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 Unicode character set UTF-8 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't read your messages, try selecting a different character set in the composer options dialog. For some languages, such as Turkish or Korean, it might work best for you to select the language-specific character set.

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'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>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 only needs decrypting to verify the sender’s identity.</para> - </listitem> - </itemizedlist> - <para>For example, suppose that Kevin wants to send an encrypted message to his friend Rachel.

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. 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.

Messages that are flagged as junk mail are displayed only in the Junk folder.</para> - <para>The junk mail filter can learn which kinds of mail are legitimate and which are not if you train it. When you first start using junk mail blocking, check the Junk folder to be sure that legitimate mail doesn't get flagged as junk mail. If good mail, also known as ham, is incorrectly flagged, remove it from the Junk folder by right-clicking it and selecting Mark as Not Junk. If Evolution misses junk mail, right-click the message, then click Mark as Junk. When you correct it, the filter will be able to recognize similar messages in the future, and will become more accurate as time goes on.</para> - <para>To change your junk mail filtering preferences, click Tools > Settings, then click Mail Preferences.

Their purpose is to bundle, sort, and distribute mail to the various folders.

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 example: To organize his mailbox, Jim sets up a virtual folder for e-mails 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 “Anna” vFolder. When Anna sends him mail about the user interface for Evolution, he can see the message both in the “Anna” vFolder and in the “Internal Evolution Discussion” vFolder. </para> - - <section id="vfolder-create"> - <title>Creating a vFolder</title> - <procedure> - <step id="bsazs7h"> - <para>Click Tools > Virtual Folder Editor.</para> - </step> - <step id="bsazsav"> - <para>Click Add.</para> - <informalfigure id="usage-mail-vfolder-fig-createrule"> - <mediaobject><imageobject><imagedata format="PNG" fileref="figures/evo_rule_a.png"/></imageobject></mediaobject> - - </informalfigure> - </step> - <step id="bsazsbo"> - <para>Type the name of the vFolder in the Rule Name field.</para> - </step> - <step id="bsazsjd"> - <para>Select your search criteria.
