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 - README 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. - - - - - - - What is the difference between a virtual folder (vfolder) - and a regular folder? - - - - - 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. - - - - - - - Can Evolution spell-check messages while I compose them? - - - - - 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 - gnome-spell component, which is not - shipped with Ximian GNOME yet. - - - - If you are brave enough, you can check out module - gnome-spell from the GNOME CVS and - compile it yourself. Check out its README file for a list - of gnome-spell's requirements for - compilation. - - - - Note that you don't need to recompile Evolution after - installing gnome-spell; it will be - picked up automatically. - - - - - - - - Why can't I see the images that are contained in some HTML - mail messages. - - - - - 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 - display mail messages? - - - - - 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" - category. - - - - - - - How do I import my Outlook .pst files into Evolution? - - - - - You cannot import these files directly into Evolution - because the .pst format is a - proprietary format. However, Mozilla Mail on Windows can - convert them into the mbox format, which can - then be imported by Evolution. - - - - To start importing your Outlook mail to Evolution, run - Mozilla Mail on Windows and select the - FileImport... - to begin. Then select that you wish to import Mail from - Outlook. Once Mozilla has imported all your mail, reboot - your computer into Linux. - - - - Mount your Windows partition in Linux and run Evolution to - begin importing your mail. Select - FileImport - File... to start importing. Set - the file type to MBox (mbox) and click on - Browse to select the mail you want - to import. - - - - If you are the only user on Windows, the mail files will - be stored in /mnt/c/windows/Application - Data/Mozilla/Profiles/default/XXXX/Mail/imported.mail/ - where /mnt/c/ is your windows - partition mount point and XXXX is some collection of - numbers and digits ending in .slt. - - - - If there is more than one user, the file will be in - /mnt/c/windows/Profiles/USERNAME/XXXX/Mail/imported.mail/ - where USERNAME is your Windows username. - - - - 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 .msf - extension. - - - - - - - - If Mozilla can import .pst files, why can't Evolution? - - - - - Mozilla on Windows accesses the .pst - files through the MAPI.DLL, which is - only available on Windows. MAPI.DLL - is the only way to access .pst files - and Evolution cannot use this DLL in Linux. - - - - - - - Will there be an Evolution server? How about a text-based or web-based front end? - - - - - 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. - - - - - - - - Will Evolution make a good mocha? - - - - - Only espresso is planned, but you can easily plug in a chocolate component. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Getting and Compiling Evolution - - - - - - Where can I get the latest Evolution release? - - - - - There are two ways to install the latest Evolution - release: - - - - If you have Ximian GNOME installed, you can start - Red Carpet, Ximian's software updating system, and - subscribe to the Evolution channel. This will let - you install a binary for the latest release, and - will also warn you when a new version has been made - available. - - - - - - If you want to compile from source, you can - download the latest official Evolution tarball - from: - - - - - ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/unstable/sources/evolution - - - - - - - - - - Are binary snapshots available? - - - - - Yes, if you have Ximian GNOME installed.

To avoid it, downgrade - to GTK version 1.2.9, or install the Ximian version of GTK - 1.2.10. - - - - - - - - I updated Evolution and now my addressbook information is gone! - What should I do? - - - - - Evolution uses the libdb library to - handle the addressbook database. Two versions of - libdb can be used with Evolution: version - 1.88 and version 2. - - - - Unfortunately, an Evolution executable that is linked against - a certain version of libdb 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 libdb, - but now it gets linked to a different version. - - - - Because of the way libdb 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. - - - - - - - First of all, check the format of the database using the - file command: - - - - file ~/evolution/local/Contacts/addressbook.db - - - - You want version 1.85 there. If your version is 2, then - your current Evolution is probably linked against - version 1.85 and you cannot convert the database to the - old format. To do that, follow these instructions: - - - - - - Quit Evolution. - - - - - - Make a copy of the addressbook database for backup - purposes, then move the original out of the way. - - - - cd ~/evolution/local/Contacts - cp addressbook.db addressbook.db.backup - mv addressbook.db addressbook.db.tmp - - - - - - Convert the contacts to the new format using - db_dump185 and - db_load: - - - - db_dump185 addressbook.db.tmp | db_load ~/evolution/local/Contacts/addressbook.db - - - - - - Restart Evolution. - - - - - - - - - - - Evolution reported an error when trying to retrieve from my - local spool in /var/spool/mail/username. Why? - - - - - Evolution doesn't have an external helper for moving mail, - so /var/spool/mail/ must be writable - by you. Try this: - - - - chmod 1777 /var/spool/mail - - - - We're working on a solution to this problem now. - - - - - - - - Evolution crashes reporting that it couldn't allocate N - billion bytes; how do I fix this? - - - - - 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 - are compiled and installed at the same time. This also - applies to GtkHTML upgrades; after upgrading and - installing a newer GtkHTML, always re-compile and - re-install Evolution against it. - - - - - - - - What is killev and why do I need to use it? - - - - - Evolution is actually made up of several components that run - as separate processes. Evolution's shell is not very good - at cleaning up stale processes, so it is possible that - sometimes already-running components cause unexpected and/or - broken behavior. - - - - It's always a good idea to run killev - after a crash in Evolution, especially if the Evolution - shell itself crashed. (If a component crashes instead, you - should try to exit the shell cleanly first, so you give a - chance to the other components to clean things up properly.) - - - - - - - - What is oaf-slay and why do I need to use it? - - - - - oaf-slay is an utility which comes with - OAF, the Object Activation Framework that is used in the - GNOME Desktop to activate components. It will kill the - object activation daemon (oafd) as well - as all the active components on the system. - - - - Using oaf-slay - oaf-slay is quite drastic and can cause - problems with other programs that use oaf, especially with - Nautilus. To avoid problems, do - not run oaf-slay while you are in GNOME. - - - - - - - - Questions about Bugs and Debugging - - Find a bug? Here's how to help us fix it! - - - - - - - Where should I report bugs for Evolution? - - - - - You can use the GNOME Bug Report Tool - (bug-buddy), or report bugs to the - Ximian bug reporting system (Bugzilla), located at http://bugzilla.ximian.com. - - - - Please use the query function to check if a bug has been - submitted already, so that we avoid duplicate reports. - - - - - - - - - What is a stack trace (backtrace) and how do I get one? - - - - - 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 - bug-buddy tool can get and - submit a stack trace for you. If you want to do it by - yourself, here's how: - - - 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. - - - Finally, you must put the component that crashes through - gdb, the GNU debugging tool. - To do so, make sure all the components are dead (exit - Evolution and run killev), then run the - following command: - - gdb name-of-component - - - Where "name-of-component" is the name of the component that - crashed. - - - 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 - Evolution normally from a - different terminal. - - - When you have started - Evolution, 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 - info threads. This will give you a - screen that looks like this: - - - -(gdb) info threads - 8 Thread 6151 (LWP 14908) 0x409778fe in sigsuspend () from /lib/libc.so.6 - 7 Thread 5126 (LWP 14907) 0x409778fe in sigsuspend () from /lib/libc.so.6 - 6 Thread 4101 (LWP 1007) 0x409778fe in sigsuspend () from /lib/libc.so.6 - 5 Thread 3076 (LWP 1006) 0x409778fe in sigsuspend () from /lib/libc.so.6 - 4 Thread 2051 (LWP 1005) 0x409778fe in sigsuspend () from /lib/libc.so.6 - 3 Thread 1026 (LWP 1004) 0x409778fe in sigsuspend () from /lib/libc.so.6 - 2 Thread 2049 (LWP 1003) 0x40a10d90 in poll () from /lib/libc.so.6 - 1 Thread 1024 (LWP 995) 0x40a10d90 in poll () from /lib/libc.so.6 - - - For the most part, only - evolution-mail will have more - than one thread. - - - Now, for each of the threads listed, type the following commands: - -thread N -bt - - Where 'N' is the number of the thread (in this example, 1 - through 8). - - - Cut and paste all the output gdb gives you into a text - file.

