  <title>Getting Started</title>
  <para>Evolution&trade; makes the tasks of storing, organizing, and retrieving your personal information easy, so you can work and communicate more effectively with others. It&apos;s a highly evolved <link linkend="groupware">groupware</link> program, an integral part of the Internet-connected desktop.</para>
  <para>Evolution can help you work in a group by handling e-mail, address, and other contact information, and one or more calendars. It can do that on one or several computers, connected directly or over a network, for one person or for large groups.</para>
  <para>With Evolution, you can accomplish your most common daily tasks quickly. For example, it takes only one or two clicks to enter appointment or contact information sent to you by e-mail, or to send e-mail to a contact or appointment. People who get lots of e-mail will appreciate advanced features like <link linkend="vfolder">vFolders</link>, which let you save searches as though they were ordinary e-mail folders.</para>

    <title>The Shortcut Bar</title>
    <para>Evolution&apos;s most important job is to give you access to your information and help you use it quickly. One way it does that is through the shortcut bar, which is the column on the left side of the main window. The buttons, such as Mail and Contacts, are the shortcuts. Above them is a list of folders for the current Evolution tool.</para>
    <para>The folder list organizes your e-mail, calendars, contact lists, and task lists in a tree, similar to a <link linkend="filetree">file tree</link>. Most people will find one to four folders at the base of the tree, depending on the tool and their system configuration. Each Evolution tool has at least one, called On This Computer, for local information. For example, the folder list for the e-mail tool shows any remote e-mail storage you have set up, plus local folders and vFolders, or virtual folders, which are discussed in <link linkend="usage-mail-organize-vfolders">Using vFolders</link>. </para>
    <para>If you get large amounts of e-mail, you might want more folders than just your Inbox. You can create multiple calendar, task, or contacts folders. </para>

    <title>E-Mail</title>
    <para>Evolution e-mail is like other e-mail programs in several ways:</para>
    <itemizedlist>
     <listitem>
      <para>It can send and receive e-mail in HTML or as plain text, and makes it easy to send and receive multiple file attachments. </para>
     </listitem>
     <listitem>

    <para>However, Evolution has some important differences from other e-mail programs. First, it&apos;s built to handle very large amounts of e-mail. The <link linkend="usage-mail-organize-spam">junk e-mail</link>, message <link linkend="usage-mail-organize-filters">filtering</link> and <link linkend="usage-mail-organize-search">searching</link> functions were built for speed and efficiency. There&apos;s also the <link linkend="usage-mail-organize-vfolders">vFolder</link>, an advanced organizational feature not found in some e-mail clients. If you get a lot of e-mail, or if you keep every message you get in case you need to refer to it later, you&apos;ll find this feature especially useful. Here&apos;s a quick explanation of what&apos;s happening in your main Evolution e-mail window. </para>

    <title>The Calendar</title>
    <para>To begin using the calendar, click Calendar in the shortcut bar. By default, the calendar shows today&apos;s schedule on a ruled background. At the upper right, there&apos;s a monthly calendar you can use to switch days. Below that, there&rsquo;s a Task list, where you can keep a list of tasks separate from your calendar appointments.</para>

    <title>The Contacts Tool</title>
    <para>The Evolution contacts tool can handle all of the functions of an address book or phone book. However, it&rsquo;s easier to update Evolution than it is to change an actual paper book, in part because Evolution can synchronize with Palm OS&z-3rdParty; devices and use <link linkend="ldap">LDAP</link> directories on a network.</para>
    <para>Another advantage of the Evolution contacts tool is its integration with the rest of the application. For example, you can right-click on an e-mail address in Evolution mail to instantly create a contact entry.</para>
    <para>To use the contacts tool, click Contacts in the shortcut bar. By default, the display shows all your contacts in alphabetical order, in a minicard view. You can select other views from the View menu, and adjust the width of the columns by clicking and dragging the gray column dividers.</para>
    <para>The contacts tool looks like this:</para>

