  <title>Using Evolution for Email</title>
  <para>
    This chapter, and <xref linkend="usage-mail-organize">, will
      provide you with an in-depth guide to the capabilities of
      Evolution as a mail client.  For information about how to set up
      your mail account, see <xref linkend="config-prefs-mail">.
  </para>
  
  <note>
    <title>If you use IMAP Mail</title>
    <para>
      If you chose IMAP mail during the setup process, you must
      subscribe to your mail folders before you can read mail in
      them. Read <xref linkend="usage-mail-subscriptions"> to find out
      how.
    </para>

    <title>Reading Mail</title>    
    <para>
      Start the mail client by clicking on the
      <guibutton>Inbox</guibutton> icon in the shortcut bar, or by
      selecting a mail folder in the folder bar.  To read a message,
      select it in the message list; if you'd like to see it in its
      own window, double-click on it or press
      <keycombo action="simul">
    <keycap>Ctrl</keycap>
    <keycap>O</keycap>
      </keycombo>.

    <title>Reading Mail with the Keyboard</title>
    <para>
      You can click the spacebar to page down while you're reading
      an email, and press backspace to page up in an email.  This
      may help to make reading your email faster.

      <title>Sorting the message list</title>
      <para>
    <application>Evolution</application> helps you work by letting you sort
    your email.  To sort by sender, subject, or date, click
    on the bars with those labels at the top of the message
    list. The direction of the arrow next to the label indicates
    the direction of the sort, and if you click again, you'll
    sort them in reverse order. For example, click once on
    <guilabel>Date</guilabel> to sort messages by date from
    oldest to newest.  Click again, and
    <application>Evolution</application> sorts the list from
    newest to oldest. You can also right-click on the message
    header bars to get a set of sorting options, and add or
    remove columns from the message list.  You can find detailed
    instructions on how to customize your message display
    columns in <xref linkend="usage-mail-organize-columns">.

      <guimenu>View</guimenu>
          <guimenuitem>Threaded</guimenuitem> 
    </menuchoice> 
    to turn the threaded view on or off.  When you select this option,
    <application>Evolution</application> groups the replies to a
    message with the original, so you can follow the thread of a
    conversation from one message to the next.

          Once you've read your mail, you may want to get rid of

          <title>Why do I still see deleted mail?</title>
          <para>
        When you press <guibutton>Delete</guibutton> or click
        the trash button, your mail isn't actually deleted,
        but is marked for deletion.  Your email is not gone
        until you have expunged it. When you "Expunge" a
        folder, you remove all the mail that you have marked
        for deletion.

    <title>Trash is Actually a vFolder?</title>
    <para>
      Both local and IMAP Trash folders are actually vFolders that
          display all messages you have marked for later deletion.
          For more information about vFolders, see <xref
          linkend="usage-mail-organize-vfolders">.  Since emptying
          your trash expunges the messages in your Trash folder,
          choosing <menuchoice> <guimenu>Actions</guimenu>
          <guimenuitem>Empty Trash</guimenuitem> </menuchoice> is the
          same as expunging deleted mail from <emphasis>all</emphasis>
          your folders.
    </para>
        <para>
           This is not, however, true for the Trash folder on Exchange
           servers, which behaves just the same as it would in
           Outlook. That is to say, the Trash folder on an Exchange
           server is a normal folder with actual messages in it.

              Offline mode is a tool designed for use with a dialup
              connection or for laptop users who do not have a network
              connection at all times. It allows you to cache messages
              for reference while you are not connected to the
              network, and to compose messages and leave them in your
              Outbox to be sent the next time you connect to the network.

               If you use POP mail, all your messages will be
               available to you, because they are stored locally. If
               you use IMAP or Exchange mail, messages are stored

               Messages that you have read are cached and stored
               locally; all read messages will be available to you

               downloaded and saved for offline use if they are in a
               folder that you have marked as an Offline Folder. To
               mark a folder for offline use, select

    <title>Specifying Recipients for Email</title>
        <para>
      <application>Evolution</application>, like most email
       programs, recognizes three types of addressee: primary
       recipients, secondary recipients, and hidden ("blind")
       recipients.
         </para>
         <para>
            The simplest way to direct a message is to put the email
            address or addresses in the <guilabel>To:</guilabel>
            field, which denotes primary recipients.  To send mail to
            more than one or two people, you can use the
            <guilabel>Cc:</guilabel> field.