Usually, when developers say that, they mean - that they didn't test it out thoroughly and have left it to - other programmers to "configure" themselves a working - system. In the case of Ximian - Evolution, "configurable", it means that, while - you can expect the program to work perfectly well in its - default settings, it's also easy to alter its behavior in a - wide variety of ways, so that it fits your needs exactly. - This part of the book will describe that process, from the - quickest glimpse of the Setup Assistant to an in-depth tour of - the preferences dialogs. - - - - &CONFIG-PREFS; - &CONFIG-SYNC; - - - &MENUREF; - &APX-GLOSS; - &APX-BUGS; - &APX-AUTHORS; - - \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/help/C/figures/calendar.png

The New Appointment - dialog will pop up with the menu bar, tool bar, and - window full of choices for you. - - - Shortcut - - If you don't need to enter more information than the date - and time of the appointment, you just click in any blank - space in the calendar and start typing. You can enter other - information later with the appointment editor. - - - - - Your appointment must have a starting and ending date — by - default, today — but you can choose whether to give it - starting and ending times or to mark it as an All - day event. An All day event - appears at the top of a day's appointment list, in the grey header under the date, rather than inside - it. That makes it easy to have appointments that overlap and fit - inside each other. For example, a conference might be an all - day appointment, and the meetings at the conference would be timed - appointments. Of course, appointments with specific starting and ending - times can also overlap. When they do they're displayed as - multiple columns in the day view of the calendar. - - - Evolution supports the use of - timezones. If you share calendar files with friends or - co-workers, it is quite possible you will need to configure - your timezone. To configure your timezone: - - - - Click - - Tools - Calendar Settings - - - - - - Click the Globe button in the - Time section, located in the - General tab. - - - - - Each red dot represents a major city. Click a dot and click OK to select your time zone. - - - - - - You can also configure timezone information specific to the - Start and End time in each appointment. To do that, simply - create a new appointment and click on a globe to customize the - timezone that the time exists in. 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're not - calling each other a few hours off. Setting time-zones on a - per-appointment basis helps avoid that potential confusion. - - - Multiple Simultanious Appointments - - If you create calendar appointments that overlap, - Evolution will display them side - by side in your calendar. However, - Evolution cannot help you do - multiple things at once. - - - - You can have as many - Alarms, any time prior to the appointment - you've scheduled. You can have one alarm of each of the following types: - - - Display: - - - A window will pop up on your screen to remind you of - your appointment. - - - - - Audio: - - - Choose this to have your computer deliver a sound - alarm. - - - - - Program: - - - Select this if you would like to run a program as a - reminder. You can enter its name in the text field, - or find it with the Browse - button. - - - - - - - - - Reminders Without Evolution - - If you have stored reminders in a local calendar, they - will work from the moment you log in. However, for reminders - stored on an Exchange server, you must run Evolution at - least once after logging in. No matter where the reminders - are stored, you can quit Evolution and still be reminded of - an upcoming appointment. - - - - - Classification - only applies to calendars on a - network. Public is the default category, - and a public appointment can be viewed by anyone on the calendar - sharing network. Private denotes one - level of security, and Confidential an even - higher level. - - - Evolution can handle not only time - that you're busy, but free time. This can be useful if you're - on a network sharing calendar files. You can easily compare - schedules with other people, allowing easy setup of a RSVP. - - - To set your appointment to be free or busy, simply click the - box in the Show Time As section in the - Appointment Editor. - - - Evolution lets you categorize your - appointments, which can help if you lead a busy life. The bottom - section of the Appointment tab is where your - categorization is done. - - - - Adding a New Appointment Category - - You can add a new category to your category list by clicking on - Edit Master Category List and single-clicking - on Click here to add a category. - - - - - The purpose of categories is to let you view all appointments which have - similar activities.

The categories you selected are now - listed in the text box to the right of the Categories... - button. - - - - The Recurrence tab lets you describe - repetition in appointments ranging from once every day up to once - every 100 years. You can then choose a time and date when the - appointment will stop recurring, and, under - Exceptions, pick individual days when the - appointment will not recur. Make your - selections from left to right, and you'll form a sentence: - "Every two weeks on Monday and Friday until January 3, 2003" - or "Every month on the first Friday for 12 occurrences." - - - - Once you're done with all those settings, click on the disk - icon in the toolbar to save and close the appointment editor window. - If you want, you can alter an appointment - summary in the calendar view by clicking on it and typing.

There are eighteen different people with that name - in the file. He then enters "Sales," and - Evolution narrows it down to the - right Curtis.

You can have folders and searches the same way you can - with mail, but the addressbook does not allow Virtual Folders. It - does, however, allow each card to fall under several - categories, and allow you to create your own categories. To - learn about categories, read . - - - - - - Groups of contacts - - Evolution offers two ways for you - to organize your cards. The first way is to use folders; - this works the same way mail folders do. For more - flexibility, you can also mark contacts as elements of - different categories. To better integrate with email tools, - you can also create lists of contacts that you can send mail - to as a single person. - - - - Grouping with Folders - - The simplest way to group address cards is to use folders. - By default, cards start in the - Contacts folder. If you've read then you already know that you - can create a new folder by selecting - - File - New - Folder - - and that you can put new folders anywhere you like. Just - like with mail, cards must be in a card folder, and no card - can be in two places at once. If you want more - flexibility, try . - - - To put a card into a folder, just drag it there from the - folder view. Remember that contact cards can only go in - contact folders, just like mail can only go in mail folders, - and calendars in calendar folders. - - - - - Grouping with Categories - - The other way to group cards is to mark them as belonging - to different categories. - That means that you - can mark a card as being in several categories or no - category at all. For example, I put my friend Matthew's - card in the "Business" category, because he works with me, - the "Friends" category, because he's also my friend, and - the "Frequent" category, because I call him all the time - and can never remember his phone number. - - - To mark a card as belonging to a category, click the - Categories button at the lower - right. From the dialog box that appears, you can check as - many or as few categories as you like. - - - - - - - - Creating a List of Contacts - - To create a list of contacts: - - - - - Open the list creation dialog box by clicking the - New List button or selecting - - - File - - - New - - - Contact List - - . - - - - - - Enter a name for the list. - - - - - Enter names or email addresses of contacts, or just - drag contacts from the main window into the list. - - - - - - Choose whether you would like to hide the email - addresses when you send a message to the list. - Unless it is a very small list, it is recommended - that you leave the addresses hidden. This is the - same thing as using the "Bcc:" feature discussed in - . - - - - - - - When you are done, click OK. The - list will appear as a contact card, which you can use as - you would any other. That includes emailing the list to - another person, and, of course, sending email to the list. - - - To mail the list, open a new email and type the name you - chose for the list. Ximian Evolution will address the - message to the entire list when you send it. You can also - right-click on the list's address card in the Addressbook - and select Send Message to List. - - - - - - - - - - Sharing your Cards - - The LDAP protocol was - created to let users share contact information over a network. - LDAP allows for users to browse other people's addressbooks, or - maintain a shared set of contact information for a company or - department. This feature comes in handy if you are in a group - where there are lots of people using the same contacts. Such an - example would be the sales department of a company with their - client list. - - - - Sharing Address Cards and Calendar Data - - Rich wants to schedule a meeting with Company X, so he - checks the network for the Company X address card so he - knows whom to call there. Since his company also shares - calendars, he then learns that his co-worker Deanna has - already scheduled a meeting with Company X next Thursday. - He can either go to the meeting himself or ask Deanna to - discuss his concerns for him. Either way, he avoids - scheduling an extra meeting with Company X. - - - - - Of course, you don't want to share all of your cards— why - overload the network with a list of babysitters or tell - everyone in the office you're talking to new job prospects? If - you keep cards on your own computer, you can decide which items - you want to make accessible to others. - - - To learn how to add a remote directory to your available - contact folders, see . - Once you have a LDAP connection, the network contacts folder or - folders will appear inside the External - Directories folder in the folder bar. It will work - exactly like a local folder of cards, with the following - exceptions: - - - - - Network folders are only available when you are - connected to the network. If you use a laptop or have a - modem connection, you may wish to copy or cache the - network directory. You do this by dragging and dropping - your desired contacts into the local contacts list. - - - - - - To prevent excess network traffic, - Evolution will not normally - load the contents of LDAP folders immediately upon - opening. You must click Display - All before LDAP folder cards will be loaded - from the network. You can change this behavior in the - Contact Preferences window. - - - - - Your ability to view, change, add, and delete contacts - depends on the settings of the LDAP server. - - - - - - Configuring Evolution to use LDAP - - For information about setting up - Evolution to use LDAP, please refer - to - - - - - - Send me a Card: Adding New Cards Quickly - - As noted before, when you get information about a person in - the mail or in a calendar entry, you can add it to an address - card. To do so, right click on any email address or email - message, and select Add Address - Card from the menu that appears. - Evolution can also add cards from a - hand-held device during HotSync operation.