   <title>Reading Mail</title>
   <para>If you are not already viewing mail, switch to the mail tool by clicking the Mail shortcut button, or press Ctrl+F1. To read a message, select it in the message list; if you&apos;d like to see it in its own window, either double-click it, press Enter, or press Ctrl+O.</para>
   <tip>
    <para>To read mail with the keyboard, you can click the Spacebar to page down while you&rsquo;re reading an e-mail, and press Backspace to page up in an e-mail. </para>
    <para>Navigate the message list by using the arrow keys on the keyboard. To go to the next and previous unread messages, press the period (.) or comma (,) keys. On most keyboards, these keys are also marked with the &gt; and &lt; symbols, which is a convenient way to remember that they move you forward and backward in your message list. You can also use the close square bracket (]) for the next unread message, and the open square bracket ([) for the previous unread message.</para>
   </tip>

   <section id="usage-mail-listorder">
    <title>Sorting the Message List</title>
    <para>Evolution helps you work by letting you sort your e-mail. 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. Click again, to sort them in reverse order. For example, click Date to sort messages by date from oldest to newest. Click again, and Evolution sorts the list from newest to oldest. You can also right-click the message header bars to get a set of sorting options, and to add or remove columns from the message list. You can find detailed instructions on how to customize your message display columns in <link linkend="usage-mail-organize-columns">Sorting Mail with Column Headers</link>.</para>

    <para>You can also choose a threaded message view. Click View &gt; Threaded Message List to turn the threaded view on or off. When you select this option, Evolution groups the replies to a message with the original, so you can follow the thread of a conversation from one message to the next.</para>

   <section id="usage-mail-getnsend-delete">
    <title>Deleting Mail</title>
    <para>After you read your mail, you might want to delete it. To delete a message, select it and press the Delete key, click the Trash button, press Ctrl+D, or right-click the message, then click Delete. </para>
    <para>When you press Delete or click the Trash button, your mail isn&rsquo;t actually deleted, but is marked for deletion. Your e-mail is recoverable until you have expunged your mail. When you expunge a folder, you remove all the mail that you have marked for deletion. To show deleted messages, click View &gt; Hide Deleted Messages. You can also find deleted messages in the your Trash folder. </para>
    <para>To permanently erase all the deleted messages in a folder, click Actions &gt; Expunge or press Ctrl+E. To expunge all folders at once, click Actions &gt; Empty Trash.</para>
    <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 <link linkend="usage-mail-organize-vfolders">Using vFolders</link>. Because emptying your trash expunges the messages in your Trash folder, emptying Trash is the same as expunging deleted mail from all your folders.</para>
    <para>However, this is not true for the Trash folder on Exchange servers, which behaves just the same as it does in Outlook. It is a normal folder with actual messages in it.</para>

For information on creating mail accounts, see <link linkend="usage-mainwindow-starting">Starting Evolution for the First Time</link>.</para>
   <para>If this is your first time checking mail, or you haven&apos;t asked Evolution to store your password, you are prompted for the password. Enter your password to download your e-mail.</para>

     <title>Inline Images in HTML Mail</title>
     <para>When someone sends you HTML mail that includes an image in the body of the message (for example, the welcome message in your Inbox), Evolution displays the image inside the message. You can create messages like this by using the Insert Image tool in the message composer. Alternately, just drag an image into the message composition area.</para>
     <para>Some images are links in a message, rather than being part of the message. Evolution can download those images from the Internet, but does not do so unless you request it specifically.

    <title>Unicode, ASCII, and Non-Latin Alphabets</title>
    <para>If you want to write in a non-Latin alphabet while using a Latin keyboard, try selecting a different input method in the message composer. Right-click in the message composition area and select an input method from the Input Methods menu, then begin typing. The actual keys vary by language and input style. For example, the Cyrillic input method uses transliterated Latin keyboard combinations to get the Cyrillic alphabet, combining letters where necessary. &ldquo;Zh&rdquo; and &ldquo;ya&rdquo; produce the appropriate single Cyrillic letters, and the single-quote (&lsquo;) produces a soft-sign character.</para>
    <para>For greater language display capabilities, click Tools &gt; Settings, then select the character set choices in the Mail Preferences and Composer Preferences sections. If you aren&apos;t sure which one to use, select UTF-8, which offers the greatest range of character displays for the greatest range of languages.</para>