          <para>
            Hearkening back to the dark ages when people used
            typewriters and there were no copy machines, "Cc" stands
            for "Carbon Copy."  Use it whenever you want to share a
            message you've written to someone else.
          </para>
          <para>
            <guilabel>Bcc:</guilabel> is a little more complex.  You
            use it like <guilabel>Cc:</guilabel>, but people on the
            <guilabel>Bcc:</guilabel> list are hidden from the other
            recipients of the message. Use it to send mail to large
            groups of people, especially if they don't know each other
            or if privacy is a concern.  If your <guilabel>Bcc:</guilabel> field is absent, click

            <title>What is a Mailing List?</title>
            <para>
              Mailing Lists are one of the most popular tools for
              group collaboration on the Internet. Here's how they work: 
              <simplelist>
                <member>
                  Someone sends a message to a single address, like
                  <email>evolution@ximian.com</email>.
                </member>
                <member>
                  That address belongs to a program that distributes
                  the message to a list of recipients.
                </member>
             </simplelist>
               The mail management program lets individuals subscribe
               to or unsubscribe from the list at will, without
               requiring the message writers to remember the addresses
               of every recipient.
            </para>
            <para>
              Mailing list servers can also let network administrators
              control mail flow, list membership, and even moderate
              the content of mailing lists.

          The post office forwards your mail for you when you change

          The email <guilabel>Forward</guilabel> button

          have received a message and you think someone else would

          to a new message (this is the default) or
          you can send it <glossterm linkend="inline">inline</glossterm> as a quoted
          portion of the message you are sending.  Attachment
          forwarding is best if you want to send the full, unaltered
          message on to someone else.  Inline forwarding is best if
          you want to send portions of a message, or if you have a
          large number of comments on different sections of the

      <title>Public Key?  Private Key?  What is the difference?</title>
      <para>
        GPG uses two keys: public and private.  You can give your
        public key to anyone you want to receive
        encrypted messages, or put it on a public key server so
        that people can look it up before contacting you.
        <emphasis>Never give your private key to anyone,
        ever</emphasis>.  Your private key lets you decrypt any
        message encrypted with your public key.
      </para>
    </note>

      <para>
        Using encryption takes a bit of forethought.  When you send a
        message that is encrypted, you must encrypt it using your
        intended recipient's public key.  To <emphasis>get</emphasis>
        an encrypted message, you must make sure that the sender has
        your public key in advance. For signing messages, it's
        reversed: you encrypt the signature with your private key, so
        only your public key can unlock it. When you send it, the
        recipient gets your public key and unlocks the signature,
        verifying your identity.
      </para>

      <para>
    You can use encryption in two different ways:
        <simplelist>
          <member>
             Encrypt the entire message, so that nobody but the recipient can read it.
          </member>
          <member>
            Attach an encrypted signature to a plain text message, so
            that the recipient can read the message without decrypting
            it, and only needs decryption to verify the sender's
            identity.

             Next, enter your passphrase. It does not have to be the
             same as your email password or your login password. In
             fact, it probably shouldn't. Don't forget it. If you lose
             it, your keys will be useless and you will be unable to
             decrypt messages sent to you with those keys.

             Now, GPG will generate your keys.  This may take awhile,
             so feel free to do something else while it's
             happening. In fact, using your computer for something
             else actually helps to generate better keys, because it
             increases the randomness in the key generation seeds.

    Once the keys are generated, you can view your key information
        by typing <command>gpg --list-keys</command>.  You should see
        something similar to this:
        <programlisting>
        /home/you/.gnupg/pubring.gpg
        ----------------------------
        pub 1024D/32j38dk2 2001-06-20 you &lt;you@your-address.com&gt;
        sub 1024g/289sklj3 2001-06-20 [expires: 2002-11-14]
    </programlisting>
      </para>
      <para>
         GPG will create one list, or keyring, for your public keys
         and one for your private keys. All the public keys you know
         are stored in the file
         <filename>~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg</filename>. If you want to
         give other people your key, send them that file.
      </para>
      <para>
          If you wish, you can upload your keys to a keyserver. Here's
          how:
        <orderedlist>
      <listitem>
        <para>
              Check your public key ID with <command>gpg
--list-keys</command>. It will be the string after 1024D on the line
beginning with "pub." In this example, it's 32j38dk2.
            </para>
      </listitem>
      <listitem>
        <para>
         Enter the command <command>gpg --send-keys --keyserver
wwwkeys.pgp.net 32j38dk2</command>.  Substitute your key ID for
32j38dk2. You will need your password to do this.

        Keyservers store your public keys for you so that your
        friends can decrypt your messages.  If you choose not to
        use a keyserver, you can manually send your people public
        key, include it in your signature file, or put it on your
        own web page. However, it's easier to publish them once,
        and then let people download them from the keyserver when
        they want.
      </para>
          <para>
             If you don't have a key you need to unlock or encrypt a
             message, you can have your encryption tool set to look it
             up automatically. If it can't find the key, then you'll
             get an error message.