For contacts, you may wish to consider using - OutPort, a third-party conversion tool. Ximian does not - support OutPort but you can find more information about it - at the Outport - homepage. For email, there is a more simple - workaround: - - - - - While using Windows, import the files into Mozilla Mail (or - another mailer, such as Netscape or Eudora, that uses the - standard mbox format). - - - - - - Copy the files to the system or partition you use for - Ximian Evolution. - - - - - - Use the Ximian Evolution import - tool to import the files. There's more information about - why this works, and how, at the Ximian support website. - - - - - - - - Netscape Users - - Before importing mail from Netscape, make sure you select - FileCompact All - Folders. If you don't, - Ximian Evolution will import and undelete - the messages in your Trash folders. - - - - - - - - Sorting Mail with Column Headers - - By default, the message list has columns with the following - headings: an envelope icon indicating whether you have read - or replied to a message, an exclamation point indicating priority, and the - From, Subject, and - Date fields. You can change their order - and remove them by dragging and dropping them. - - To add columns: - - - - Right click on the column header - - - - - Click Add a Column - - - - - Click and drag a column you want into a space between - existing column headers.

A red arrow will - appear to show you where you're about to put the - column. - - - - - - - - Getting Organized with Folders - - Ximian Evolution keeps mail, as well as - address cards and calendars, in folders. You start out with a - few mail folders, such as Inbox, - Outbox, and Drafts, - but you can create as many as you like. Create new folders by - selecting New and then - Folder from the - File menu. - Ximian Evolution will as you for the name - and the type of the folder, and will provide you with a folder - tree so you can pick where it goes. - - - When you click OK, your new folder will - appear in the folder view. You can - then put messages in it by dragging and dropping them, or by - using the Move button in the - toolbar. If you want to move several messages at once, click - on the ones you want to move while holding down the - Ctrl key, or use Shift to - select a range of messages. If you create a filter with the - filter assistant, you can have mail - filed automatically. - - - - Subfolders in IMAP - - The INBOX folder on most IMAP servers cannot contain both - subfolders and messages. When you create additional folders - on your IMAP mail server, branch them from the root of the - IMAP account's folder, tree, not from INBOX. If you create - subfolders in your INBOX folder, you will lose the ability - to read messages that exist in your INBOX until you move the - folders out of the way. - - - - - - - Searching for Messages - - Most mail clients can search through your messages for you, - but Ximian Evolution does it faster. You - can search through just the message subjects, just the message - body, or both body and subject. - - - To start searching, enter a word or phrase in the text area - right below the toolbar, and choose a search type: - - - Body or subject contains: - - - This will search message subjects and the messages - themselves for the word or phrase you've entered in - the search field. - - - - - Body contains: - - - This will search only in message text, not the subject - lines. - - - - - Subject contains: - - - This will show you messages where the search text is - in the subject line. It will not search in the - message body. - - - - - Body does not contain: - - - This finds every email message that does not have the - search text in the message body. It will still show - messages that have the search text in the subject - line, if it is not also in the body. - - - - - Subject does not contain: - - - This finds every mail whose subject does not contain - the search text. - - - - - - When you've entered your search phrase, press - Enter. Ximian Evolution - will show your search results in the message list. - - - - If you think you'll want to return to a search again, you can - save it as a virtual folder by selecting Store - Search as vFolder. - - - - When you're done with the search, go back to seeing all your - messages by choosing Show All from - the Search drop-down box. If you're - sneaky, just enter a blank search: since every message has at - least one space in it, you'll see every message in the - folder. - - - - If you'd like to perform a more complex search, open the - advanced search dialog by selecting - Advanced... from the - Search drop-down menu. Then, create your - search criteria (each with the same options you saw in the - regular search bar), and decide whether you want to find - messages that match all of them, or messages that match even - one. Then, click Search to go and find - those messages. - - - - You'll see a similar approach to sorting messages when you - create filters and vFolders in the next few sections. - - - - - - Create Rules to Automatically Organize Mail - - Filters work very much like the mail room in a large company. - Their purpose is to bundle, sort, and distribute mail to the - various folders. In addition, you can have multiple filters - performing multiple actions that may effect the same message - in several ways. For example, your filters could put copies - of one message into multiple folders, or keep a copy and send - one to another person as well, and it can do that quickly. Of - course, it's also faster and more flexible than an actual - person with a pile of envelopes. - - - - Making New Filters - - To create a new filter: - - - - Click - - Tools - Filters - - - - - - Press the Add button. - - - - - Name your filter in the Rule name field. - For each filter criterion, you must first select - which of the following parts of the message you want the filter to - examine: - - - - Sender - The sender's address. - - - - - Recipients - The recipients of the message. - - - - Subject - The subject line of the message. - - - - Specific Header - The filter can look at any header you - want, even obscure or custom ones. Enter the header name - in the first text box, and put your search text in the - second one. - - - - Message Body - Search in the actual text of the message. - - - - - Expression - For programmers only: match a message according to an - expression you write in the Scheme language, used to - define filters in Ximian Evolution. - - - - Date sent - Filter messages according to the date on - which they were sent: First, choose the conditions you - want a message to meet — before - a given time, after it, and so forth. - Then, choose the time. The filter will compare the - message's time-stamp to the system clock when the filter - is run, or to a specific time and date you choose from a - calendar. You can even have it look for messages within a - range of time relative to the filter — perhaps you're - looking for messages less than two days old. - - - Date Received - This works the same - way as the Date Sent option, - except that it compares the time you got the - message with the dates you specify. - - - - Score - Emails have a standard priority range from -3 (least - important) to 3 (most important). You can have filters set the - priority of messages you receive, and then have other filters - applied only to those messages which have a certain priority. - - - - - Size (kb) - Sorts based on the size of the message in kilobytes. - - - - - - Status - Filters according to the status of a message, such as - 'New'. - - - - - - Attachments - Create a filter based on whether or not you - have an attachment in the email. - - - - - - Mailing List - Filter based on the mailing list it came from. - - - How Does Filtering on Mailing Lists Work? - - Filtering on mailing list actually looks for a - specific mailing-list header called the - X-BeenThere - header, used to identify mailing lists or other - redistributors of mail. - - - - - - - Regex Match - If you know your way around a - regex, or - regular expression, put your knowledge to use - here. - - - - - - Source Account - Filter messages according the server you got them from. - You can enter a URL or choose one from the drop-down - list. This ability is only relevant if you use more - than one mail source. - - - - - - - - Select the criterion for the condition. If you want multiple - criteria for this filter, press Add - criterion and repeat the previous step. - - - - - Select the actions for the filter in the Then - section. You can select any of the following options. - - - Move to Folder - If you select this item, Ximian Evolution - will put the messages into a folder you specify. Click the - <click here to select a folder> button - to select a folder. - - - - Copy to Folder - If you select this item, Ximian Evolution - will put the messages into a folder you specify. Click the - <click here to select a folder> button - to select a folder. - - - - Forward to Address - Select this, enter an address, and the addressee will - get a copy of the message. - - - - Delete - Marks the message for deletion. You can still get the message - back, at least until you Expunge your - mail yourself. - - - - Stop Processing - Select this if you want to tell all other filters to ignore - this message, because whatever you've done with it so far - is plenty. - - - - Assign Color - Select this item, and Ximian Evolution - will mark the message with whatever color you please. - - - - Assign Score - If you know that all mail with - "important" somewhere in the message body line is - important, you can give it a high priority score. In a subsequent filter you can - then arrange your messages by their priority score. - - - - - - - Set Status - If you want to add multiple actions for this filter, press - Add filter and repeat the previous step. - - - - - Press OK. - - - - - - When Are Filters Applied? - - If you move mail from your server into your local system - using POP mail, filters are applied to incoming mail every - time you check for mail. - - - If you store your mail on the mail server and check your - mail with IMAP, filters are applied to the INBOX when you - open it. In some cases, you will see a number of unread - messages in the INBOX, click the INBOX, and then have the - messages move elsewhere as they are filtered out. - - - If you use Ximian Connector to store your mail on an - Exchange server, filters