a copy and send one to another
        person as well, and it can do that in under a second. Which is
        to say, it's faster and more flexible than an actual person
        with a pile of envelopes.
      </para>
      <para>
        Most often, you'll want to have
        <application>Evolution</application> put mail into different
        folders, but you can have it do almost anything you like.
        People who get lots of mail, or who often need to refer to old
        messages, find filters especially helpful, but they can greatly benefit
        anybody who gets more than a few messages a day.  To
        create a filter, open the <interface>filter
        assistant</interface> by selecting
    <menuchoice>
      <guimenu>Settings</guimenu> 
          <guimenuitem>Mail Filters</guimenuitem>
        </menuchoice>.

      <para>
        The <interface>filter assistant</interface> window contains a
        list of your current filters, sorted by the order in which
        they are used.  From the drop-down box at the top of the
        window, choose <guilabel>Incoming</guilabel> to display
        filters for incoming mail, and <guilabel>Outgoing</guilabel>
        for those which sort only outgoing mail.
      </para>
      <para>
         The <interface>filter assistant</interface> also has a set of
         buttons:

        If you don't have any filters set up, the only one of those
        buttons you can click is <guibutton>Add</guibutton>, which
        will open a dialog to let you add a filter rule.  If you do
        have filters, you can either add a new filter rule, or select

      You can tell <application>Evolution</application> to filter by
      mailing list.  This means that <application>Evolution</application>
      will look at the mailing list address, and find out automatically
      what list this is.  If you are subscribed to mailing lists, you
      should use the <guibutton>Filter by List</guibutton> instead of by
      sender.
      <example>

        <para>
          Kevin subscribes to bananas@ximian.com.  However, there is also
          a bananas@ximian.org address.  If he used a regular
          <guibutton>Filter by Sender</guibutton>, he would need to specify
          one for each address.  However, <guibutton>Filter by
          List</guibutton> will recognize that both of them are the same

      <title>Getting Really Organized with Virtual Folders</title>
      <para>
    If filters aren't flexible enough for you, or you find
    yourself 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
    <application>Evolution</application>.  If you get a lot of
    mail or often forget where you put messages, virtual folders can help
    you stay on top of things.
      </para>
      <para>
    A virtual folder 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.  In other words, while a conventional
    folder actually contains messages, a virtual folder is a view of
    messages that may be in several different folders.  The
    messages it contains are determined on the fly using a set of
    criteria you choose in advance.
      </para>

      <para>
    As messages that meet the virtual folder criteria arrive or are
    deleted, <application>Evolution</application> will
    automatically place them in and remove them from the
    virtual folder contents list.  When you delete a message, it gets
    erased from the folder in which it actually exists, as well as
    any virtual folders which display it.
      </para>

      <para>
    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 more mail you need to organize, the less you
    can afford the sort of confusion that stems from an
    organizational system that's not flexible enough.  Virtual folders
    make for better organization because they can accept
    overlapping groups in a way that regular folders and filing
    systems can't.
      </para>

      <example id="usage-mail-organize-vFolders-ex">
    <title>Using Folders, Searches, and Virtual Folders</title>
    <para>
       To organize my mail box, I set up a virtual folder for
       emails from my friend and co-worker Anna.  I have another
       one for messages that have "ximian.com" in the address and
       "Evolution" in the subject line, so I can keep a record of
       what people from work send me about
       <application>Evolution</application>.  If Anna sends me a
       message about anything other than Evolution, it only shows
       up in the "Anna" folder. When Anna sends me mail about the
       user interface for <application>Evolution</application>, I
       can see that message both in the "Anna" virtual folder and
       in the "Internal Evolution Discussion" virtual folder.
    </para>
      </example>

    <!--  (INSERT SCREENSHOT HERE: virtual folders in action) -->

     To create a virtual folder, select <menuchoice>
     <guimenu>Settings</guimenu> <guimenuitem>Virtual Folder

     dialog box that looks suspiciously like the filter window
     (for more information on filters, see <xref
     linkend="usage-mail-organize-filters">), and which
     presents you with a list of virtual folders you have previously
     created. If you have created any virtual folders, they are listed
     here, and you can select, edit or remove them if you wish.
     If you have not created any, there will be only one available
     option: click <guibutton>Add</guibutton> to add a new
     Virtual Folder.
      </para>
      <para>
     You can enter a name for your virtual folder in the
     <guilabel>Name</guilabel>.  Then, tell
     <application>Evolution</application> what messages to look
     for.  This process is exactly like filter creation: decide
     between <guilabel>Match all parts</guilabel> and
     <guilabel>Match any part</guilabel>, then choose what part of
     the message to look in, what sort of matching to perform, and
     specify exactly what it is that you want to find, be it a
     line of text, a score, a regular expression, or a particular date or
     range of dates.
       </para>
       <para>
         The second part, however, is slightly different.  In the
         section of the window labelled <guilabel>Virtual Folder Sources
         </guilabel> is a list of folders in which
         <application>Evolution</application> will search for the

         to add a folder, or <guibutton>Remove</guibutton> to remove
         one.  That way, you can have your vFolder search in
         newsgroups, or just in one of your mailboxes, or just in a
         select few folders you've already screened with filters.

      <title>What is Encryption?</title>
      <para>
    Encryption is an ancient method of changing readable text to unreadable
    text that dates back to Egyptian times.  Encryption takes the statement
    "Evolution" and turns it into something which cannot be read without help
    through decryption.
    <example>
      <title>Encryption Example</title>
      <para>
        Kevin orders an <application>Evolution</application> t-shirt from
        Ximian, Inc. over the internet.  He puts in his credit card number
        which is 1234-567-8901.  For security, his computer encrypts the
        credit card number so it can be safely transmitted over the internet.
        The number now is @#$23ui7yr87#@!48970fsd, which holds no intentional
        resemblance to the inital number.  When the information gets to
        Ximian, Inc. it'll be decrypted into the inital number.
      </para>
    </example>
    Encryption can be used in email in two ways: to verify that the sender is
    the real sender, and to hide the message while in transmission.
    <application>Evolution</application> has the capability to do both.

      <title>Generating your PGP key</title>

    <title>GPG Versions</title>
    <para>
      This manual covers version 1.0.6 of GPG.  If your version is different,
      this may not be entirely accurate.  You may find out your version number
      by typing in: <command>gpg --version</command>.
    </para>
      </tip>
      <para>
    You can start by typing in: <command>gpg --gen-key</command>.  At the
    first question, select 1.  The next question asks you about key length.
    The longer the key, more stronger it is.  However, the longer the key, the
    longer it takes to generate.  This is your choice.  However, 1024 bits
    (default) should be adequate.  The next question asks you if you want your
    key to expire.  Expiring keys make your key invalid after a certain amount
    of time, so old keys don't float around active.  This is the same concept
    as a coupon at a supermarket.  Next, you'll type in your Real name, your
    email address, and a comment.  You should not forge this information, as
    it is used later to verify who you are.  Assuming that all your
    information is correct, press "O" to continue.  GPG now asks you for a
    passphrase.  This is a password which you will need to decrypt and encrypt
    messages.  This can be any length, with any characters in it.  It is case
    sensitive, which means that it does know the difference between capital
    letters and lower-case.  Now your key is generated.  It is recommend you
    surf the internet, read your email, or write a letter in a word
    processor.  This help creates randomness in the key.
      </para>
      <para>
    Once this is completed, you'll be dropped back to the command line.
    Now you can view your key information by typing <command>gpg
