      <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, 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.  

      To add columns:
      <orderedlist numeration="arabic">

      <para>
        Click and drag a column you want into a space between
        existing column headers.  A red arrow will show you where
        the column will be placed.
      </para>

    Most mail clients can search through your messages for you,

         folder.

        search criteria (each with the same options you saw in the

        messages that match all of them, or messages that match even
        one. Then, click <guibutton>Search</guibutton> to go and find
        those messages.

      <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 quickly. Of
    course, it's also faster and more flexible than an actual
    person with a pile of envelopes.

            Specific Header - The filter can look at any header you
            want, even obscure or custom ones. Enter the header name
            in the first text box, and put your search text in the
            second one.

            is run, or to a specific time and date you choose from a
            calendar.  You can even have it look for messages within a

              Filtering on mailing lists uses the domain part (@ximian.com) of the address and the user part (the part before the @).  However, if you wish to exclude the domain section from being filtered, simply don't put anything after the user.

      <title>Getting Really Organized with vFolders</title>
      <para>
    If filters aren't flexible enough for you, or you find
    yourself performing the same search again and again, consider
    a vFolder. vFolders, or virtual folders, are an advanced way
    of viewing your email messages within
    <application>Ximian Evolution</application>.  If you get a lot of
    mail or often forget where you put messages, vFolders
    can help you stay on top of things.
      </para>
      <para>
    A vFolder 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 vFolder 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 vFolder criteria arrive or are
    deleted, <application>Ximian Evolution</application> will
    automatically place them in and remove them from the
    vFolder contents list.  When you delete a message, it gets
    erased from the folder in which it actually exists, as well as
    any vFolders 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.  vFolders
    make for better organization because they can accept
    overlapping groups in a way that regular folders and filing
    systems can't.
      </para>


    <note id="unmatched-vfolder">
      <title>The Unmatched vFolder</title>
      <para>
    Obviously, not all messages will fit into all your Virtual
    Folders.  That's why <application>Ximian Evolution</application>
    includes an UNMATCHED vFolder.  The UNMATCHED 
    vFolder displays messages that are not matched by other rules.
      </para>

      <title>Using Folders, Searches, and vFolders</title>
      <para>
    To organize his mailbox, Jim sets up a virtual volder for emails from
    his friend and co-worker Anna.  He has another one for messages that
    have ximian.com in the address and <application>Ximian Evolution</application> in the subject line, so he
    can keep a record of what people from work send him about
    <application>evolution</application>.  If Anna sends him a message about
    anything other than <application>Ximian Evolution</application>, it only shows up in the "Anna" folder.
    When Anna sends him mail about the user interface for
    <application>evolution</application>, he can see that message both in
    the "Anna" vFolder and in the "Internal Evolution Discussion"
    vFolder.

            Specific Header - The vFolder can look at any header you

            in the first text box, and put your search text in the

            Then, choose the time. The vFolder will compare the
            message's time-stamp to the system clock when the filter
            is run, or to a specific time and date you choose from a
            calendar.  You can even have it look for messages within a
            range of time relative to the filter &mdash; perhaps you're
            looking for messages less than two days old.

            Date Recieved - This works the same way as the <guilabel>Date Sent</guilabel>