    <section id="bsfnqkj">
     <title>Using Character Sets</title>
     <para>A character set is a computer&apos;s version of an alphabet. In the past, the ASCII character set was used almost universally. However, it contains only 128 characters, meaning it is unable to display characters in Cyrillic, Kanjii, or other non-Latin alphabets. To work around language display problems, programmers developed a variety of methods, so many human languages now have their own specific character sets, and items written in other character sets display incorrectly. Eventually, standards organizations developed the UTF-8 Unicode&z-3rdParty; character set to provide a single compatible set of codes for everyone.</para>
     <para>Most e-mail messages state in advance which character set they use, so Evolution usually knows what to display for a given binary number. However, if you find that messages are displayed as rows of incomprehensible characters, try selecting a different character set in the mail settings screen. If your recipients can&apos;t read your messages, try selecting a different character set in the composer options dialog box. For some languages, such as Turkish or Korean, it might work best for you to select the language-specific character set. However, the best choice for most users is UTF-8, which offers the widest range of characters for the widest range of languages.</para>

    <title>Specifying Additional Recipients for E-Mail</title>
    <para>Evolution, like most e-mail programs, recognizes three types of addressee: primary recipients, secondary recipients, and hidden (blind) recipients. The simplest way to direct a message is to put the e-mail address or addresses in the To: field, which denotes primary recipients. Use the Cc: field to send a message to secondary recipients.</para>
    <para>Addresses on the Bcc: list are hidden from the other recipients of the message. You can use it to send mail to large groups of people, especially if they don&rsquo;t know each other or if privacy is a concern. If your Bcc: field is absent, click View &gt; Bcc Field. </para>
    <para>If you frequently write e-mail to the same groups of people, you can create address lists in the contacts tool, and then send them mail as though they have a single address. To learn how to do that, see <link linkend="usage-contact-organize-group-list">Creating a List of Contacts</link>.</para>
    <para>Evolution has the ability to let you specify the Reply-To in an e-mail. Using this, you can set up a special Reply-To for an e-mail. To do this:</para>

The To: and Subject: fields are already filled, although you can alter them if you prefer.

    <para>If you&apos;re reading a message with several recipients, you can use Reply to All instead of Reply. If there are large numbers of people in the Cc: or To: fields, this can save substantial amounts of time.</para>

    </listitem>
    <listitem>
     <para>S/MIME Encryption</para>
    </listitem>
   </itemizedlist>
   <para>Evolution helps you protect your privacy by using GNU Privacy Guard (GPG), an implementation of strong <link linkend="public-key-encryption">Public Key Encryption.</link></para>
   <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. Your private key lets you decrypt any message encrypted with your public key. Never give your private key to anyone. </para>
   <para>Using encryption takes a bit of forethought. When you send a message that is encrypted, you must encrypt it using your intended recipient&apos;s public key. To receive an encrypted message, you must make sure that the sender has your public key in advance. For signing messages, you encrypt the signature with your private key, so only your public key can unlock it. When you send the message, the recipient gets your public key and unlocks the signature, verifying your identity.</para>
   <para>Evolution does not support older versions of PGP, such as OpenPGP and Inline PGP.</para>
   <para>You can use encryption in two different ways:</para>
   <itemizedlist>
    <listitem>
     <para>You can encrypt the entire message, so that nobody but the recipient can read it.</para>
    </listitem>
    <listitem>
     <para>You can attach an encrypted signature to a plain text message, so that the recipient can read the message without decrypting it, and needs decrypting only to verify the sender&rsquo;s identity.</para>
    </listitem>
   </itemizedlist>
   <para>For example, suppose that Kevin wants to send an encrypted message to his friend Rachel. He looks up her public key on a general key server, and then tells Evolution to encrypt the message. The message now reads &ldquo;@#$23ui7yr87#@!48970fsd.&rdquo; When the information gets to Rachel, she decrypts it using her private key, and it appears as plain text for her to read.</para>

    <title>S/MIME Encryption</title>
    <para>S/MIME encryption also uses a key-based approach, but it has some significant advantages in convenience and security. S/MIME uses certificates, which are similar to keys. The public portion of each certificate is held by the sender of a message and by one of several certificate authorities, who are paid to guarantee the identity of the sender and the security of the message. Evolution already recognizes a large number of certificate authorities, so when you get a message with an S/MIME certificate, your system automatically receives the public portion of the certificate and decrypts or verifies the message.</para>
    <para>S/MIME is used most often in corporate settings. In these cases, administrators supply certificates that they have purchased from a certificate authority. In some cases, an organization can act as its own certificate authority, with or without a guarantee from a dedicated authority such as Verisign or Thawte&z-3rdParty;. In either case, the system administrator provides you with a certificate file.</para>
    <para>If you want to use S/MIME independently, you can extract an identification certificate from your Mozilla or Netscape Web browser. See the Mozilla help for more information on security certificates.</para>
    <para>The certificate file is a password-protected file on your computer. To use it in Evolution:</para>

