+        One of <application>Evolution</application>'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
+        <interface>shortcut bar</interface>, that column of buttons on
+        the left hand side of the main window.  There are actually two
+        kinds of buttons in the shortcut bar: familiar looking icons,
+        and the thin rectangles at the top and bottom of the column
+        which separate your shortcuts by category.

+       <application>Evolution</application>, you are lookig at the
+       <guilabel>Evolution Shortcuts</guilabel>.  If you click
+       <guilabel>Internet Directories</guilabel>, it will slide up and
+       you'll see buttons for the <guilabel>Bigfoot</guilabel> and

+       others you or your system administrator might have added.

+      Moving and deleting folders and other items works in one of
+      two ways: using <glossterm>drag-and-drop</glossterm> or by
+      right-clicking and selecting an item from the
+      <interface>right-click menu</interface>.  You can drag the
+      folders inside the folder view to change their order or put
+      one folder inside another.  To delete a folder, drag it into
+      the trash folder or right-click it and select
+      <guimenuitem>Delete</guimenuitem> from the menu that pops
+      up.  The same goes for individual messages, appointments,
+      and address cards, whether they're in the <interface>folder
+      view</interface> or not: drag them where you want them, and
+      they will go there.  <!-- ****This paragraph could use some

+      The <interface>menu bar</interface>'s contents will always
+      provide all the possible actions for any view of your data.
+      That means that, depending on the context, menu bar items will
+      change.  If you're looking at your Inbox, most of the menu items
+      will relate to mail; some will relate to other components of
+      <application>Evolution</application> and some, especially those
+      in the <guimenu>File Menu</guimenu> will relate to the
+      application as a whole. You can probably guess that the
+      <guimenu>Help Menu</guimenu> is where to go for help, and that
+      the <guimenu>View</guimenu> menu controls the way that
+      <application>Evolution</application> looks.  Other menu items
+      are a little less obvious, and change a little more, so we'll
+      cover them later on as we discuss the things you can do with
+      <application>Evolution</application>.
