links to conf.

2002-05-30  Aaron Weber  <aaron@ximian.com>

	* C/usage-mail.sgml: links to conf.

	* C/usage-mainwindow.sgml: updated for links to configuration.

	* C/preface.sgml: added "What's new?" section with a few entries.

	* C/evolution.sgml: Minor stylistic tweaks, updated version
	numbers.

	* C/Makefile.am: Removed evolution-faq.sgml and usage-notes.sgml,
	and cvs removed them. These files are vestiges of the distant
	past.

-	<question>
-	  <para>
-	   How can I use Evolution with Microsoft Exchange or Lotus Notes?
-	  </para>
-	</question>
-	<answer>
-	  <para>
-             If your server uses standard open protocols like IMAP,
-             LDAP, POP, and SMTP, you can use Evolution with it.  You
-             can share addresses with vCards and calendar items with
-             iCal appointments.

-	<question>
-	  <para>
-	     Can I use Evolution with KDE?
-	  </para>
-	</question>
-	<answer>
-	  <para>
-             Evolution will work fine in KDE.  You will need to
-             install all of the GNOME libraries that it depends on.
-             Also, certain configuration options, such as default
-             fonts and the message editor keybinding behavior, must be
-             changed using the GNOME Control Center application (this
-             will also run from within KDE).

-	<question>
-	  <para>
-	    Can Evolution sync with my Palm OS (tm) device?
-	  </para>
-	</question>
-	<answer>
-	  <para>
-	    Yes.  However, it is not yet stable enough for general
-	    release and we do not yet ship Evolution with Palm
-	    synchronization enabled default. Until we do, you will
-	    need to compile this in yourself. Check the
-	    <filename>README</filename> file for additional
-	    information on the requirements.  Full compatibility and
-	    synchronization for calendar and addressbook applications
-	    on Palm devices will be implemented and shipped soon.

-	<question>
-	  <para>
-	    What is the difference between a virtual folder (vfolder)
-	    and a regular folder?
-	  </para>
-	</question>
-	<answer>
-	  <para>
-	    A virtual folder is like a saved search: it is a view of
-	    your mail. Regular folders actually contain the mail
-	    messages.  You can have one message be in multiple virtual
-	    folders, but only in one regular folder.  See the section
-	    in the Evolution manual about virtual folders for more
-	    information.

-	<question>
-	  <para>
-	    Can Evolution spell-check messages while I compose them?
-	  </para>
-	</question>
-	<answer>
-	  <para>
-	    Yes. The Evolution composer is able to highlight
-	    mis-spelled word on the fly as you type them, and also
-	    give you suggestions for possible corrections.  In order
-	    for this to work you need the
-	    <filename>gnome-spell</filename> component, which is not
-	    shipped with Ximian GNOME yet.
- 	 </para>
-
-	  <para>
-	    If you are brave enough, you can check out module
-	    <filename>gnome-spell</filename> from the GNOME CVS and
-	    compile it yourself.  Check out its README file for a list
-	    of <filename>gnome-spell</filename>'s requirements for
-	    compilation.
-	  </para>
-
-	  <para>
-	    Note that you don't need to recompile Evolution after
-	    installing <filename>gnome-spell</filename>; it will be
-	    picked up automatically.

-	<question>
-	  <para>
-	    Why can't I see the images that are contained in some HTML
-	    mail messages.
-	  </para>
-	</question>
-	<answer>
-	  <para>
-  	    Evolution currently doesn't support this, but it's a
-	    planned feature.  It will be an option: many people like
-	    to turn off the images because they use up bandwidth and can
-            be used to spy on your email reading habits.