are not applied until you open - your INBOX folder and select - ActionsApply - Filters or press - CtrlY - - - - Using a Filter to Avoid Spam - - A good deal of bulk mail is eventually tagged with the - Precedence: Bulk header at - one point or another. Not all of it is, of course, and - there are "good" messages (mailing lists you subscribe to, - for example) that are also considered "Bulk" mail. - However, if you filter out all the mail with that header, - you'll catch a lot of the mail you don't want to get. - - - To catch them and automatically mark them for deletion, do - the following: - - - - Select ToolsFilters. - - - - Click New. - - - - Set the first part of your search critera to look in a Specific header. - - - - Enter Precedence as the name of the header. - - - - Choose contains at the second drop-down box. - - - - Enter Bulk as the content to search for. - You're now working with all email that has the word "Bulk" in the - "Precedence" header. - - - - For actions, select "Move to Folder" and choose the - folder where you'd like to place bulk mail. - - - If you like, add another action and - choose Delete. - - - - Click OK. You're done. - - - - - - - - - - Editing Filters - - To edit a filter: - - - - Select - - Tools - Filters - - - - - - Select the filter in the Filter Rules section - and press Edit. - - - - - Change the desired settings. - - - - - Press OK in the filter editor window. - - - - - Press OK in the filter manager window. - - - - - - - - Deleting Filters - - To delete a filter: - - - - Select - - Tools - Filters - - - - - - Select the filter and press Delete. - - - - - - - Changing Folder Names and Filters - - - - - Incoming email that your filters don't move goes - into the Inbox; outgoing mail that they don't move - ends up in the Sent folder. So be sure to change - the filters that go with it. - - - - - - - - - - - Getting Really Organized with vFolders - - If filters aren't flexible enough for you, 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 email messages within - Ximian Evolution. If you get a lot of - mail or often forget where you put messages, vFolders - can help you stay on top of things. - - - 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, while a conventional - folder actually contains messages, a vFolder is a view of - messages that may be in several different folders. The - messages it contains are determined on the fly using a set of - criteria you choose in advance. - - - - As messages that meet the vFolder criteria arrive or are - deleted, Ximian Evolution will - automatically place them in and remove them from the - vFolder contents list. When you delete a message, it gets - erased from the folder in which it actually exists, as well as - any vFolders which display it. - - - - Imagine a business trying to keep track of mail from hundreds - of vendors and clients, or a university with overlapping and - changing groups of faculty, staff, administrators and - students. The more mail you need to organize, the less you - can afford the sort of confusion that stems from an - organizational system that's not flexible enough. vFolders - make for better organization because they can accept - overlapping groups in a way that regular folders and filing - systems can't. - - - - - The "Unmatched" vFolder - - Obviously, not all messages will fit into all your Virtual - Folders. That's why Ximian - Evolution includes an Unmatched vFolder. The - Unmatched vFolder displays messages that are not matched by - other rules. - - - If you use remote email storage like IMAP or Microsoft - Exchange, and have created vFolders to search through them, - the Unmatched vFolder will follow your lead, and search the - remote folders as well. If you do not create any vFolders that - search in remote mail stores, the Unmatched vFolder will not - search in them either. - - - - - - Using Folders, Searches, and vFolders - - To organize his mailbox, Jim sets up a virtual volder for emails from - his friend and co-worker Anna. He has another one for messages that - have ximian.com in the address and Ximian 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 Ximian Evolution, it only shows up in the "Anna" folder. - When Anna sends him mail about the user interface for - evolution, he can see that message both in - the "Anna" vFolder and in the "Internal Evolution Discussion" - vFolder. - - - - - - - Creating vFolders - - To create a vFolder: - - - - - Tools - vFolder Editor - - - - - - Click Add - - - - - Name your vFolder in the Rule name field. - - - - - - Select your search criteria.

You can tell the GNOME Virtual - File System about your HTTP proxy in one of two ways: - - - Configure it with Nautilus - - - - - - Open a Nautilus window. - - - - - Select - Preferences - Edit Preferences - . - - - - - Go to the Navigation tab. - - - - - Click the Use HTTP Proxy - checkbox and enter the location of your HTTP - proxy in the Location field. - - - - - - - - Configure it with the gconftool command - - - - - - Open a terminal. - - - - - Enter the command - - gconftool --type=bool --set /system/gnome-vfs/use-http-proxy "TRUE" - - - - - - Enter the command - - gconftool --type=string --set /system/gnome-vfs/http-proxy-host "your-proxy-url" - - - - - - Enter the command - - gconftool --type=int --set /system/gnome-vfs/http-proxy-port "8080" - - - - - - - For more information about the gconftool command, - read the gconftool man page. - - - - - - - - - - - - Composing New Email Messages - - You can start writing a new email message by selecting - - File - New - Mail Message - , or by pressing the - Compose button in the Inbox toolbar. - When you do so, the New Message window - will open, as shown in . - - - -
- New Message Window - - Evolution Main Window - - - -
- - - - Enter an address in the To: field. If you - wish, enter a subject in the Subject:, and - a message in the box at the bottom of the window. - Once you have written your message, press - Send. - - - - Sending Composed Messages Later - - Evolution will send mail - immediately unless you tell it to do otherwise by selecting - File Send - Later. This will add your - messages to the Outbox queue. The - "Send Later" feature is particularly useful if you use a - modem to connect to the Internet and pay per-minute - charges: you can remain offline until you need to send - mail, then connect and send all your mail at once. Mail in - the outbox is sent when you click - Send/Receive in the main window. - - - To learn more about how you can specify message queue and - filter behavior, see . - - - Working Offline - - Select - FileWork - Offline to have - Ximian Evolution disconnect - from the Internet while you work. When you want to - reconnect, choose - FileWork - Online. Alternativly, you can click the connection button at the bottom left side of the window. - - - - - You can also choose to save messages as drafts or as text - files. Your options are: - - - Choose - - File - Save Draft - - to store your messages in the drafts folder for later - revision. - - - - If you'd like to have the message sent later, you - can choose Send Later. That way, - the message will be added to the queue, and you can send a - batch of messages all at once. - - - - If you prefer to save your message as a text file, - choose Save As and then choose a - file name. - - - - - - - - More About Mail Composition - - In the next few sections, you'll see how - Evolution handles advanced email - features, including large recipient lists, attachments, and - forwarding. - - - Attachments - - To attach a file to your email: - - - - Push the attach button in the composer toolbar. - - - - - Select the file you want to attach. - - - - - Press OK - - - - - - You can drag a file from your desktop into the composer window to - attach it as well. - - - To hide the display of files you've attached to the - message, select - View Hide - Attachments ; to show them - again, choose Show Attachments. - - - When you send the message, a copy of the attached file - will go with it. Be aware that big attachments can take a - long time to download. - - - - - Specifying Recipients for Email - - Evolution, like most email - 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 email - address or addresses in the To: - field, which denotes primary recipients. To send mail to - more than one or two people, you can use the - Cc: field. - - - 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. - - - Bcc: is a little more complex. You - use it like Cc:, but people on the - Bcc: 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 Bcc: field is absent, click - - View - Bcc Field - . - - - - - If you frequently write email to the same groups of people, - you can create address lists in the Contact Manager, and - then send them mail as though they had a single address. - To learn how to do that, read . - - - - Setting Reply-to On a Per-Mail Basis - - Evolution has the ability to - let you specify the Reply-To in an email. Using this, you - can setup a special Reply-To for an email. To do this: - - - - Open a composer window - - - - - Open the Reply-To field by selecting - - View - Reply To - - - - - - Enter the address you wish to have be the - Reply-To address in the new Reply-To field. - - - - - - - - - Choosing Recipients Quickly - - If you have created address cards in the contact manager, - you can also enter nicknames or other portions of address - data, and Evolution will offer a - drop down list of possible address completions from your - address book. If you enter a name or nickname that can go - with more than one card, Evolution will open a dialog box to - ask you which person you meant. - - - - - - - Alternately, you can click on the - To:, Cc:, or - Bcc: buttons to get a list -- - potentially a very long one -- of the email addresses - in your contact manager. Select addresses and click on - the arrows to move them into the appropriate address - columns. - - - For more information about using email together with the - contact manager and the calendar, see and . - - - - - - Replying to Email Messages - - To reply to a message, press the - Reply: button while it is selected, - or choose Reply to Sender: from - the message's right-click menu. That will open the - message composer. The - To: and Subject: - fields will already be filled, although you can alter them - if you wish. In addition, the full text of the old message - is inserted into the new message, either grey (for - HTML display) or with the > character before each line - (in plain text mode), to indicate that it's part of the - previous message. People often intersperse their message - with the quoted material as shown in . - - -