  <section id="usage-mail-organize-vfolders">
   <title>Using vFolders</title>
   <para>If filters aren&apos;t flexible enough, 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 e-mail messages within Evolution. If you get a lot of mail or often forget where you put messages, vFolders can help you keep things organized.</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, a conventional folder actually contains messages, but a vFolder is a view of messages that might 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, Evolution automatically adjusts the vFolder contents. When you delete a message, it is erased from the folder in which it actually exists, as well as any vFolders that display it.</para>
   <para>The Unmatched vFolder is the opposite of other vFolders: it displays all messages that do not appear in other vFolders.</para>
   <para>If you use remote e-mail storage like IMAP or Microsoft Exchange, and have created vFolders to search through them, the Unmatched vFolder also searches the remote folders. If you do not create any vFolders that search remote mail stores, the Unmatched vFolder does not search in them either.</para>
   <para>As an example of using folders, searches, and vFolders, consider the following: To organize his mailbox, Jim sets up a virtual folder for e-mail from his friend and co-worker Anna. He has another vFolder for messages that have novell.com in the address and Evolution in the subject line, so he can keep a record of what people from work send him about Evolution. If Anna sends him a message about anything other than Evolution, it only shows up in the &ldquo;Anna&rdquo; vFolder. When Anna sends him mail about the user interface for Evolution, he can see the message both in the &ldquo;Anna&rdquo; vFolder and in the &ldquo;Internal Evolution Discussion&rdquo; vFolder. </para>

   <para>Contacts are the individuals you have chosen to add to your address book so you can keep track of information about them and send e-mail to them. In Evolution, an individual contact is called a card.</para>

   <section id="usage-contact-cards">
    <title>The Contact Editor</title>
    <para>If you want to add or change cards, you use the contact editor. To change a card that already exists, double-click it to open the contact editor window. If you want to create a new card, click the New button in the toolbar to open the same window, with blank entry boxes for you to fill in.</para>
    <mediaobject id="usage-contact-editor-fig"><imageobject><imagedata format="PNG" fileref="figures/evo_contacteditor_a.png"/></imageobject></mediaobject>

     <title>Mailing Address: </title>
     <para>Contains the individual&apos;s mailing address. </para>
    </formalpara>
    <para>You can also use Actions menu to find Forward Contact, which opens a new message with the card already attached, and Send Message to Contact, which opens a new message to the contact&apos;s e-mail address.</para>
    <para>From the Contact Editor toolbar, you can save and close, print, close, or delete the contact.</para>
    <para>You can add cards from within an e-mail message or calendar appointment. In an open e-mail, right-click any e-mail address or message, and click Create Card for this Address or Create Card for this Sender from the menu.</para>
    <para>Most of the items in the contact editor simply display the information you enter, but some of them have additional features:</para>
    <formalpara id="bsb02hn">
     <title>Full Name: </title>
     <para>Specify the name of your contact here. You can type a name into the Full Name field, but you can also click the Full Name button to bring up a small dialog box with text boxes for first and last names, titles like &ldquo;Mr.&rdquo; or &ldquo;Her Excellency,&rdquo; and suffixes like &ldquo;Jr.&rdquo; The Full Name field also interacts with the File Under box to help you organize your contacts and to handle multi-word surnames.To see how it works, type a name in the Full Name field. As an example, we&rsquo;ll use Miguel de Icaza. You&rsquo;ll notice that the File Under field also fills in, but in reverse: Icaza, Miguel de. If you had entered John Q. Doe, the contacts editor would have correctly guessed that the entry should be filed under &ldquo;Doe, John Q.&rdquo; However, Miguel&rsquo;s surname, &ldquo;de Icaza&rdquo;, has two words, and to sort it correctly you must enter de Icaza, Miguel in the File As entry.</para>

    <title>Contacts Groups</title>
    <para>The simplest way to organize contacts is to create additional groups of contacts. You can create a new one by clicking File &gt; New &gt; Contacts Group. For contacts groups on your computer, you only need to provide a name. For contacts on the network, you need to provide more information about the contacts server you are trying to access. </para>
    <para>To move a card from one group to another, just drag it from the main display of contacts. You cannot change the contents of most network contact groups. </para>
    <note>
     <para>Contacts groups are not the same as contact lists. A contact group is like a folder or address book full of contacts. A contact list is a single contact that contains other contacts, and is most often used to e-mail several people at once.</para>

    <title>Creating a List of Contacts</title>
    <para>A contact list is a set of contacts with a single nickname that you create. When you send e-mail to the nickname, it is sent to every member of the list.