-	    Can I change the font that Evolution uses to compose and

-	</question>
-	<answer>
-	  <para>
-	    You have to change the GtkHTML settings for that: in the
-	    GNOME Control Center, go to the "HTML Viewer"
-	    configuration page, which is under the "Document Handlers"

-	  <para>
-            How do I import my Outlook <filename>.pst</filename> files into Evolution?
-         </para>
-	</question>
-	<answer>
-	  <para>
-            You cannot import these files directly into Evolution
-            because the <filename>.pst</filename> format is a
-            proprietary format. However, Mozilla Mail on Windows can
-            convert them into the <type>mbox</type> format, which can
-            then be imported by Evolution.
-          </para>
-      
-	  <para>
-            To start importing your Outlook mail to Evolution, run
-            Mozilla Mail on Windows and select the
-            <menuchoice><guimenu>File</guimenu><guimenuitem>Import...</guimenuitem></menuchoice>
-            to begin. Then select that you wish to import Mail from
-            Outlook. Once Mozilla has imported all your mail, reboot
-            your computer into Linux.
-          </para>
-      
-          <para>
-            Mount your Windows partition in Linux and run Evolution to
-            begin importing your mail. Select
-            <menuchoice><guimenu>File</guimenu><guimenuitem>Import
-            File...</guimenuitem></menuchoice> to start importing. Set
-            the file type to MBox (mbox) and click on
-            <guibutton>Browse</guibutton> to select the mail you want
-            to import.
-          </para>
-      
-          <para>
-            If you are the only user on Windows, the mail files will
-            be stored in <filename>/mnt/c/windows/Application
-            Data/Mozilla/Profiles/default/XXXX/Mail/imported.mail/</filename>
-            where <filename>/mnt/c/</filename> is your windows
-            partition mount point and XXXX is some collection of
-            numbers and digits ending in <filename>.slt</filename>.
-          </para>
-	  
-	  <para>
-            If there is more than one user, the file will be in
-            <filename>/mnt/c/windows/Profiles/USERNAME/XXXX/Mail/imported.mail/</filename>
-            where USERNAME is your Windows username.
-         </para>
-
-	  <para>
-            For each mail folder in Outlook, Mozilla will convert the
-            folder into one mbox file. To import all your mail, import
-            all the files without a <filename>.msf</filename>
-            extension.

-        <answer>
-          <para>
-            Mozilla on Windows accesses the <filename>.pst</filename>
-            files through the <filename>MAPI.DLL</filename>, which is
-            only available on Windows.  <filename>MAPI.DLL</filename>
-            is the only way to access <filename>.pst</filename> files
-            and Evolution cannot use this DLL in Linux.

-          <para>
-            Of course, we can't comment on unannounced future product
-            plans, but Evolution's architecture would permit the
-            existence of that kind of software. If there is enough
-            demand for such software we will consider moving in that
-            direction.

-        </question>
-        <answer>
-          <para>
-            If you already have
-            <ulink url="http://cvs.gnome.org">GNOME CVS</ulink> access,
-            simply check out the following modules: evolution,
-            gtkhtml, gal.
-          </para>
-          <para>
-            If you don't have a CVS account, you can use anoncvs
-            instead. Bear in mind that anoncvs is only synchronized once
-            a day, and code received from anoncvs may not be latest
-            version available.
-          </para>
-
-          <para>
-            Before using the anoncvs server, you have to log into it.
-            This only needs to be done once. Use this command:
-          </para>
-
-          <programlisting>
-            cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.gnome.org:/cvs/gnome login
-          </programlisting>
-
-          <para>
-            Then you can retrieve the modules needed to compile Evolution
-            using the following command:

-
-          <programlisting>
-            cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.gnome.org:/cvs/gnome co evolution gtkhtml gal