- Reply Message Window - - Evolution Main Window - - - -
- - - - If you're reading a message with several recipients, you may - wish to 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. - - Using the Reply to All feature - - Susan sends an email to a client and sends copies to Tim - and to an internal company mailing list of co-workers. - If Tim wants to make a comment for all of them to read, - he uses Reply to All, but if he - just wants to tell Susan that he agrees with her, he - uses Reply. Note that his reply - will not reach anyone that Susan put on her - Bcc list, since that list is not - shared with anyone. - - - - - If you're subscribed to a mailing list, and want your reply - to go just to the list, rather than to the sender, choose - Reply to List instead of - Reply or Reply to - All. - - What is a Mailing List? - - Mailing Lists are one of the most popular tools for - group collaboration on the Internet. Here's how they work: - - - Someone sends a message to a single address, like - evolution@ximian.com. - - - That address belongs to a program that distributes - the message to a list of recipients. - - - 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. - - - Mailing list servers can also let network administrators - control mail flow, list membership, and even moderate - the content of mailing lists. - - - - - - - Searching and Replacing with the Composer - - You are probably familiar with search and replace features - in any sort of text-editing software, and if you come from - a Linux or Unix background, you may know what - Find Regex does. If you aren't - among the lucky who already know, here's a quick rundown of - the automated text searching features that the message - composer makes available to you. - - - - - Find: - Enter a word or phrase, and - Evolution will find it - in your message. - - - - - Find Regex: - - - Find a regex, also called a - regular - expression, in your composer window. - - - - - - Find Again: - - Select this item to repeat the last search you performed. - - - - - Replace: - - Find a word or phrase, and replace it with - something else. - - - - - - - - For all of these menu items, you can choose whether or not - to Search Backwards in the document - from the point where your cursor is. For all but the - regular expression search (which doesn't need it), you are - offered a check box to determine whether the search is to - be Case Sensitive when it determines - a match. - - - - - Enhance your email with HTML - - Normally, you can't set text styles or insert pictures in - emails, which is why email is often regarded as - uncommunicative and cold, and why people often resort to - using far too many exclamation points to convey their - feelings. However, most newer email programs can display - images and text styles as well as basic alignment and - paragraph formatting. They do this with HTML, just like web pages do. - - - HTML Mail is not a Default Setting - - Some people do not have HTML-capable mail clients, or - prefer not to receive HTML-enhanced mail because it is - slower to download and display. Because some people may - prefer not to get HTML mail, - Evolution sends plain text - unless you explicitly ask for HTML. - - - - You can change the format of an email message between - plain text and HTML by choosing - Format - HTML. - - - To send all your mail as HTML by default, set your mail - format preferences in the mail configuration dialog. See - for more - information. - - - HTML formatting tools are located in the toolbar just above - the space where you'll actually compose the message, and - they also appear in the Insert and - Format menus. - - - The icons in the toolbar are explained in tool-tips, which appear when - you hold your mouse over the buttons. The buttons fall - into four categories: - - - Headers and lists: - - - At the left edge of the toolbar, you can choose - Normal for a default text style - or Header 1 through - Header 6 for varying sizes of - header from large (1) to tiny (6). Other styles - include preformat, to use the HTML - tag for preformatted blocks of text, and three types - of bullet points for the highly - organized. - - - Using Bullets to Make Your Email More - Attractive - - Often times, people use asterisks instead of real bullets. - Not only do asterisks look nicer, but - Evolution will word wrap for you, - which makes your text looks nicer. - - - - - - Text style: - - - Use these buttons to determine the way your letters - look. If you have text selected, the style will - apply to the selected text. If you do not have text - selected, the style will apply to whatever you type - next. The buttons are: - - Push B for bold text - Push I for italics - Push U to underline - Push S for a strikethrough. - - - - - - Alignment: - - - Located next to the text style buttons, these three - paragraph icons should be familiar to users of most - word processing software. The leftmost button will - make your text aligned to the left, the center - button, centered, and the right hand button, - aligned on the right side. - - - - - - Indentation rules: - - - The button with the arrow pointing left will reduce - a paragraph's indentation, and the right arrow will - increase its indentation. - - - - - - Color Selection: - - - At the far right is the color section tool. The - colored box displays the current text color; to - choose a new one, click the arrow button just to the - right. If you have text selected, the color will - apply to the selected text. If you do not have text - selected, the color will apply to whatever you type - next. You can select a background color or image by - right-clicking on the message background and - selecting Page. - - - - - - - The Insert gives you opinions which let you - spruce up your email to make it more interesting: - - - Link: - - - Lets you link some text to a website. Use this tool to put hyperlinks in your HTML - messages. If you don't want special link text, you can just enter the address - directly, and Evolution - will recognize it as a link. To add a link: - - - - Select the text you wish to link from. - - - - - Right click on the text and click on Link. - - - - - Put the URL you want to use in the URL field. - - - - - Click OK. - - - - - - - If you're typing a webpage address to be automatically formatted, keep in mind that a space terminates the link. - - - - - - Image: - - - Lets you put an image alongside text. - - - To insert an image into your email: - - - - Open a new email by clicking New Message - - - - - Make sure that you have the - - Format - HTML - - selector checked. - - - - - Click the Insert Image button in the toolbar, or select - - Insert - Image - . - - - - - Choose your image by clicking the Browse button. - - - - - Press Insert to insert the image. - - - - - - - - Rule: - - - Inserts a horizontal line into the text to help divide two - sections. - - - To insert a rule: - - - - Open a new email by clicking New Message - - - - - Make sure that you have the - - Format - HTML - - selector checked. - - - - - Click the Rule button in the Toolbar. - - - - - Select the type of rule. You can use a plain - line, a 3D line, or a yellow line with flowers. - - - - - Choose the size of the line, as a percentage of the width of the email window. - - - - - - Choose the alignment and style. For the plain - line, you can choose the thickness of the line, - and whether it will be shaded, or solid. For the - other types, you can only choose alignment. - - - - - - Click Insert to insert the rule. - - - - - - - - Table: - - - Inserts a table into the text to help divide two - sections. - - - To insert a rule: - - - - Open a new email by clicking New Message - - - - - Make sure that you have the - - Format - HTML - - selector checked. - - - - - Click the Table button in the Toolbar. - - - - - Select the Template you wish to use. Each template has a slightly different feel and layout. - - - - - If you so desire, you may change the other options such as: number of rows, columns, spacing of each cell, and more. - - - - - Click the Insert button. - - - - - - - - To add a hyperlink to your HTML message: - - - - Select the text you want to display as a link. - - - - - Right click on text and select - Link - - - - - Enter the address you wish to link to in the - URL field. - - - - - Press OK. - - - - - - - To add an image to your HTML message: - - - - Select - - Insert - Image - . - - - - - Click Browse to select the image - you want to include in your email. - - - - - - Along the right side of the window, choose the alignment, - border, and other attributes of the image. If you change - the size attributes, the image will be shrunk or stretched - to fit the size you have chosen. - - - - - - If you would like to make the image a clickable link, - enter a URL in the Link tab of the - window. - - - - - - When you are finished, press - Insert to include the image in - your message. - - - - - - You can insert an image into the background of your message by - right-clicking on the message background and selecting - Page. From that dialog, you may - also select background color and set other general options - about the html message you are composing. - - - HTML Templates - - Evolution not only allows you to - decorate your email with HTML text and graphics, but - provides you with prebuilt templates for you to use when - making these improvements. You can use these to emphasize a - point or frame an image in an attractive manner. - - - To include a template into your HTML based email: - - - - Create a new email by clicking New Message. - - - - - Make sure that the - - - Format - - - HTML - - - selector is checked. - - - - - Click the HTML Template button in the - Toolbar or select - - - Insert - - - HTML Template - - - - - - - Select the template type in the - Template selection box. Your - options are Note and - Image Frame. - - - - - Set the size and alignment of the HTML template. - - - - - - Click Insert to insert it where the - cursor is. - - - - - Click on the text in the template, and enter the text - you want to use. - - - If you have selected an image frame template, - right-click on the image and select - Image to select the image - you want to place in the frame. - - - - - - - Tables in Email - - Evolution allows you to put - tables in your HTML email to help organize your thoughts. - These tables are a simplified version of what you might find - in a spreadsheet program like - Gnumeric. - - - To include a table in your email: - - - - Create a new email by clicking New Message. - - - - - Make sure you have the - - - Format - - - HTML - - - selector checked. - - - - - - Select - - - Insert - - - Table - - - or click the Table button in the - toolbar. - - - - - - Select the template, or style, you want to use for the - table. - - - - - Set the number of rows and columns you want. - - - - - Click the Insert button. - - - - - Click in a cell and type to insert text into the table. - - - - - - You can also edit a table after creation. Just right-click - on it and select Table to open - the table editing window again. Or, you can select items - from the Table Delete and Table - Insert menus. - - - - - Deleting an Entire Table - - You can delete an entire table by right-clicking on - a table or other HTML object in a message, and selecting - - Table Delete - Table . In an - HMTL message, your signature, templates, and image - inclusions all have tables around them, and you can remove - them completely and quickly with this shortcut. - - - - - - - - - Forwarding Mail - - The post office forwards your mail for you when you change - addresses, and you can forward a letter if it comes to you by mistake. - The email Forward button - works in much the same way. It's particularly useful if you - have received a message and you think someone else would - like to see it. You can forward a message as an attachment - to a new message (this is the default) or - you can send it inline 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 - message you are forwarding. Remember to note from whom the - message came, and where, if at all, you have removed or - altered content. - - - To forward a message you are reading, press - Forward on the toolbar, or select - Message - Forward . If you - prefer to forward the message inline - instead of attached, select - Message Forward - Inline from the menu. Choose an - addressee as you would when sending a new message; the - subject will already be entered, but you can alter it. - Enter your comments on the message in the - composition frame, and press - Send. - - - - - Seven Tips for Email Courtesy - - - - - - - Don't send spam or forward chain mail. If you must, - watch out for hoaxes and urban legends, and make sure - the message doesn't have multiple layers of - greater-than signs, (>) indicating multiple layers - of careless in-line forwarding. - - - - - - Always begin and close with a salutation. Say "please" - and "thank you," just like you do in real life. You - can keep your pleasantries short, but be pleasant! - - - - - - WRITING IN CAPITAL LETTERS MEANS YOU'RE SHOUTING! - Don't write a whole message in capital letters. It - hurts people's ears. - - - - - - Check your spelling and use complete sentences. By - default, Evolution will put - a red line beneath words it doesn't recognize, as you - type them. - - - - - - Don't send nasty emails (flames). If you get one, - don't write back. - - - - - - When you reply or forward, include just enough of - the previous message to provide context: not too - much, not too little. - - - - - - Don't send spam. - - - - - - - Improving Email Appearance with HTML - - Evolution can do a lot with email - by utilizing the HTML features. Making an email functional - and visually attractive can be challenging. The following - section provides tips to make your mail functional, while - being more visually attractive than ever. - - - Sections Outlined in Bold - - Indented sections are a great way to categorize and group - your thoughts together. Below is an example of indented - text with headings to help separate your thoughts into the - proper sections: -
- Indented Text with Headlines - - - - -
- - - This message is not only more attractive, but more - informative. Each section is broken down into subsctions. - The title for each section is in bold text, with the - following content indented. - - - Making your headlines a larger size instead of bold can help - as well. Header size 4 is often the best alternative for - bold. You can change your text to size 4 by selecting it and - pressing Ctrl4, - and change it back to normal size with Ctrl0. - - - - Bulleted Lists - - Select the Bulleted List option - from the text style drop-down box to begin making a bulleted - list. Evolution will handle the - word wrap and indentation for you. If you prefer to send - the message in plain text, you can still write it up in - HTML, and Evolution will convert - to a well-formed plain-text bulleted list, using asterisks - instead of HTML bullets. - - - - Images In Your Email - - Another way to improve the appearance of messages is to add - images to them. Especially if you want to discuss a - particular image in the message, the the HTML picture frame - template in Evolution, as it - looks good and has captions below it. - - - If you do choose to use images, try to keep them narrow. If - your images are wider than 400 pixels, the image may not fit - in the whole email window, making it hard for your reader to - read the email and view the image. Instead, you should - consider using a thumbnail and creating a link on the image - which opens a browser with the full image. -
- Images in an email - - - - -
- - - - Coloring Your Text - - Colors can help bring words or sentences out for emphasis. - You should choose your colors carefully though, because the - wrong color can be distracting. Some good colors to use - are: - - - - Light brown - - - - - Dull purple - - - - - Dark red - - - - - - All of these colors are of a similar level of saturation and are - easy to read on a white background. - - - - - HTML Signatures in Your Email - - The last few lines of an email message are often devoted to - a signature block, typically a few lines of text appended - automatically to every email by the mail program itself. You - can use the signature to add your address and any other - contact information you think is important, or simply to - provide an amusing or interesting closing line for your - message. Evolution gives you the - option of designing your signatures in HTML or in plain - text. - - - To set up an HTML signature: - - - - Click - - Tools - Mail Settings - - while in the mail component. - - - - - Select the account you wish to associate the signature - to and click Edit. - - - - - At the bottom you'll see a field for a HTML - Signature. Click the box next to it to - enable a signature. - - - - - If you have a pre-made signature, click the - Browse to select your - signature. You can find pre-made signatures at the - Ximian signature page. - - - - - If you are creating a new signature, click the - Edit button to open up the HTML - signature editor. - - - - - The HTML signature editor uses the same interface as - the composer. You can create your signature in this - window. - - - - - Once you have completed your signature, click - - File - Save and Close - - - - - - When you select your mail to be composed in HTML - format, your HTML signature will automatically show up. - - - - - - - - - RSVPs in Mail - - If you create an event in the calendar component, you can then - send invitations to the attendee list through the - Ximian Evolution email tool. The - invitation card is sent as an attachment in iCal format. - - - If you click on the attachment button and click the - View Inline, Ximian - Evolution will show you information about the - meeting, and let you respond to the meeting in several ways. - Select the response that you would like, and then click the - OK button. - - - Your options are: - - - Accept: - - - Select this entry if you will attend the meeting. When you - click the OK button, the meeting will - be entered into your calendar. - - - - - - Tentatively Accept: - - - Select this entry if you will probably attend the meeting. - When you click the OK button, the - meeting will be entered into your calendar, but marked as - tentative. - - - - - - Decline: - - - Select this item if you will be unable to attend the - meeting. The meeting will not be entered into your calendar - when you click the OK, although your - response will be sent to the meeting host if you have - checked the RSVP box. - - - - - - RSVP: - - - Check this box if you would like your response sent to - the meeting organizers. - - - - - - - - - Subscription Management - - Since IMAP folders exist on the server, and opening them or - checking them takes time, you need fine-grained control over the - way that you use IMAP folders. That's why - Evolution has an IMAP subscriptions - manager. If you prefer to have every mail folder displayed, you - can select that option as well. However, if you'd like to choose - specific items in your mailbox, and exclude others, you can use - the subscription management tool to do that. - - - Here's how: - - - - - Select - ToolsSubscribe - to Folders. - - - - - - If you have accounts on multiple IMAP servers, select the - server where you'd like to manage your - subscriptions. Evolution will - display a list of available files and folders. - - - - - - Select a file or folder by clicking on it. You will want - to select at least the INBOX - folder. Depending upon the way your IMAP server is - configured, the list of available files may include - non-mail folders. If it does, you can ignore them. - - - - - - Click the Subscribe to add it to - the subscribed list. - - - - - When you have subscribed to the folders you want, close - the window. - - - - - - - - Encryption - - What is Encryption? - - Encryption is an ancient method of keeping information safe - from prying eyes. Evolution helps - you you protect your privacy by using - gpg, an implementation of strong - Public Key - Encryption. - - - - Public Key? Private Key? What is the difference? - - 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. - Never give your private key to anyone, - ever. Your private key lets you decrypt any - message encrypted with your public key. - - - - - 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 get - an encrypted message, you must make sure that the sender has - your public key in advance. - - - - You can use encryption in two different ways: - - - Encrypt the entire message, so that nobody but the recipient can read it. - - - 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. - - - - - - Sending an Encrypted Message - - 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 "@#$23ui7yr87#@!48970fsd." - When the information gets to Rachel, she decrypts it using - her private key, and it appears as plain text for her to - read. - - - - Always Sign - - You can set Evolution to always - sign your email messages: - - - - Open your account preferences. - - - - - Open the Security tab. - - - - - Click the Always sign outgoing messages - when using this account button. - - - - - - - - - Making Encryption Keys - - Before you can get or send encrypted mail, you need to - generate your public and private keys with GPG. Here's how: - - - GPG Versions - - This manual covers version 1.0.6 of GPG. If your version is - different, this may not be entirely accurate. You may find - out your version number by typing in: gpg - --version. - - - - - - - Open a terminal and type gpg --gen-key. - - - - - - Choose the default algorythm, "DSA and ElGamal." - - - - - - Choose a key length. The default, 1024 bits, should be - long enough, and 2048 bits is considered very strong - indeed. - - - - - - Decide if you want your key to expire automatically, and if so, when. - - - - - - - Enter your name, email address, and any additional - personal information you think is appropriate. Do not - falsify this information, because it will be needed to - verify your identity later on. - - - - - - 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 gpg --list-keys. You should see - something similar to this: - - /home/you/.gnupg/pubring.gpg - ---------------------------- - pub 1024D/32j38dk2 2001-06-20 you <you@your-address.com> - sub 1024g/289sklj3 2001-06-20 [expires: 2002-11-14] - - - - 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 - ~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg. If you want to - give other people your key, send them that file. - - - If you wish, you can upload your keys to a keyserver. Here's - how: - - - - Check your public key ID with gpg ---list-keys. It will be the string after 1024D on the line -beginning with "pub." In this example, it's 32j38dk2. - - - - - Enter the command gpg --send-keys --keyserver -wwwkeys.pgp.net 32j38dk2. Substitute your key ID for -32j38dk2. You will need your password to do this. - - - - - - Why Use a Keyserver? - - 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. - - - - - - - - Getting and Using Public Keys - - To encrypt a message to your someone else you'll need to use - their public key in combination with your private key. - Evolution does that for you, but - you still need to get their key and add it to your keyring. - - - To get public keys from a public key server, enter the - command: - - gpg --recv-keys --keyserver wwwkeys.pgp.net keyid - , substituting "keyid" for your recipient's ID. You - will need to type in your password, and then their ID will - automatically be added to your keyring. When you send mail to - them, Evolution will allow you to - encrypt your messages. - - - If someone sends you their public key directly, save it as a - plain text file and enter the command gpg --import - filename. This will add it to your keyring. - - - - - Setting up Evolution's Encryption - - You'll need to open - - Tools - Mail Settings - - Once there, select the account with which you'd like to send - and receive encrypted mail, and click the - Edit button. In the - Security tab is a section labeled - Pretty Good Privacy. Enter your key ID - and click OK. Your key is now - integrated into your identity in - Evolution. - - - What is my Key ID again? - - Evolution requires that you know your key ID. If you don't remember it, you can find it by typing gpg --list-keys in a console window. Your key ID will be an eight character string with random numbers and letters. - - - - - - Sending Encrypted Messages - - As you know, you can use encryption to hide the entire - message, or just to verify your signature. Once you've - generated your public and private keys, and have the public - keys of the people to whom you want to send mail, here's what - to do: - - - - - Signing a Message - - To sign a message, choose: - - Security - PGP Sign - - . You will be prompted for your PGP password. Once you enter it, - click OK and your message will be signed. - - - - - Encrypting a Message - - Encrypting a message is very similar to signing a message. - Just choose the menu item - - Security - PGP Encrypt - - - - - Unencrypting a Received Message - - If you get an encrypted message, you will need to decrypt it - before you read it. Remember, the sender has to have your - public key before they can send you an encrypted message. - - - When you view the message, - Evolution will ask you for your - PGP password. Enter it, and the message will be displayed - properly. - - - - \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/help/C/usage-mainwindow.sgml b/help/C/usage-mainwindow.sgml deleted file mode 100644 index 2d8f37a3c8..0000000000 --- a/help/C/usage-mainwindow.sgml +++ /dev/null @@ -1,1488 +0,0 @@ - - - Getting Started with Ximian Evolution - - - What is Ximian Evolution, and What Can It Do for Me? - - Information is useless unless it's organized and accessible; - it's hardly even worth the name if you can't look at it and be - informed.

If you're not sure which file format your mail - program uses, ask your system administrator. If you want, you - can skip this step and return to it at a later time by - selecting - FileImport. - - - Ximian Evolution can import the following types of - files: - - - VCard (.vcf, gcrd): - - - The addressbook format used by the GNOME, KDE, and - many other contact management applications. You - should be able to export to VCard format from any - address book application. - - - - - - Microsoft Outlook Express 4 (.mbx): - - - Email file format used by Microsoft Outlook Express -4. For other versions of Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express, see -the workaround described in the note below. - - - - - - MBox (mbox): - - - The email box format used by Mozilla, Netscape, - Ximian Evolution, Eudora, and many other email clients. - - - - - - - - Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express Users - - Microsoft Outlook, and versions of Outlook Express after - version 4, use proprietary formats that Ximian - Evolution cannot read or import. For contacts, - you may have to email them to yourself and import them that - way. For email, there is a simpler workaround: - - - - - While using Windows, import the files into Mozilla Mail (or - another mailer, such as Netscape or Eudora, that uses the - standard mbox format). - - - - - - Copy the files to the system or partition you use for - Ximian Evolution. - - - - - - Use the Ximian Evolution import - tool to import the files. There's more information about - why this works, and how, at the Ximian support website. - - - - - - - - Netscape Users - - Before importing mail from Netscape, make sure you select - FileCompact All - Folders. If you don't, - Ximian Evolution will import and undelete - the messages in your Trash folders. - - - - - - - Exporting Files From Ximian Evolution - - Ximian Evolution uses standard file types for all its information, - so you should have no trouble taking your information - elsewhere if you want. - - - For mail, that's mbox, for calendar, - iCal, and for the address book, vCards - in a .db3 database. - - - - - - - Importing Mail from Individual Mail Clients - - Chances are, you already have your email in another mail program - and don't want to lose the information. The following section - describes how to import mail from specific mail clients. - - - Importing Mail from mutt - - mutt is a text-based mail client - which is shipped with many Linux and Unix distributions. - mutt uses the standard mbox, - maildir, and MH file formats, which makes importing your mail - into Evolution easy. By default, - mutt uses the mbox file format. - - - - Open Ximian Evolution - - - - - Click - - File - Import - - or press - - Ctrl - I - . - - - - - Click Next. - - - - - Select Import a Single File - - - - - Click Browse and select the file - you would like to import from. By default, your email - is stored in ~/mbox for the mbox - format and ~/Maildir for the Maildir format. - - - - - When prompted for what folder in - Evolution to import to, - select a folder. You can also create a new folder and - drop it in there. - - - - - - - Importing Mail from KMail - - KMail is the mail client which is shipped with the KDE desktop - environment. KMail uses the standard mbox file format, which - means that importing your mail into - Evolution is easy. - - - - Open Ximian Evolution - - - - - Click - - File - Import - - or press - - Ctrl - I - . - - - - - Click Next. - - - - - Select Import a Single File - - - - - Click Browse and select the file - you would like to import from. By default, KMail stores - its information in the Mail directory of your home - directory. - - - - - When prompted for what folder in - Evolution to import to, - select a folder. You can also create a new folder and - drop it in there. - - - - - - - - - What's What in Ximian Evolution - - Now that you've gotten the first-run configuration out of the - way, you're ready to get down to work. Here's a quick - explanation of what's going on in your main - Ximian Evolution window. - - -
- The Ximian Evolution Main Window - - Inbox - - -
- - - - Menubar - - - - The Menubar gives you access to nearly all the - features that can be found in Ximian Evolution. - - - - - Toolbar - - - - The Toolbar gives you fast and easy access to the - most used features in each component. - - - - - Shortcut Bar - - - - The Shortcut Bar lets you go to your favorite - components with the click of a click of a button. - - - - - Status Bar - - - - Periodically, Ximian Evolution will need to quietly - display a message, or tell you the progress of a task. This most - often happens when you're checking or sending email. These progress - queues are shown here, in the Status Bar. - - - - - Search Tool - - - - The Search Tool lets you search through your email - with precision so you can easily find what you're looking for. - - - - - The Shortcut Bar - - Ximian Evolution'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, the column on the left - hand side of the main window. The large buttons with names - like Inbox and - Contacts are the shortcuts, and you can - select different groups of shortcuts by clicking the - rectangular group buttons. - - - Take a look at the Shortcut Bar - The shortcut buttons in that category are: - - - - Summary: - - - Start your day here. The Ximian Evolution - Summary gives you a quick - summary of new or important messages, daily - appointments and urgent tasks. You can customize - its appearance and content, and use it to access - Ximian Evolution services. - - - - - - Inbox: - - - Click the Inbox button to start - reading your mail. Your Inbox is also where you can - access Ximian Evolution's tools to filter, sort, organize, and - search your mail. - - - - - - Calendar: - - - The Calendar can store your appointments and task lists - for you. Connected to a network, you can use it to keep - a group of people on schedule and up to date. - - - - - - Tasks: - - - A full-size view of your calendar's task pad. - - - - - - Contacts: - - - The Addressbook holds contacts, with address, phone, and - other personal information. Like calendar information, - contact data can be synchronized with hand-held devices - and shared over a network. - - - - - - - - - - - Folders and The Folder Bar - - The folder bar is a more comprehensive - way to view the information you've stored with - Ximian Evolution. It displays all your - appointments, address cards, and email in a tree that's a lot - like a file - tree-- it starts small at the top, and branches - downwards. On most computers, there will be three or four - folders at the base. First, of course, is the - Summary, a customizable summary of your - information. Below that are your Local - Folders, which hold all the - Ximian Evolution data that's stored on your - computer. After that are your network servers: LDAP servers that host shared contact - directories, and IMAP mail - folders to which you subscribe. Lastly, there are - vFolders, or virtual folders, discussed in - , - - - - A typical Local folder contains the following folders: - - - - Calendar, for appointments and - event listings. - - - - - Contacts, for address cards. - - - - - Drafts, for messages you started and didn't finish. - - - - - Inbox, for incoming mail. - - - - - - Outbox, for messages you have written - but not yet sent. This will be empty unless you use - Ximian Evolution while offline. - - - - - - Sent, for sent mail. - - - - - - Trash, a vFolder view of all the - messages you have marked for deletion but not yet - expunged. - - - - - - - Navigating without the Folder Bar or the Shortcut Bar - - You don't need the folder bar or the shortcut bar to move - around the main window. You can use the Tab - key to switch from one part of the window to another. When - you hide the folder bar, there is a menu on the left side of - the window just below the toolbar to move about the folder - tree, even with the folder and shortcut bars hidden. - - - - - If you get large volumes of mail, you'll want more folders than - just your Inbox. To create a new folder: - - - - Select - File - New - Folder - - Shift - Ctrl - E - . - - - - - Select the name of the folder in the Folder - Name field. - - - - - Select the folder type. The available options are. - - - - Calendar - - - - - Contacts - - - - - Mail - - - - - Tasks - - - - - - - - - Choose the location of the new folder. - - - - - - - Subfolders - - Ximian Evolution lets you nest folders - inside of each other, so that you can have a detailed - organizational system. - - - - Folders Have Limits - - Calendars must go in calendar folders, mail in mail - folders, and contacts in contact folders. - - - - - Right-clicking will bring up a menu for just about anything in - Ximian Evolution. If you right-click on a - folder, you'll have a menu with the following options: - - View, to view the folder. - Open in New Window to view the folder in another window. - Move, to move the folder to another location. - Copy, to duplicate the folder. - Delete, to delete the folder and all its contents. - Rename, to change its name. - Create New Folder, to create another folder in the same location. - Add to Shortcut Bar, to add the folder to your shortcut bar. - Properties, to view or change the folder properties. - - - - You can also rearrange folders and messages by dragging and - dropping them. - - - - Any time new mail arrives in a mail folder, that folder - label is displayed in bold text, along with the number of - new messages in that folder. - - - - - - The Menu Bar - - The menu bar's contents will always - provide all the possible actions for any given view of your - data. If you're looking at your Inbox, most of the menu items - will relate to mail; some will relate to other components of - Ximian Evolution and some, especially those - in the File Menu will relate to the - application as a whole. - - - - - File: - - Anything related to a file or to the - operations of the application generally falls under this - menu: creating things, saving them to disk, printing them, - and quitting the program itself. - - - - Edit: - - The Edit menu holds - useful tools that help you edit text and move it around. - - - - - View: - - This menu lets you decide how Ximian Evolution - should look. Some of the features control the appearance of - Ximian Evolution as a whole, and others - the way a particular kind of information appears. - - - - - Actions: - - Holds actions which maybe applied to a message. Normally, - if there is only one target for the action -- for - example, replying to a message -- you can find it in - the Actions menu. - - - - - Tools: - - Tools for configuring, changing, and - setting up preferences go here. For mail, that means things like - Mail Configuration and the - Virtual Folder Editor. For the - Calendar and the Contact - Manager, it's color, network, and layout - configuration. - - - - - Help: - - Select among these items to open the - Help Browser - and read the Ximian Evolution manual. - - - - - - - Once you've familiarized yourself with the main - window you can start doing things with it. We'll - start with the Summary, which provides a - quick overview of your Ximian - Evolution information. - - - - Introducing the Summary - - The Ximian Evolution Summary provides you with a quick - run-down of important information: your appointments for a - given day, how much new mail you have, headlines from - selected news services, and so forth. To see the Summary, - click on the Summary button in the - shortcut bar, or select the Summary - folder in the folder bar. - - - -

First, it's built to handle very large - amounts of mail. Both the filtering and - searching - functions were built for speed and efficiency on large volumes - of mail. There's also the Ximian Evolution - vFolder, - an advanced organizational feature not found in mainstream - mail clients. If you get a lot of mail, or if you keep every - message you get in case you need to refer to it later, you'll - find this feature especially useful. - - - Here's what the mailer looks like: - - - -
- Ximian Evolution Mail - - Inbox - - - -
- - - - Email - Viewer - - - - This is where your email is displayed. - - - - Message List - - - - The Message List displays all the emails - that you have. This includes all your read, unread, and email - that is flagged to be deleted. - - - - If you find the view pane too small, you can resize - the pane, enlarge the whole window, or double-click on the - message in the message list to have it - open in a new window. To change the sizes of a pane, just click - and hold on the divider between the two panes. Then you can drag - up and down to select the size of the panes. - - - Just like with folders, you can right-click on messages in the - message list and get a menu of possible actions: you can move, - delete, or undelete them, and create filters or vFolders based - on them. - - - Most of the mail-related actions you'll want to perform are - listed in the Message menu in the menu bar. - The most frequently used ones, like - Reply and - Forward, also appear as buttons in - the toolbar. Almost all of them are also located in the - right-click menu and as keyboard shortcuts, which tend to be - faster once you get the hang of them. You can choose - whichever way you like best; the idea is that the software - should work the way you want, rather than making you work the - way the it does. - - - - For an in-depth guide to the email capabilities of Ximian - Evolution, read . - - - - Introducing the Calendar - - To begin using the calendar, select - Calendar from the shortcut - bar. By default, the calendar starts showing - today's schedule on a ruled background. At the upper right, - there's a monthly calendar you can use to switch days. Below - that, there's a Task pad, where you can - keep a list of tasks separate from your calendar appointments. - The day view in the calendar looks like this: - - -

- - - - - - Appointment - List - - - - The Appointment List is responsible for showing you all of - your scheduled appointments, whether they are all day appointments or simply one time - appointments that last a half an hour. - - - - - Task List - - - - The Task List compliments the - Appointment List as it keeps track of - tasks which don't have a time associated with them. Tasks can - have complex notes associated with them, and you can also note - their completeness on a percentage scale. - - - - - Calendar Window - - - - The Calendar Window has a graphical representation of - the calendar, so you can select what days to view in the Appointment - List. - - - - For more information about the calendar - read . - - - - - Introducing the Address Book - - The Ximian Evolution address book - can handle all of the functions of an address book, phone - book, or Rolodex. Of course, it's a lot easier to update - Ximian Evolution than it is to - change an actual paper book. Ximian - Evolution also allows easy synchronization with - hand-held devices and functions with LDAP directories on a network. - - - Another advantage of the Ximian Evolution - address book is its integration with the rest of the - application. For example, you can create an address card from - an email just by right-clicking on the sender's email address. - - - To open your address book, click on - Contacts in the shortcut bar, or select - one of your contacts folders from the folder bar. shows the address book in all its - organizational glory. By default, the address book shows all - your cards in alphabetical order, in a minicard view.