    <para>For example, you could create one card for each family member, then add those cards to a contact list called &ldquo;Family&rdquo;.

If it is a remote calendar, enter the name, color, URL, and a refresh frequency. The refresh frequency determines how often Evolution checks to see if the calendar has changed. If you are working with someone who publishes an online calendar, you might want to check for updates every thirty minutes. On the other hand, if you have displayed a sports team schedule in your calendar, you might not need to refresh it more than once a week.</para>

For example, if you live in New York but have a telephone meeting set for noon with someone in California, you need to make sure that you&apos;re not calling each other at a bad time. Setting time zones on a per-appointment basis helps avoid that potential confusion.</para>

Use the regular Mail tool for mail, the Contacts tool for contacts, and the Calendar tool for your schedule.</para>
   <para>If you are using both an Exchange account and a local mail account, you should be aware that whenever you save an e-mail address or appointment from an e-mail message, it is saved in your Exchange contacts list or calendar, rather than in your local account. The same is true of synchronization with Palm OS devices; tasks, appointments, and addresses from your Palm OS device are synchronized with those in the Exchange folders rather than local folders. </para>
   <para>To avoid unnecessary strain on the server, the Global Address List (GAL) appears empty until you have searched for something in it. If you want to display all the cards in the list, click in the search box and press Enter. This enters a blank search, and every card appears.</para>

  <para>There are six items you can customize. From top to bottom, they are:</para>
  <bridgehead id="bt4ckfo">Mail Accounts</bridgehead>
  <para>Add or change information about your e-mail accounts, such as the servers to which you connect, the way you download mail, and your password authentication mode. This is the most complex item in the list, and is covered in <link linkend="config-prefs-mail-identity">Working with Mail Accounts</link>.</para>
  <bridgehead id="bt4ckfp">Autocompletion</bridgehead>
  <para>Set the contact groups to be used when completing e-mail addresses in the message composer. For more information, see <link linkend="bshoq5l">Autocompletion</link>.</para>
  <bridgehead id="bt4ckfq">Mail Preferences</bridgehead>
  <para>These are overall mail reading preferences, such as display settings, notification options, and security. Settings that vary per account are in the Mail Accounts tool, described in <link linkend="config-prefs-mail-identity">Working with Mail Accounts</link>, but most of the mail settings are in <link linkend="config-prefs-mail">Mail Preferences</link>.</para>
  <bridgehead id="bt4ckfr">Composer Preferences</bridgehead>
  <para>These are settings for the way that you use the mail composer, such as shortcuts, signatures, and spelling. This includes the ability to substitute graphical smiley-faces for &ldquo;emoticons&rdquo; such as : ) that many people use in e-mail. This tool is covered in <link linkend="config-prefs-mail-composer">Composer Preferences</link>.</para>
  <bridgehead id="bt4ckfs">Calendar and Tasks</bridgehead>
  <para>Here, you can set the way the calendar behaves, including your time zone and the length of your work week. For more information, see <link linkend="config-prefs-cal">Calendar and Tasks Settings</link>. </para>
  <bridgehead id="bt4ckft">Certificates</bridgehead>
  <para>Information for certificate handling for S/MIME security systems. For more information, see <link linkend="bshoty0">Certificates</link>.</para>
  <para>Previous versions of Evolution included directory servers, folder settings, and Exchange delegation in the settings tool. Directory servers can now be set up as contacts groups in the Contacts tool, you can change folder settings in the folder right-click menu, and Exchange delegation is available in the Actions menu of the Exchange tool. </para>

   <para>If you haven&rsquo;t used a handheld device with your computer before, you need to run the GNOME Control Center by clicking System &gt; Settings, and make sure that Pilot Link is properly configured. Make sure that you have read and write permissions on the device, which is normally n /dev/pilot. If that does not work, check in /dev/ttyS0 if you have a serial connection, or in /dev/ttyUSB0 for a USB connection. You can do this by becoming root and running the command chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB0.</para>