-        <question>
-          <para>
-            How should I compile Evolution avoiding conflicts with my
-            existing GNOME installation?
-          </para>
-        </question>
-        <answer>
-          <para>
-            The best way is to install Evolution into a separate prefix.
-            In order to specify a non-default installation prefix, you
-            can pass the <parameter>--prefix</parameter> option to
-            <filename>configure</filename> or
-            <filename>autogen.sh</filename>.  For example:
-          </para>
-
-          <programlisting>
-            cd /cvs/evolution
-            ./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/gnome
-          </programlisting>
-
-          <para>
-            If you install Evolution and the Evolution libraries in a
-            non-standard prefix, make sure you set the appropriate
-            environment variables in the startup script for Evolution:
-          </para>
-
-          <programlisting>
-            export PATH=/opt/gnome:$PATH
-            export GNOME_PATH=/opt/gnome:/usr
-          </programlisting>
-
-          <para>
-            You may also need to add <filename>$prefix/lib</filename>
-            (e.g. <filename>/opt/gnome/lib</filename>) to your
-            <filename>/etc/ld.so.conf</filename>.  Of course, this will
-            not work for systems which do not use ld.so.conf, such as
-            HP-UX.

-            Evolution uses the <filename>libdb</filename> library to
-            handle the addressbook database.  Two versions of
-            <filename>libdb</filename> can be used with Evolution: version
-            1.88 and version 2.
-          </para>
-
-          <para>
-            Unfortunately, an Evolution executable that is linked against
-            a certain version of <filename>libdb</filename> will only be
-            able to read addressbook files written by another Evolution
-            executable that is linked with the same version of the
-            library.  If your addressbook is not readable by Evolution
-            anymore, it probably means that you used to have Evolution
-            linked with a certain version of <filename>libdb</filename>,
-            but now it gets linked to a different version.
-          </para>
-
-          <para>
-            Because of the way <filename>libdb</filename> is designed, it
-            is not easy for Evolution to automatically do the conversion
-            between the two formats.  But, if your Evolution used to be
-            linked against version 1.85 and now is linked to version 2,
-            there is a very simple way to convert the database and recover
-            your data.

-            This usually happens when a component tries talking a
-            certain version of a CORBA interface to another component
-            that supports a different version.  For example, this can
-            happen when you recompile and install a single component
-            without recompiling/installing the rest of Evolution.

-            If you run into this problem, make sure all the components

-            installing a newer GtkHTML, always re-compile and
-            re-install Evolution against it.

-            Evolution is actually made up of several components that run

-            sometimes already-running components cause unexpected and/or
-            broken behavior.

-             What is a stack trace (backtrace) and how do I get one?
-           </para>
-        </question>
-        <answer>
-          <para>
-              A stack trace is a list of the chain of function calls
-              that lead to some point in the program. Typically, you
-              want to get a stack trace when Evolution crashes or
-              hangs and you want to try to figure out where in the
-              code that happened and why. For this reason, stack
-              traces are extremely useful for the Evolution
-              developers, so it's important that you learn how to get
-              them, and include them in crash reports. The
-              <application>bug-buddy</application> tool can get and
-              submit a stack trace for you.  If you want to do it by
-              yourself, here's how:
-          </para>
-          <para>
-             First of all, in order to get a stack trace, your
-             executable (and possibly the libraries) must be compiled
-             with debugging symbols. Debugging symbols are created by
-             default if you compile from CVS, and are included in the
-             snapshot builds. If you decide to compile by yourself
-             with some custom CFLAGS value, make sure -g is included
-             in them.
-          </para>
-          <para>
-            Finally, you must put the component that crashes through
-            <application>gdb</application>, the GNU debugging tool.
-            To do so, make sure all the components are dead (exit
-            Evolution and run <command>killev</command>), then run the
-            following command:
-               <programlisting>
-                   <command>gdb name-of-component</command>
-                </programlisting>
-           
-           Where "name-of-component" is the name of the component that
-           crashed.
-           </para>
-           <para>
-             Then, at the gdb prompt, type r (for "run") and wait a
-             few seconds to make sure the component has registered
-             with the name service. Then start
-             <application>Evolution</application> normally from a
-             different terminal.
-           </para>
-           <para>
-             When you have started
-             <application>Evolution</application>, reproduce the
-             crash, and go back to the terminal where you ran gdb. If
-             the component crashed, you should have a prompt there;
-             otherwise, just hit Control+C. At the prompt, type
-             <command>info threads</command>.  This will give you a
-             screen that looks like this:
